With violent grace this saddle bronc seems to float lightly In the air as he delivers a sharp
neck-popping high kick behind. To score well enough to win, the rider must spur the bronc from
shoulder to flank throughout the wild, 10-seeond ride. Saddle bronc riding Is one of the feature
events of Hie RCA rodeo at the Holt fair. Rodeo performances will be Wednesday and Thursday
nights, August 20-21, under the lights.
Pickup Man Fret
About Man, Horse
The pickup men who ride up on
either side of a still-bucking bronc
after the whistle look like they’re
to save the man. But that’s only
half their job.
They’re just as worried about
saving the horse.
There are still plenty of bronc
riders these days but good, con
sistent bucking horses show signs
of getting scarce as teeth in a
trout. The pickup men move in
fast to get the rider because
nothing discourages a horse quick
er than the feeling he’s been beat
en.
The quicker the bronc gets that
cussed cowboy off his back, the
better he feels about it. And the
better he feels, the better he
bucks.
Picking up is no job for a green
horn. At best it’s a risky maneuver,
riding flank to flank with a skit
tish, spring-spined outlaw that
holds no love for any other creat
ure. Most pickup men are skilled,
experienced hands, some of them
having learned the trade when
hucking horses were snubbed
down in the arena, in the days be
fore side delivery chutes were
developed.
Occasionally you’ll see a bronc
quit bucking at the whistle. The
rodeo announcer will probably call
him a union horse that dislikes
overtime. It’s not the whistle that
tops the bronc but the approach of
the pickup horses. With those fam
iliar fellows falling in beside him,
the buckng horse loses a lot of his
resentment.
The first thing the pickup rider
docs is take the bucking rein from
the bronc rider, draw it up tight
and snub it around the saddle
horn. With his head held up, it’s
harder for a horse to buck.
This also hold the two horses
close together, allowing the bronc
rider to grab the pickup man’s
shoulders and pull himself out of
the saddle. The cowboy swings
across the rump of the gentle
horse and drops to the ground on
the safe side, away from the still
dangerous hooves of the bucking
horse.
Then the pickup man loosens
the flank strap, tightened as the
bronc left the chute, and leads
the bucking horse out of the
arena.
The pickup horses are among
the best—and best trained—horse
flesh you’ll see in the arena all
afternoon. First, they have to be
faster than any bronc in the string
or the picking up process will de
generate into a horse chase of
several laps around the track.
Teaching a horse to pick up
takes a lot of patient training.
Horses are no more inclined than
humans to close quickly with a
high kicking comrade. An the
horse must stand steady while
his rider is busy snubbing the
rein and the spurred bronc rider
is scrambling across his rump.
Just a slight misstep at that
critical moment and the cowboy
would be dropped under the hoov
es.
Accidents like that happen often
enough as it.
