Equine Talk Translated

Every hobby has its own terminology and shorthand, but equine sports seem to have more than their fair share. Many rookies describe their foray into the world of horses as trying to learn a foreign language. In this article, we’ll break down some of the most common labels for horse riders—aside from “just plain crazy!”

What is an Equestrian?

This is the most common and general term for horse riders (and those who spend a lot of time around horses, mounted or not). It’s a gender-neutral term that applies to any discipline (i.e. activity), so it’s a great option when you aren’t sure what to say.

What is a Cowboy or Cowgirl?

If you want to use a gender-specific rider term, consider cowboy (male) or cowgirl (female). Note: These words are typically reserved for riders in Western disciplines.

What is a Jockey?

A jockey refers to a racehorse rider. Jockeys are small in stature, which makes it easier for the horses to carry their weight at high speeds. This is a gender-neutral term.

What is a Vaquero or Vaquera?

Though rarer in the United States, the terms Vaquero (male) or Vaquera (female) are sometimes used to describe horse riders who tend cattle. These words have Spanish roots and are often referenced when talking about foundational cowboys and horseman in 16th century America.

What is a Buckaroo?

This is technically a gender-neutral term, though it’s typically used to describe male horse riders in Western disciplines and rodeos. Sometimes a buckaroo is also a term of endearment for young riders.

What is a Bronc Rider?

This refers to a person who competes at rodeos by riding bucking horses—with a saddle.

What is a Bareback Rider?

This refers to a person who competes at rodeos by riding bucking horses—without a saddle.

What is a Pickup Rider?

A pickup rider assists at rodeos by helping bronc and bareback riders dismount safely once their rides are over. They work in teams to ride up alongside the bucking horse to a) release the bucking strap and b) give the rider someone to hold onto as they slide off the horse to the ground. Though the vast majority of pickup riders are men, we’re excited to see some tough ladies entering the arena these days too.

What is a Catch Rider?

This refers to someone who rides horses in competition that they do not own or train. Typically, these riders have little familiarity with the horses and may be asked to compete with very little advance notice. For equestrians who want to gain a lot of experience on different horses, and make some extra cash, this can be a great way to do it.

What is a Calf Roper?

A calf roper is someone who competes in the sport of calf roping. It’s a fast-paced discipline in which a calf is released and the horse and rider run after it and rope it. The horse should stop and ‘hold’ the cow while the rider jumps off, runs to the calf, and ties three of its legs. The goal is to complete these steps fastest.

What is a Team Roper?

As the name implies, this sport involves a pair of riders chasing a cow. One rider ropes the head (horns) and helps turn the cow so the other rider can rope the back legs. The goal is to do so fastest.

If someone is teasing an equestrian, you’ll hear names like Dust Eater (if they fall a lot), Pooper-Scooper, or hay gal.
