Eagle Rodeo Board Members
David Aschenbrener
Tracy Baggerly
Drew Blessinger
Chris Chesnut
While driving by the rodeo
grounds in 2007, David noticed
a few familiar pick-up trucks.
Since those pick-up trucks were
owned by some of his buddies, he
stopped by to say hello. The board
was a bit short handed that night,
so they asked him to help out at
the contestant gate. David joined
the following year when a member
spot became available.
Tracy started with the rodeo
in 2002. As one of the original
members, he continued, with
the help of mutual friends and
a new board, to make the Eagle
Rodeo the success it is today. The
conversation started simply with,
“Let’s put on a rodeo.” The rest is
history.
Drew is a 5th generation Idaho
Rancher. Growing up, Drew raised
and ran cattle with the family
and currently has 300 head of his
own. In his younger years, he rode
rough stock and to this day he
is still in the arena, but in a little
different manner. Drew is the pick
up man and the stock contractor
for the Eagle Rodeo.
In the past, Chris helped set up the
electrical side of the rodeo. Given
his trade and helpful nature, he
was asked to join the committee.
Chris is from Garden Valley and
enjoys being around rodeo and
the people associated. “It’s a little
taste of my past. More than that,
I enjoy being part of something
that helps others. It’s a great
organization with a great cause.
I’m proud to be part of the team.”

Scott Osmus
PJ Records
Nathan grew up on a registered
Hereford ranch and volunteered
for the Eagle Rodeo between 2002
and 2005. He was a committee
member from 2005 to 2007.
While attending the rodeo in 2012
current board members asked him
to re-join the committee.
Scott grew up farming and has
been around cows and horses
from the get go. He has been
team roping since 1996, dabbled
in bronc riding and has also
competed in the Eagle Rodeo. In
2009, current board members,
who were also good friends, asked
Scott to join the team.
PJ grew up helping on the
family ranch, riding, flanking
bulls for his buddies, and loving
animals. In 2002, when friends
from the original rodeo invited
him to become part of the team,
PJ jumped on board and hasn’t
looked back.

Barrier: in timed events, a line at the front of the box that the contestant/
horse cannot cross until the steer/calf has a head start, usually marked
with a rope and a flag
Judges: trained judges ensure that all participants follow the rules: they
determine times and scores for rides, record penalties, inspect the arena,
chutes and livestock before each competition
Box: in a timed event, the area a horse and rider back into before they
make a roping or steer wrestling run
Left (or right) delivery: many bucking animals prefer
to stand in the chute facing a particular direction
Breaking the barrier: in the timed events, if the rider leaves the box
too soon – failing to give the animal enough of a head start – a 10-second
penalty is added
Mark out: in bareback and saddle bronc, a cowboy’s feet must be above
the horse’s shoulders when the horse’s front feet hit the ground
Bronc rein: used by saddle bronc rider, reins are held at a specific
position based on the size and bucking habits of the horse

gate and the ride to begin or when he is ready for the calf or steer to be
released from the chute
Bulldogger: a steer wrestler
Penalty: amount of time tacked onto the final time if a rule is broken
Bullfighter: an athlete who protects the bull rider after he dismounts
or is bucked off by distracting the bull and directing it to the exit gate

Covering: in rough stock events, staying on for the minimum time:
“He covered all 3 broncs last weekend.”
Crossfire penalty: in team roping, if the header doesn’t change the
direction of the steer before the heeler catches, the run is disqualified
Dally: after a team roper throws his loop he wraps the loose rope around
his saddle horn
Draw: a random draw is conducted and each competitor is assigned
a specific bucking horse, bull or calf, steer.
Drop: the way a bucking horse/bull lowers its front end while kicking
out in back or the way a calf/steer lowers its head to avoid a catch
Flags: judges in use flags to signal the timers to stop the clocks
Flank man: someone who works in the bucking chutes, adjusting the
flank strap around the animal before the ride
Flank strap: a strap placed in the area where a human’s belt would go,
it encourages the animal to kick out behind itself rather than rear up
Go-round: Many rodeos have more than one round of competition; each

Donating to a Good Cause
eagle rodeo’s contribution
There are many programs in our area that benefit from your generous
support of the Eagle Rodeo. Some are geared toward education and
healing, some toward youth, while others provide much needed
support to our peers. One of this year’s causes is blessed with the
dedication of serving our community. Their program encourages
a hand-up through one-on-one mentoring, teaching budget &
life skills. We would like to support Love INC by opening
the Eagle Rodeo to a newly created food drive called–
Stomp out Hunger
RAFFLE - Drawing
Were you a Fan? Did you bring a Can?
Keep those tickets! One lucky person will win
an Eagle Rodeo Swag bag each night of the
rodeo. Must be present to win. To increase
your odds, additional tickets are available for
a donation to Love INC.
What is love inc boise?
Meeting the needs of the poor is a top priority for churches
in Boise, Idaho. A network of about 40 congregations is
crossing denominational lines to help those trapped in poverty.
An organization called “Love INC Boise” (Love, in the
Name of Christ) is helping them do that by providing the
basics like food, clothing and a host of other essential items.
“A lot of times they’re needing help with making the rent,
paying the electric bills. In fall, we see a lot of school
supplies and clothes for kids,” Kimbra Shaw, outreach
director of Love INC, said.
“In late fall we’ll see coats and blankets become a heavy,
heavy need,” she explained.
People looking for assistance call a hotline, and operators at
Love INC Boise direct them to a member church.
unifying the body of christ
There are more than 100 Love INC chapters across the country.
While the mission of Love INC is to help churches needs in
local communities, it also focuses on unifying the Body of
Christ for the purpose of transforming lives.
www.EagleRodeo.com
“One of Jesus’ prayers was that we’d be one and there’s nothing better that
demonstrates the reality and the truthfulness of the Gospel than when the
Church comes together and doesn’t see themself in competition,” Pastor
Rod Enos of Southside Christian Center said.
Shaw agreed, saying, “… Each church individually can’t do it all. But when
they work together every church brings a little bit. They each bring their part
together and we can funnel that through Love INC and we can do it all.”
What makes us
different?
We see people as having great value to God
and therefore deserving more than just handouts. People are worth the investment of our
time and our talents. This investment is critical
if we are to stay true to our mission... to transform the lives of those we serve as well as the
deployed church volunteers who serve.
breaking the cycle
Shaw said their work isn’t just about meeting the physical needs of
participants.
As a follow up to the initial request for help, the group offers a six month
program called “Abundant Living.”
It’s a hands-on approach that requires effort on the part of those needing help.
It teaches participants skills, such as healthy cooking or balancing a budget.
“Just giving stuff – that handout – isn’t breaking the cycle of living in
need,” Shaw said.
“It is investing relationally with people, walking with them — not doing
to them, not doing for them — but doing with them the things that glorify
God and brings them into first relationship with us and then by model into
relationship with Christ,” she added.
beyond church walls
The impact of Love INC is reaching well beyond the walls of the churches.
“What we see is that the community is taking notice and we see
communities seeking us out…the city and the county and the state are all
realizing that charity in itself doesn’t work,” Shaw added
Pastor Brenn Angelos of Revolution 22 Church is part of the Boise Love
network.
Angelos and his church members often help home owners with building
projects they can’t afford on their own.
“It’s not just ‘Here, serve someone. Here’s some money, go away,’ but it’s we’re
going to enter relationally and show Christ through not just tangible things but
also through bringing the spirit of God to those in need,” Angelos said.
This Love INC strategy is an effective model and method for mobilizing
church congregations to live out two of the Bible’s greatest commands: to
love God and to love their neighbor.
Love INC seeks to empower people who live
in need by investing in their lives through
caring, sustained relationships that encourage change and learning. We partner with like
minded organizations throughout Boise to
empower people who live in need by investing
in their lives though caring, sustained relationships that encourage change and learning.
Our Abundant Living Relational Program is
a program that supports families by freeing
people from financial bondage using the God’s
Financial Principles. The program encourages a hand-up through one-on-one mentoring,
teaching budget & life skills. We encourage our Clients to consider this life changing
program and we currently support over 25
families who are actively enrolled.
Families attend a weekly meeting at a Boise
church which offers a neutral setting during
which the Clients and Budget Counselors
(church volunteers) meet both in a group and
a one-on-one setting. This is a continual program that includes hands-on work with trained
volunteer advisors, goal-setting exercises,
participation in group activities designed to be
a support system, and other living skills. The
length of a person’s involvement depends on
several factors: degree of financial difficulty,
client’s level of commitment and self-discipline, and the desire to learn.
If you know of a Boise family who is in need
of assistance and could benefit from this
program, please have them call the Love INC
Boise Assistance line at 208-377-3502, ext. 1.
Rodeo 101
steer wrestling
Speed and strength are the name of the game in steer wrestling.
In fact, with a world record sitting at 2.4 seconds, steer wrestling
is the quickest event in rodeo. The objective of the steer wrestler,
who is also known as a “bulldogger,” is to use strength and
technique to wrestle a steer to the ground as quickly as possible.
The goal is to catch the steer by the horns and flip it onto its back
in the fastest time possible. That sounds simple enough, right?
Here’s the catch: the steer generally weighs more than twice
as much as the cowboy and, at the time the two come together,
they’re both often traveling about 30 miles per hour. Speed and
precision, the two most important ingredients in steer wrestling,
make bulldogging one of rodeo’s most challenging events. It
works like this… A breakaway rope barrier is attached to the
steer and stretched across the open end of the box. The steer
wrestler on horseback, starts behind a barrier, and begins his
chase after the steer has been given a head start. The head start is
determined by the size of the arena. The barrier is released when
the steer reaches the advantage point and the bulldogger takes
off in pursuit. If the bulldogger breaks the barrier before the steer
reaches the head start, a 10-second penalty is given. A perfect
combination of strength, timing and technique are necessary for
success in the lightning-quick event of steer wrestling. In addition
to strength, other skills critical to successful steer wrestling are
timing, balance and understanding the principles of leverage.
When the bulldogger’s horse pulls even with the steer, he eases
down the right side of the horse and reaches for the steer’s horns.
After grasping the horns, he digs his heels into the dirt. As the
steer slows, the cowboy turns the animal, lifts up on its right
horn and pushes down with his left hand. After the catch, the
steer wrestler must either bring the steer to a stop or change the
direction of the animal’s body before the throw or is disqualified.
The clock stops when the steer is on his side with all four legs
pointing in the same direction. To catch the sprinting steer, the
bulldogger is assisted by a “hazer,” another cowboy on horseback
tasked with ridding along the right side of the steer and keeping it
from veering away from the bulldogger. The efforts of the hazer
can be nearly as important as those of the steer wrestler. Steer
wrestling is often known as the “big man’s event” and with good
reason; at the 1995 NFR in Las Vegas, the average steer wrestler
weighed in at 223 pounds.
break away ropping
Breakaway roping is a rodeo event that features a calf and one
cowgirl riding her horse. The calves are moved through narrow
pathways leading to a chute with spring-loaded doors. A 10-foot
rope is fastened around the calf’s neck which is used to ensure
that the calf gets a head start. On one side of the chute will be
the breakaway roper who will attempt to rope the calf. The
breakaway roper is behind a taut rope fastened with an easily
broken string which is fastened to the rope on the calf. When
the roper is ready she calls for the calf and the chute man trips
a lever opening the doors. The suddenly freed calf breaks out
running. When the calf reaches the end of his rope, it pops off
and simultaneously releases the barrier for the roper. The roper
must throw the rope in a loop around the calf’s neck. Once the
rope is around the calf’s neck, the roper signals the horse to stop
suddenly. The rope is tied to the saddle horn with a string. When
the calf hits the end of the rope, the rope is pulled tight and the
string breaks. The breaking of the string marks the end of the run.
The fastest run wins.

Eagle Rodeo Royalty
A rodeo queen is the face of rodeo. From the rhinestones on her crown to the rowels
on her spurs, she represents the heritage of an age-old sport. She brings a softness to
the rough and tumble world of cowhide and grit, but she has to have a little grit herself.
For the role of a rodeo queen has become far more than simply a polished and poised
demeanor – it’s a personal commitment to keep our Western heritage alive.

Hello, I’m 16 years old and have lived in Idaho all of my
life. I attend Mountain View High School as a junior. My
parents are Jim and Jodie Lambrecht, and I also have an
older sister, Ashlie Lambrecht. I love the summer, as it’s
the best time of the year for non-stop riding. My horse is a
registered paint horse. Her name is Bella. My other hobbies
are hunting, swimming, archery and chilling with my friends.
I’ve been riding since I was about five and have loved it ever
since. When I was old enough I joined 4-H. Bella and I are
looking forward to seeing everyone in parades, waving to the
crowd during my queen runs and having fun being the 2014
Eagle Rodeo SR. Queen. I have watched our rodeo since I
could remember and now I look forward to being part of this
tradition and wonderful community event. I believe that when
it comes to rodeo, horses, and life for that matter, knowledge
is never-ending. Armed with a passion for helping others
and words of wisdom from my mother, “do something that
makes you happy and something that makes a difference.” I
am forever grateful to my friends, family, and sponsors that
have helped me on this journey. Every little bit of your time
and efforts are precious to me and I am ever so thankful. I am
absolutely elated for my year as Eagle Rodeo Sr. Queen.
I hope to see you all along the rodeo trail and I look forward
to meeting everyone at our 2015 Eagle Rodeo.

Hello rodeo friends and family, I am the 13 year old daughter
of LeRoy and Quyann Kerby. I have one brother, Zack. I am
very proud to be an official ambassador of the sport of rodeo.
I have a future aspiration to be a rodeo competitor myself;
I look forward to promoting and educating others about the
sport I have grown to love. I attend Lake Hazel Middle School
where I play basketball and am on the Pride Committee.
Besides riding horses, I love arts and crafts, showing rabbits,
my horse, Jynx and swine in 4H. My first rodeo queen pageant
involvement began at age 12 as a contestant in the 2013 Eagle
Rodeo Pageant. Unknown to me at the time was how valuable
my pageant experience would prove to be. I’ve gained
confidence through public speaking, poise through modeling,
and increased her knowledge of my community and the sport
of rodeo. As the Eagle Rodeo Jr Queen, I hope to inspire
others to enter their local and state rodeo queen pageant so
they too, will benefit from the experience while building
confidence and achieving dreams.

Reflecting back on the year with our
eagle rodeo 2014 queens
Fans are you ready? Who will be our next queens? Coronation
of the next Eagle Rodeo Senior Queen and Junior Queen 2015
will take place Saturday night, June 13th, 2015, it can’t be anything but a bitter sweet moment for the two young ladies who
so eloquently represented the Eagle Rodeo for the past year.
2014 Eagle Rodeo Queen Halie Lambrecht, and Jr. Queen
Ashley Kerby, reflected upon their adventure and it’s never
ending parade of autographs and smiles, mingled with the
glimmer of a sparkling crown and bejeweled western apparel.
“I think the biggest thing for me is realizing what an honor it
is to have held my very first queen title and to proudly be part
of the royalty court of the Eagle Rodeo,” Halie replies warmly
with a big grin – Ashley smiles enthusiastically in agreement.
Being the first rodeo of the year, they both agree that it is very
important to promote and represent the Eagle Rodeo by traveling to as many events as possible to get the word out. When
they say, “I’ve been everywhere, man”, it’s not far from the
truth. Starting the weekend after their coronation in June 2014,
the girls were off and running 100 miles a minute. Totaling
more than 12,000 miles traveled during their reign. It began
with the following week having the opportunity to spend some
up close and personal time with Country Western star Collin
Raye. The girls assisted with a benefit concert for the Personal
Ponies (one of the girls community service programs). Followed by the Meridian Dairy Days Parade, Holiday parades,
night light parades, Harvest Festivals in various communities
and benefit walks/runs for the fight of cancer. Not to mention
buzzing multiple ICA and PRCA rodeos throughout the Treasure Valley, Idaho City, the Pendleton Round Up, Lewiston
Roundup and the ICA Finals last October. They also participated in dozens of charity events, horse shows, radio promotions, children’s events, Miss Rodeo Idaho events and many
other queen pageants. Halie and Ashley were very excited to
explain that they had an exclusive invitation and attended the
Governor’s Ball.
www.EagleRodeo.com
You’d think with that kind of schedule that it would have the
girls whirling, but their huge smiles, twinkling eyes, and the fact
that both will be continuing their quest for a new rodeo crown
this year is a sure indicator that they truly enjoyed themselves.
“It can get pretty hard, though” admits Halie. “There’s more
pressure to get good grades, and sometimes you have to drop
everything to get ready for an event, but you learn such valuable lifelong skills that will prepare you for the future.”
Winning a crown is so much more than the glam, glitz and
fancy outfits. It’s a lot of very hard work. While they are still
judged on their appearance and riding skills, the girls must
build their knowledge base of all things rodeo: livestock, agriculture, current events, history, and the rodeo itself. They must
also practice public speaking and how to represent themselves
in public in order to be able to provide the right answer to
any given question. It takes hours, and hours of preparation to
become an articulate ambassador for the sport of rodeo.
“I love to talk, though” Ashley grins. Her eyes sparkle as she
talks about the value of being Eagle Rodeo’s Jr. Queen. “I’m
learning to be well-rounded with horsemanship skills and public
speaking. I think it’s really going to help with interview skills.
It’s also a great way to share my love of horses with others.”
When you are busy with school as well as being a queen, both
admit that you have to be pretty dedicated to get everything
done. “It takes months and months of work to get you and
your horse ready to buzz an arena while carrying a flag,” Halie
says. “There’s a lot of timing and planning involved, especially when juggling school work, church and family.”
So, if you’re thinking these girls are ranch raised, think again.
Both simply fell in love with horses, rodeo, and the western
way of life at an early age and - the one thing about rodeo it’s a family kind of sport. Both dads and moms jumped in to
support their girls and it basically became part of their lifestyle. It’s an experience shared by the whole family.
“Parents are a very supportive key part of getting ready,” Ashley exclaims. “My mom even learned how to load horses, and
my dad is right there helping me groom.” The admiration and
love both girls have for their parents shines in their eyes, for
they admit they wouldn’t be able to do it all without them.
Other sources of invaluable support, the girls say, come from
the Eagle Rodeo Board and Queen Director Jodie Perkins and
Co-Director Lori Cooper. We have had the best of times with
Jodie and Lori while traveling. We listen to music, dance to
the beat, tell lots of stories but most important we are always
learning very valuable lessons these two directors teach us.
“The Eagle Rodeo is just the best rodeo, and the board is
amazing. They listen to us, providing us what we need, and
have been so supportive of everything we are doing,” Halie
says beaming.
Jodie Perkins, coordinates the Queen’s
schedule for the year,
is part friend, advocate, trainer, coach,
and road warrior, traveling to nearly every
event with the queens
throughout the year.
Jodie has brought on
board to co-direct with
her and relies on her
partner Lori Cooper.
“Jodie is always there
for us,” Halie says
affectionately. “She’s
someone you can
lean on, and she’s really helped us grow.”
Halie also adds “Lori
her co-director gives
110% to us also, she’s
always there for us
and helping wherever
Jodie needs her to, she
goes to nearly all of
our functions too and
makes sure we’re well
taken care of”, Ashley
says, grinning ear to
ear agreeing and adding “that without both
of these ladies, I don’t
think we could of done
all of this on our own.”
Both Halie and Ashley
feel honored to have
been Eagle Rodeo’s
2014 Senior Queen
and Junior Queen - the
experience has shaped
their lives in so many
positive ways. To
future queens Ashley
recommends, “No
matter who you are
representing… do it
because you love it.”
They are indeed very
smart young ladies,
and we wish them our
best in whatever adventure they choose next.

Rodeo 101
bull riding
The rules are simple: a cowboy, using only a braided rope
wrapped around the bulls torso, must hang on for 8 seconds
without touching the bull with his free hand. Size, agility and
power create a danger that makes bull riding a crowd favorite
everywhere. Balance, flexibility, coordination, quick reflexes and,
perhaps above all, a strong mental attitude are the stuff of which
good bull riders are made. The risks are obvious. Serious injury
is always a possibility for those fearless enough to sit astride an
animal that literally weighs a ton and is usually equipped with
dangerous horns. The rider tries to remain forward, or “over his
hand,” at all times. Leaning back could cause him to be whipped
forward when the bull bucks. To stay aboard the bull, a rider
grasps a flat braided rope, which is wrapped around the bull’s
chest. This rope is placed just behind the front legs and over
its withers. One end of the bull rope, called the tail, is threaded
through a loop on the other end and tightened around the bull.
The rider then wraps the tail around his hand, sometimes weaving
it through his fingers to further secure his grip. Then he nods his
head, the chute gate swings open, and he and the bull explode
into the arena. Every bull is unique in its bucking habits. A bull
may dart to the left, then to the right, and finally rear back. Some
spin or continuously circle in one spot in the arena. Others add
jumps or kicks to their spins, while others might jump and kick
in a straight line or move side to side while bucking. As in all
the riding events, half of the score in bull riding is determined
by the contestant’s performance and the other half is based on
the animal’s efforts. Bull riders are not required to mark out
their animals, but spurring a bull can add to the cowboy’s score.
Judges watch for good body position and other factors, including
use of the free arm and spurring action. Riders are commonly
judged solely on their ability to stay aboard the twisting, bucking
mass of muscle. A bull rider will be disqualified for touching the
animal, himself, or his equipment, with his free hand.
Barrel racing
Barrel racing may look less daring than some of the other rodeo
events, but it’s certainly is not for the timid. The horsemanship
skills and competitive drive in this fast and furious event make it
a crowd favorite. In barrel racing, the horse and contestant enter
the arena at full speed. When they begin the course the electronic
eye is triggered and the clock starts. The racer rides a cloverleaf
pattern around three barrels positioned in the arena. While
sprinting back out of the arena they trip the eye and the clock
stops. The contestant can touch and even move the barrels, but if
any barrel is knocked down a five-second penalty is received for
each one. The barrel racing title is usually decided by hundredths
of a second, one tipped barrel can mean the difference between a
victory and finishing out of the money.

Rodeo 101
Tie-down roping
Tie-down roping is an event that evolved from everyday duties
where cowhands had to rope and immobilize calves quickly
to doctor or brand them. Ranch hands prided themselves on
this skill and soon turned their work into informal contests.
Today, the cowboy on horseback starts from a box, a three-sided
fenced area adjacent to the chute holding the calf. The fourth
side of the box opens into the arena. The calf receives a head
start that is determined by the length of the arena. One end of
a breakaway rope barrier is looped around the calf’s neck and
stretched across the open end of the box. When the calf reaches
its advantage point, the barrier is released. If the roper breaks
the barrier before the calf reaches its head start, a 10-second
penalty is given. The horse is trained to come to a stop as soon
as the cowboy throws his loop and catches the calf. The cowboy
then dismounts, sprints to the calf and flanks it. If the calf is not
standing when the cowboy reaches it, he must allow the calf to
get back on its feet before flanking it. After the calf is flanked,
the roper ties any three legs together with a pigging string - a
short, looped rope he clenches in his teeth during the run.
Meanwhile, his horse must pull back hard enough to eliminate
any slack in the rope, but not so hard as to drag the calf. When
the roper finishes tying the calf, he throws his hands in the air
as a signal to the judge that he‘s done. The roper then remounts
his horse, rides forward to create slack in the rope and waits six
seconds. If the calf kicks free, no score is received.

team roping
Team roping requires close cooperation and timing between two
highly skilled ropers - a header and a heeler - and their horses.
Team ropers start from the boxes on each side of the chute from
where the steer enters the arena. The steer gets a head start
determined by the length of the arena. One end of a breakaway
barrier is attached to the steer and stretched across the open end
of the header’s box. When the steer reaches his advantage point,
the barrier is released, and the header takes off in pursuit, with
the heeler trailing. A 10-second penalty is added if the header
breaks the barrier before the steer completes the head start. The
header ropes first and must make one of three legal catches
on the steer or is disqualified--around both horns, around one
horn and the head or around the neck. After the header makes
his catch, he turns the steer and exposes the hind legs to the
heeler. The heeler then attempts to rope both hind legs. If he
catches only one foot, a five-second penalty is added. The clock
is stopped once the steer is caught, the horses face one another
and there is no slack in their ropes. If one or the other misses
completely, the team receives a no time. Another important
aspect to the event is the type of horses used by the ropers.
Heading horses generally are taller and heavier because they
need the power to turn the steer after it is roped. Heeling horses
are quick and agile, enabling them to better follow the steer and
react to it moves.

Rodeo 101
saddle bronc riding
bareback
Saddle bronc riding evolved from breaking and training horses
to work cattle ranches. Many cowboys claim riding saddle broncs
is the toughest rodeo event to master because of the technical
skills necessary for success. Every move the bronc rider makes
must be synchronized with the movement of the horse. The rider
must mark out their horses on the first jump from the chute.
To properly mark out a horse, the rider must have both heels
touching the animal above the point of its shoulders when it
makes its first jump from the chute. If the rider misses the mark,
no score is received. The bronc rider holds onto a thick rein
attached to the horse’s halter. Using one hand, the cowboy tries
to stay securely seated in his saddle. If he touches any part of
the horse or his own body with his free hand, he is disqualified.
Judges score the horse’s bucking action, the cowboy’s control
throughout the ride, the length of his spurring stroke and how
hard the horse bucks. While striving to keep his toes turned
outward, the rider spurs from the points of the horse’s shoulders
then sweeping to the back of the saddle as the horse bucks. The
rider then snaps his feet back to the horse’s neck a split second
before the animal’s front feet hit the ground. To score well, the
rider must maintain that action throughout the eight-second ride.
While the bucking ability of the horse is quite naturally built into
the scoring system, a smooth, rhythmic ride is sure to score better
than a wild, uncontrolled effort. Disqualification can also results
if either foot slips out of a stirrup or if he drops the bronc rein.
Bareback riding consistently produces some of the wildest
action in the sport. To stay aboard the horse, a bareback rider
must grasp the rigging with only one hand. The rigging made
of leather and cowhide resembles a suitcase handle on a strap.
The rigging is placed atop the horse’s withers and secured with a
cinch. As the bronc and rider burst from the chute, the rider must
have both spurs touching the horse’s shoulders until the horse’s
feet hit the ground on its first jump from the chute. This is called
“marking out.” If the cowboy fails to mark out, he is disqualified.
In bareback, the rider reaches forward with his legs toward the
horse’s neck, and then pulls his legs back toward him as the horse
leaps, swinging his legs wide and back toward the horse’s neck
as the horse completes its jump. A bareback rider is judged on his
spurring technique, the degree to which his toes remain turned
out while he is spurring and the rider’s “exposure” to the strength
of the horse. The horse’s performance accounts for half the total
score. The rider is disqualified if he fails to mark his horse out,
touches any part of the horse or his equipment with his free hand,
or if he is bucked off before the completion of the 8-second ride.
