Saddle bronc is a popular rodeo event where a rider attempts to stay on a bucking horse for a set amount of time, usually eight seconds. The rider uses a specialized saddle with a high cantle and no horn, allowing for better balance while the horse performs various movements. Points are awarded based on the rider's skill and the horse's performance. In this event, the horse is typically a breed known for its strength and agility, such as a Quarter Horse or Appaloosa. Judges score both the rider and the horse, making it a test of teamwork and athleticism in the rodeo arena.
