Wednesday, April 15, 2015 Page 15 Red Bluff Daily News bareback One of the most physically demanding events in rodeo. A bareback rider sits directly on a bucking horse, with only his own "riggin" to hold onto. As the horse comes out of the chute, the cowboy's feet must be above the break of the horse's shoulders. He holds his feet up at least through the horse's first move, usually a jump, then spurs the horse on each jump, matching the horse's rhythm and showing control rather than flopping around. He may not touch the horse, his equipment or himself with his free hand. If the ride lasts eight seconds, two judges award up to 25 points each for the cowboy's "exposure" to the strength of the horse and his spurring technique and up to 25 points each for the horse's bucking strength and moves. 2014 World Champ 2015 Money Leader 2014 Round-Up Kaycee Feild contin- ues to dominate in 2015 with wins in San Antonio and Kissimee, Florida.
