Bronc Rider
 _________ 
This is a behind the scenes look at a Saddle Bronc Rider checking his rigging.  This was taken at Mustang, Oklahoma at an Independent Rodeo Association show.  In the bucking horse competition, there are saddle bronc riders and bareback bronc riders.  The rig hanging on the top of the fence is used for bareback riding and  is only a leather strap with a handle.  In saddle bronc riding, the horn is removed from the saddle to prevent injury if the horse and rider go down.
