Bareback Bronc Riding Pictures - Page 1 of 2

Bareback bronc riding is a rodeo event in which a rider tries to ride a bucking horse, called a "bronc," for eight seconds.

Bareback bronc riding is one of the "roughstock" events of rodeo, which also include saddle bronc riding and bull riding. All of the roughstock events are judged events, which means the winners are determined by judges that score the riders and the bucking animals on how well they perform.

Bareback Bronc Riding

In bareback bronc riding the bronc rider rides the bronc, just as the name of the event implies, bareback without a saddle. The rider does use a "bareback rigging," a special piece of equipment designed just for the event. The bareback rigging goes around the bronc's girth and has a handhold at the top. Contestants sit behind the bareback rigging, holding on with one hand in the handhold of the rigging. The other hand, the "free hand," is not allowed to touch the rider, the bronc, or the bareback rigging.
