The Best of the Best. World Champions to Rookies. We have it all. . . . Dating back to 1923, Ellensburg Rodeo is proud to showcase some of the best cowboys and cowgirls in the world. . . . Saddle bronc riding is rodeo's classic event. Saddle Bronc Riding evolved from the task of breaking and training horses to work the cattle ranches in the Old West. This event requires strength to be sure, but the event also demands style, grace and precise timing. Many cowboys claim riding saddle broncs is the toughest rodeo event to master because of the technical skills necessary for success. You must ride for 8 seconds without touching with your free hand. The horse and rider are judged. Judges score the horse's bucking action, the cowboy's control of the horse and the cowboy's spurring action. . . .
