Women's bronc riding is a part of rodeo history which many people are unfamiliar with, but it was at one time a well respected and significant part of professional rodeo. As rodeos became more prevalent in American culture, women from across the country stepped into the saddles of early day pro-rodeo roughstock. The creak of leather, the smell of horses, the sounds of the arena and the anticipation that accompanied every ride; for the women who lived the rodeo life it was all of this and more, it was the hopes for a good ride, a fair judge, and a safe trip to the next stop on the rodeo circuit.

In the early years major rodeos such as the Pendleton Round-Up in northeast Oregon and Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming welcomed women bronc riders and often featured them in their top billings to draw in crowds, for the cowgirls, often wearing elegant outfits of their own design, were consummate crowd-pleasers, and every fan had their favorites.
