A friend of mine is a saddle bronc rider, first pro female one. She goes to bronc riding school every off season, she travels to Texas usually, she is at the gym everyday. She broke her neck too a few years ago, rehabbed and back at it.

I would suggest a bronc riding school, then you can decide if you want to break your neck with a saddle bronc or a bareback one
This is her, she has a YouTube channel where she discusses bronc riding

Here is a link to how hard she trains & rides. She is my horses' therapist, how I met her

I second the suggestion of attending a bronc riding school. There, you can taste both styles and see if you have a knack for one over the other.

Does your school have a rodeo team?

I rode bareback broncs myself, mostly because the equipment was less expensive.
