	Bareback Bronc Riding
		A bareback rider is judged on his spurring technique, the degree to which his toes remain turned away from the horse throughout the ride, and his "exposure," or willingness to lean far back and take whatever may come during a ride.
		Bareback riders grasp a "rigging," a handhold made of leather and rawhide that is secured to the horse with a cinch.
		Bareback riding, just like in saddle bronc riding, requires the rider to "mark out" his horse - to place his feet above the horse's shoulders until the animal's front feet hit the ground on its first move out of the chute.
