Carrying on the sport
of saddle bronc riding
J oe Scott III is among the
best young saddle bronc rid-
ers in the state.
This summer he won the
Oregon High School Rodeo
Association saddle bronc
competition at Prineville,
qualifying for the National
High School Championships
in Wyoming.
Joe just finished his jun-
ior year of high school, giv-
ing him a great chance to
repeat as the state high
school champion in his se-
nior year.
Joe III comes from a fam-
ily of saddle bronc riders,
carrying on the tradition es-
tablished by his dad Joe Jr.
and grandfather Joe Sr.
When he first started out
in the sport, Joe III had to

stayed on his eighth horse,”
Joe says.
“It took me 20 horses
before I even stayed on one.

Asked what advice he might
have for young people in-
terested in bronc riding, Joe
III says:
“You’ve got to prepare
yourself for a lot of buck
offs. I’ve been bucked off
more than I’ve stayed on. You
have to be level headed, and
find someone to teach you
how to do it right. And then
get a saddle.”
