bronco rider
Tames bucking horses
A bronco rider is someone who rides broncos—wild or half-tamed horses—in rodeo competition or ranch work.
The rider attempts to stay mounted while the horse bucks violently, often for a required eight seconds in competition: The bronco rider held on with one hand raised high.
The term evokes Western cowboy culture and the skill required to handle unbroken horses.
