Saddle Bronc Riding

Saddle bronc riding involves a competitor riding a bucking horse equipped with a saddle and rein. The rider attempts to stay mounted for eight seconds while the horse bucks, kicks, and twists around the arena. Similar to bull riding, this event relies on provoking bucking behaviour through a tight flank strap around the horse and subjects horses to stress and discomfort purely for the purpose of entertainment.
