bronc riding

Cowboy rodeo sport

Bronc riding is a rodeo event in which a cowboy attempts to stay mounted on a bucking horse for eight seconds.

In saddle bronc riding, the rider uses a specialized saddle and holds a braided rein; in bareback bronc riding, the rider grips only a leather rigging.

Judges score both the rider's form and the horse's bucking intensity.

He competed in bronc riding at the state fair.
