Stole this Great Photo of Cowboy Fun!
Years Ago we had "Timed Events" like this
We used a Chute - Ride the bull - then pull the saddle and run/carry it to a point for TIME
the first saddle we use was an old High Back (cantle) Saddle - the first buck the cantle hit my friend in the middle of his back and almost killed him so we change to a low cantle saddle - that worked
Then in time I had an idea - if we used a "Pin with a Piggin rope" on the cinch we could pull the saddle much faster by just pulling the "PIN:- - My idea my ride - tied the Piggin rope around my wrist - when I got bucked off I was OK - then the bull hit the end of the rope - the pin came out as planed - the saddle went up high on the next buck and came down MY HEAD -- KO'd me
