==History== The earliest examples of American bronc riding were believed to have been born out of breaking horses for the United States Army, most notably in Wyoming and Colorado. The first three sanctioned bronc riding championship events were held in 1901 at the Colorado Cattle and Horse Grower's Association, Denver Horse Show Association, and the Northwestern Colorado competition.<ref>[https://wyomingnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=WYCDL19021013-01.1.2&srpos=300&e=-------en-20--281-byDA-img-txIN%7ctxCO%7ctxTA-Harry+Brennan-------0------ Cheyenne Daily Leader Newspaper 10/13/1902]</ref> The following year competitions were held on September 2, 1902, at Cheyenne, Wyoming's [[Cheyenne Frontier Days]], and in Denver, Colorado, at The Denver Horse Show Association annual event. Both of these were won by Harry Henry Brennan, known today as the "father of modern bronc riding."<ref>[https://nationalcowboymuseum.org/collections/awards/rodeo-hall-of-fame/inductees/5100/ National Cowboy Museum]</ref>
