Question

How many seconds must a rider remain on a broncing horse to qualify for points?

Answer 1

In order to qualify for any score, the rider must stay on for 8 seconds.  The judges then decide how many style points are awarded, which includes how tough the horse was to ride.

Answer 3

im pretty sure its 8 seconds, but points also counts on how well you ride it. you get less points for an easy ride

Answer 4

I believe it's 8 seconds

Answer 5

They have 8 secs to stay on the bronco same with bull riding.  

i actually have a t-shirt with a good looking topless cowboy on it that says " I need more than an 8 sec ride.."  hehehe

Answer 6

I thought it was 6, but as I don't follow rodeo ( I have issues with some of the cruelty to the animals in most rodeos) I can't say for sure.
