YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Bareback riding is just one of the many events you can expect at this year's 75th Yuma Jaycee's Silver Spur Rodeo.

13 on Your Side's Jasmine Arenas had the opportunity to speak with Rio Lee, a bareback rider from Tucson, Arizona. Bareback riding is a sport that requires skill, coordination and balance. Lee has obtained all the necessary tools to be successful in this sport as he has been riding for 10 years. Lee currently leads the competition as of Friday night. He also attends the University of Arizona and is currently studying archaeology.
