A specially designed collection of leather and cinches used for this event is called a "bareback rigging." Compared to the bull rope, this one is really tied on to the animal and has a built-in hand hold. The rider must start the ride with both of his or her feet extended forward over the horse’s shoulders and on the first leap out of the chute, pull backwards toward the horse’s rump. If the rider misses this, called “marking out”, he or she will be disqualified. If the rider makes the 6 seconds, he or she may be plucked to safety as the two “pick-up men” move in and attempt to rescue the rider from his or her bucking mount. Contestants may elect to ride two-handed from start to finish, but will also receive a lower score. Judging and point distribution are the same as Bull Riding.
