Bareback Equipment

Cowboys are only as good as their equipment. Rodeo equipment has become highly specialized but it is still rather simple. Learn all about the equipment used in the bareback riding event.

Roughstock Riders Spurs

Top quality spurs for bareback, saddle bronc, and bull riders. From CLG Pro Rodeo Equipment. I own a pair of the bareback spurs and I swear by them. Check it out!

Bareback Riggings

The main piece of equipment for the bareback rider. I have ridden with a CLG rig and I recommend them highly.

Bareback Gloves

Probably one of the most important factors in success as a bareback rider is having an excellent glove. One that fits just right is key. CLG makes just about the best gloves that I have ever encountered. After breaking a knuckle because of a cheap glove, I know what I am talking about.

Bareback Accessories

Pads, cinches, latigos, armbraces, and rosin, etc. All the other products you will need for a career in the bareback riding.

Safety Equipment

Perhaps the greatest advancement in safety for the rodeo cowboy is the adoption of protective vests. Great for bareback and saddle bronc riders and a necessity for bull riders, these vests are worth the investment a hundred times over.
