There is no real "salary." Roughstock riders get paid if they 1) make a ride, and 2) beat the other competitors. Being a roughstock rider is not a way to get a steady paycheck unless you are unbeatable.
Well I sure don't make enough, But in national standings good saddle bronk riders can make 80,000 a season if your sponsored and good at it.
Commonly seen in rodeos. A rider tries to stay on the bucking horse for a length of time but is permitted to use a saddle.

The saddle used on a Bronco is called a 'Bronc Saddle'. There really is no other special name for the piece of equipment.
Bareback bronc riding and saddle bronc riding. But it used to be 10 seconds for saddle bronc riding
The bronc rider must be in time with the bronc. This means their feet should be at the horse's shoulders with the toes pointed out when the horse's front feet hit the ground. The rider's feet should be back at the cantle of the saddle when the horse's back feet are on the ground. A smooth spurring action from cantle to shoulder is desired. The rider should sit up straight with the free hand in the air. The rein should be kept taut, but not tight. The rider is worth 50 points. The bronc is also worth 50 points. He is judged on the difficulty of his ride. There are extra points awarded for a good bucking horse and if the horse changes direction.
well i do it because i feel comfortable to put in my right foot in first into the stirrup.
Bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, and bull riding
Saddle bronc riders have a rope snapped onto the broncs halter for leverage, but that is it, the horse does not wear a bridle or bit so there are no 'real' reins.

There is no 'magic' size for saddle bronc riders, but a lower center of gravity (shorter stature) seems to have better luck staying on the required 8 seconds.
commity riggin
That would be called a saddle
