Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at Thomas and Mack - December 1 to 10, 2011
Bareback riding is a roughstock event where the contestant's score is equally dependent upon his performance and the horse's performance. The cowboy will attempt to ride his horse for eight seconds by hanging on to a handle similar to a suitcase handle on a strap, cinched on his horse.
The cowboy must ‘mark his horse out,’ or have both his spurs touching the horse’s shoulders until the horse’s feet touch the ground after horse’s first move out of the chute. Failure to do this will result in a disqualification. If the cowboy touches the horse, himself, or any of his equipment with his free hand he is disqualified.
The cowboy is judged on how he spurs, to what degree his toes stay turned out during the ride as he spurs, as well as how well the cowboy handles the horse’s moves. The horse is scored on how hard he is to ride based on if the horse changes direction, and bucks with lots of energy and power.
I would like to thank the Thomas and Mack, the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association), the Cowboys and Cowgirls, the stock contractors, and the fans for their support of rodeo.
Come join Me for ten days of rides, the wrecks, and the unforgettable moments of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Let’s Ride!!
