Rodeo Athletes
Rough Stock Event: Bareback Riding
Sponsored by EYE-Q
A single-handhold, eight-second ride, which starts with the cowboy’s feet held in a position over the horse’s shoulders until the horse’s feet touch the ground on the first jump out of the chute. Points are earned as the rider maintains upper body control while moving his feet in a toes-turned-out rhythmic motion.
World record: 94 points (2020)
