Bringing Wild Back to the West.
ARE YOU READY
TO GO XTREME?
Get ready to watch to most exciting event in Professional Rodeo—Xtreme Bronc Riding! This isn’t the kind of rodeo event your grandfather told you about... these cowboys don’t throw ropes or even use a chute to get on their bucking horses! While the event stems from one of the oldest known forms of rodeo competition, the XBR kicks up the heat a little hotter than your average rodeo action. Professional Cowboys of the XBR pride themselves on the fact that they compete against the toughest horses in rodeo, bucking horses that were raised specifically for rodeo competition. Just like their cowboy counterparts, horses become familiar with the event of Xtreme Bronc Riding. With each rodeo, these talented broncs become better competitors, giving rodeo fans an even more thrilling performance and posing a greater challenge to the XBR Cowboys!
Have you ever asked yourself, “What did cowboys do before they had chutes?”... Well, you might not find it surprising to hear that back in the 1800s when ranch hands were tasked with breaking and saddling many horses in a short amount of time, the task became a group or “team” activity. Naturally, as with most rodeo events, this soon became a form of friendly competition between teams of cowboys who wanted to see who could get their horse saddled and ridden the fastest.
The object of this Buckaroo Brilliance is smiple—contain a 1200 pound unbroken bucking horse with nothing but a lead shank and halter. Bring him to a stop, control the animal’s actions, cinch down a saddle, and buck him to the finish line. This must be performed while other teams are trying to accomplish an identical task at the same time, all in less than minutes. Does the expression “Wild Wild West” come to mind?...
ONE OF THE
THREE ORIGINAL
RODEO EVENTS.
THE WILD
WILD WEST.
One hundred and twenty years ago, rodeo consisted of various relay races, the pony express race, saddle bronc riding, steer roping, and the wild horse race. In recent years, the name Wild Horse Race has been replaced by Xtreme Bronc Riding. This title more accurately describes the event in that valuable ranch-raised bucking horses, not wild mustangs, are utilized in XBR competition. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys of Xtreme Bronc Riding not only practice their event but also hold rodeo schools and travel all across the United States to compete for the title of XBR World Champion.
