Saddle Bronc Riding is a popular rodeo event where a rider attempts to stay on a bucking horse for a set time, usually eight seconds. The rider uses a specialized saddle, which has a high cantle and horn, to help maintain balance while the horse performs various movements. Points are awarded based on the rider's skill and the horse's performance. This event is part of the larger sport of rodeo, which showcases various skills related to ranching and cattle handling. Saddle bronc riding is often considered one of the most challenging events due to the strength and unpredictability of the horse.
