Saddle Bronc Match Returns to Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo
January 24, 2012
The Central States Fair has announced that the Pioneer Bank & Trust Professional Saddle Bronc Match will return to this year’s show on Wednesday, February 1, 2012 starting with a cowboy meet and greet at 5 pm.
Thirty of the top saddle bronc riders in the nation will compete for $10,000 in added prize money. Entries include the likes of Chad Ferley, Jesse Bail, Chuck Schmidt, Toas Muncy, Wade Sundell, Tyler Corrington, and Ty Atchison, all just returning from the 2011 WNFR. The lineup of cowboys includes 14 NFR qualifiers, four World Champions with five titles, two Canadian National Champions, and two Indian National Finals Champions.
This event will feature the rankest broncs from four PRCA stock contractors including Burch Rodeo, Korkow Rodeos, J Bar J Rodeo and Powder River Rodeo. Scoring in a bronc match is based on 50 points for the cowboy and 50 points for the bronc. The contractors will be competing for additional prize money if their ten broncs have the highest average score for the event. This format will ensure the best quality bucking stock for the event. “When you match up the top bronc riders with this pen of horses, you are going to see some fireworks!” according to Wade Vos, Rodeo Committee Chair.
