Show Taming Wild Horses Was Big Part Of Taming the Wild, Wooly West Before the American cowboy could tame the west, he had to tame its wild horses. Whether raised on ranches or gathered in herds from the open ranges, the horse was the only means of transportation along the vast reaches of the half continent. In the old days bronc busting was a business a trade and proficient hands travelled from outfit to outfit breaking horses for so much a head. But just about A FIRM GRIP ON A HURRICANE is maintained by this bareback rider who clings tenaciously to the simple leather handhold on the rigging for a violent eight seconds ride. He must spur the unbridled horse over the point of the shoulders on the first jump out of the chute to qualify and lick him well during the ride to score high. He cant touch any part of the horse with his free hand, but there are no rules restricting what the bronc can-dto dump him. Scenes such as this will be repeated many times at the Black Diamond Stampede rodeo here August Sun - QdvoeGte "The -- SECOND SECTION . Thursday, July 18, 1957 every cowpuncher had to be able to sit a bucker since many horses never broke out completely. Because of this skill, bucking contests became a natural part of the early-da- y cowboy recreation. Although over the years, the event has been restricted by rules, the principle is the same in todays arena as it was the first time a cowboy bet his skill against his money: its a test of manpower against animal cunning. Bareback bronc riding, usually the first contest event on a professional rodeo program, is the wilder of rodeos two bronc riding events. Unrestricted by even so ' much as a halter, the bareback horse has his rider at a disadvantage the moment the chute gate flies open. The only equipment used in the evertt is a surcingle with a simple leather handhold on top. There is no saddle to help the cowboy keep his seat nor stirrups to absorb part of the shock of the bucks. And the rider has no rein to help him control the horse. To qualify the contestant must mark him out, spurring oVer the point of the horse's shoulders as the broncs feet hit the ground on the first jump out of the chute. Two cowboy judges follow closely every movement of the ride from opposite sides of the horse. They score the rider on the basis of from one to twenty points, depending largely on how he spurs, and the horse from 65 to 85 points on how well he bucks. To qualify the rider must hang on for eight seconds. Riding with rowels on his spurs that are too sharp in the opinion of the judges, touching the horse that comes off without breaking with his free hand or a rigging will earn the cowboy a "goose egg (zero) on the judges books and will cost him his entry fee.
