Saddle bronc is the quintessential rodeo sport - not the chaos of bull riding or the thrashing of bareback riding. It might be harder than both.

We're a rodeo association, not a bull-riding association. Our efforts should be focused on making our rodeos better.

From a distance, at a time of urbanization and connectivity, rodeo and ranching may seem anachronistic notions - quaint and sepia-toned from an America that no longer exists.

Rodeo careers can end without warning, as quick as the next try at an eight-second ride.

Bull riding is fun, but fighting is it.

There is no greater anesthetic than sport.
