Medicine Woman (horse)

Medicine Woman #302 (2003-2021) was an American rodeo bucking horse that was specialized in saddle bronc riding.

She also was the Saddle Bronc Horse of the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in 2010 and 2015.

Medicine Woman was born in 2003 and raised on a ranch at Freedom, Oklahoma.

In 2010, they switched her to saddle bronc riding; she remained there for the rest of her bucking career.

[1][2] Medicine Woman helped many cowboys earn 90+ point rides.

She assisted Wade Sundell in becoming a $1 million winner in the American Rodeo in Arlington, Texas, with a 90.75 ride.

In 2019, Sundell rode her again at the San Antonio Stock Show for a 92-point ride.

In 2020, Medicine Woman headed to the NFR at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, where she was officially retired.

[5] “She’s just a big old gentle bronc that just hangs out in the back end and when the gate opens she does give it 100 percent every time,” said Audy Reed.

Reed rode Medicine Woman for 87.5 points on March 17 at the Southeastern Livestock Exposition in Montgomery, Alabama.

Rusty Wright rode Medicine Woman for 91 points at last year's saddle-bronc event at the American Bank Center, and he won it.
