[@icewaterslim7260]

My dad used to say one of the most magnificent creatures on earth is a wild bucking horse that refuses any rider. Until a little POA he was working with for my sister just strolled over to a corral fence post and shoved his leg into it breaking it in enough places to have to pin it the length of the Femur. Sneaky little POA made me appreciate not riding until riding a half Thoroughbred, half Tennessee Walker Gelding that loped smooooth as a Cadillac all day long. I didn't want to put him up but my GF made me 'cause it was her dad's.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@xxibitsuxx The broncs you see are so well taken care of. They have access to the veterinary care at all times, get inspected regularly, and are fed high quality food. The only way you can have a good performance, is if the animal performs well. An injured, spooked, scared, and abused animal is not going to perform. These horses are trained and bred to do what they do.

[@SarahK293]

Awesome video! =D I like how you showed the wrecks from different angles. And you used a great song. :)

I have a friend at does bareback in the NFR it is so awesome to go see him ride

[@thegreatnoldini]

@CrimsonxTears Well... a lot of these horses aren't broken yet, and the ones that are, are trained to buck. It is bad on any other horse, but on broncs, it's alright. A lot of the horses you see people use to catch the bronc after the rider falls off are ex-saddle broncs. They turn into great horses.

[@BullRider439]

great video, used to ride bulls more till i got into saddle bronc absolutley love it

[@nemochicky4697]

BullRider439 Saddle bronco riding is way safer than bull riding I haven’t seen one bronc go after a rider after they fell

[@syyk8388]

@@nemochicky4697 no shit it’s a horse

[@thegreatnoldini]

@sigridandbilly They have a flank strap to enhance the motion of the buck. They're going to buck anyway without it, the flank strap it just put on snug on their flank to keep the motion straighter and higher. The flank strap isn't put on very tight, because if you get it too tight, they don't move. It's also made to loosen as they buck.

[@TheCountryhorses]

very good! these images serve as inspiration for my paintings! muito bom! estas imagens servem de inspiração para minhas pinturas! (Brasil arts)

can you imagine when these dudes are 60 .....the joint pain

[@manuelmartin8890]

It happens way before 60 they only rodeo on average till about 30 to 35 years old because of phyisical health issues. I no guys that didnt ride bulls or horse butt timed event guys that had totanium hips broken and missing fingers from ropeing .its a very fun addicting life but it comes at a cost

[@thegreatnoldini]

@queenluciaa For one, we only use a cattle prod when the horse is stalled in the chute and won't leave, because it's much more dangerous for the animal, and the rider to be bucking in the chute when they get too excited. The animals have to be well taken care of and treated well in order for them to perform. They are as much athletes as we are. If they can't perform, neither can we. We're dependant on each other. Horses cost a lot of money, especially Rodeo horses!

[@thegreatnoldini]

@queenluciaa That depends on which cattle prods you buy. The ones we used are designed for moving horses and cattle around through chutes, and they do NOT hurt. I've been shocked by them. I highly doubt you have any experience with horses. Most broncs become really good horses once they're done competing in the rodeo circuit. If the horse was untrusting, then he probably wasn't a good bronc and was sold to someone who had the time to take care of him. I find no fault in this.

[@jaredschroeder4431]

Mostly its a committee that votes in the stock. Riders mainly vote for stock of the year and such,

[@terry11905]

Try riding a mare in heat ;)

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist The "maker of the hotshot" says not to use it to lead horses around, like you would in a pen. It says nothing about using it on a horse that's stalled in a bucking chute. However, most people won't even use the hotshots anyway. They don't like to. A horse's hide is three times thicker, meaning they don't feel the shock as bad as you or me would, and even I say it doesn't hurt because I've been shocked by one before.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Yes, that horse was bred to buck. However, horses are skiddish animals. So yeah, they'll get excited and they'll jump around in the chute a bit. All young horses will act a bit skiddish, whether they're bucking horses or not.

[@BaldDogM71]

How many 20 mile circles have you ridden a horseback gathering cows,how many elk have you packed out with your horses out of the mountains

[@86NapoleonDynamite]

" Big Badass Bodacious, will take a big hunk outa your pride!!!"

[@thegreatnoldini]

@xxibitsuxx A standard cattle prod, or "hotshot" only lets out around 5,000 volts. A standard police tazer lets out 11,000 to 50,000. To give you an idea of the difference. 5,000 volts doesn't hurt too bad. I've been shocked by it. A horse's hide is 3 times thicker than human skin, and a bull's hide is 7 times thicker. So they don't feel nearly as much shock from it as we would. It's just a signal to get moving. Experience with animals doesn't lie, bud.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Wrong. Saddle bronc riding evolved out of breaking horses in the hard way. Now they are just trained to buck and you have to spur the horse and make it look cool. They're not going to be broken in, and the horses aren't in pain or anything while they are bucking saddle bronc or bareback riders off.

[@PotterYouRotter7]

@CrimsonxTears im an english rider too. ya you dont want to be bucked off, but dont be terrified at the idea or you will definetly have a bigger chance on falling off. and its not as if you cant get back on if you fall.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Well an electric shock, no matter how high the voltage is, is going to cause a reaction. Duh. Rodeo's aren't run by big mega corporations either. Rodeo isn't a business anybody gets rich doing. Stock contractors, contestants, and rodeo companies alike don't make all that much money. It's just something they like to do. Yes, these horses do like what they do. Not all of them do, but most of them do. The ones that don't are usually sent off to other places.

[@AnimalLeftist]

@Alexandros1294 , that's the whole point behind saddle broncs, genius.

[@swiftnshift]

The horses mouth is open. Horses mouths open, watch some videos, when they pull on the bit their mouths open. Horses putting every last bit of energy into something will open their mouths

[@prestonshaw5391]

A lot of these are just buckoffs, not wrecks

[@STONERSTER420]

lol these are some crazy rides

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist It isn't. PRCA Rules and Guidelines state that it can only be used when a horse or a bull stalls in the chute. You get fined a few thousand dollars for hot shotting them when they don't stall. You can also only use it on the hip or shoulder area.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Like I said, colts are skiddish, so yes, occasionally they will rear up or kick in the chutes. The horses in my sport are well taken care of, and become famous. Grated Coconut, a famous Calgary Bucking horses had a fucking gold plated halter they made for it and led her around with. She just sits on a pasture and eats now, and they're still breeding colts out of her. She's treated like royalty.

[@sitdwnandhngon]

Amen, screw that bull turning around and trying to kill you. The horse just wants to get his ass out of the arena.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist I've only had one concussion, and my brain still operates at 100% capacity. I'll be fine. We don't torment these horses. Why the hell would I want to? When I'm getting on, I want a horse to be calm, collected, and at ease with everything. How is that possible if we are tormenting them? Once that gate opens, the horse knows its job, and he/she does it and everyone goes along their merry way.

[@Taterporter]

This is what I'm gonna do next year then I'm gonna move up to bulls

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Yes, these horses are domesticated, but they are far from being broke and tame. Very few of these horses are broken in or tamed. I'd love to see you try and put a halter on most bucking horses around here. They'd jump and kick at you as soon as you got within 3 feet of them. If you were out in a field, they'd probably just run from you. They aren't tame at all. They act just like wild horses do.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@xxibitsuxx Actually, most shark videos are doctored. It's not safe to sit there and excite a horse in the chute while you're waiting to get on. They're skiddish animals, and you don't want them flipping over in the chute on you because they get too excited. The animals only get the hot shot when an animal has stalled in the chute. THESE ARE THE RULES. You get fined if they are used otherwise.

[@AnimalLeftist]

@Alexandros1294, then why is it now ruled illegal?

[@arapahosundancer]

who is the band!

[@AnimalLeftist]

"My first colt that I was supposed to ride got a little too excited in the chute and flipped over, so we had to turn him loose to keep him from hurting himself." Another horsie that was bred to do his job? Maybe if you stopped landing on your head, you'd understand compassion. Grow up, child.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Well the reason rodeo exists is because we don't think that these buckers are crap horses. We give them a life they enjoy and a chance to do what they instinctively want to do. The horses are just fine, and they aren't tormented. We all respect these animals because it's how we make our living. If a horse isn't treated well, it doesn't perform well. That's simple logic. It's in our best interests to make sure these animals are well taken care of.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist I put other places because there wasn't enough room to type. Yes, some go off to slaughter if they don't buck that well. That's usually where they would go even if they weren't put in rodeos. People don't want to deal with horses that are just going to buck all of the time. However, some bucking horses actually end up making really good pick up horses, cutting horses, or even barrel racing horses sometimes. I've seen it all before.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@queenluciaa We're not tormenting animals. They love this job.

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist I want it for myself, and for the horse. I don't like being around scared horses, and when a horse is scared, I do my best to calm it down in the chute. I have never tormented a horse, and I will never be guilty of doing such a thing. Quit assuming things, and go back to eating your vegetables. Leave us alone and let us live the way we want to, and we'll leave you alone.

[@Tdodge017]

Whats the song

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Yes doctored. SHARK can show a video of a nasty looking crash, and show a horse falling down, and then they cut it off. They forget to show the part where the horse gets up and walks away just fine and like nothing ever happened at all. I was at a few of the rodeos SHARK has recorded and none of those "disasters" even happened. The crashes were bad looking, but the horses were fine. Very rarely do horses ever get injured or die in rodeos. Stawberry Fudge was one of those though.

[@cookiepony]

go horses GO!

[@cowgirlup397]

@TheSoutherncracker I agree!!!

[@nickyspace]

where did you get these videos from?

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Do I look like the kind of person that cares what's cool and what's not? Of course not. They have a gaping mouth because they have to breath while working as well. Horses that run, will breath with their mouth open occasionally. Horses that do anything will keep their mouth open while working. They have to breath like any other living being.

[@howlingwalnut]

OK guys, which is the most difficult to stay on, broncs or bulls?

[@AnimalLeftist]

@Alexandros1294 , trained to be tormented. Kudos!

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist A horse that is tormented is not going to do any job, period. A tormented horse wouldn't even let people near it. These bucking horses typically don't mind having people around them in a chute at all, unless they're colts, and they all get used to it. If they didn't like what they do, they'd be gone, because we have no use for a horse that doesn't want to do its job.

[@brunoaparecido9208]

de que banda é essa música ???

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Actually, we can all ride horses. We can ride them as bucking horses with rodeo styles, and we can ride them normally as well. Do you know anything about horsemanship?

[@clchorsebroker]

This is to Keegan, you need to educate yourself, Most rodeo's pride themselves on the care of there stock and if they didn't care or were abused the animals won't preform. Also it is very natural for a horse to open his mouth during bucking its called Belorring,. Horse do it in the wild when they are getting away from another stallion or a mare will buck and do it when she does not want to be bred. To an outsider not born into this world you think your right but walk a mile in a ranchers shoes

[@BaldDogM71]

I agree with you on that

[@codyveitenheimer]

man those are some rank horses. And ya alot of these horses wont even buck unless u spur em good i was at a camp and there was a saddle horse who the contractor uses for bucking and the ppl who spurred got it buck good and those who didn't just got a fast loping horse around the arena. And every stock contractor ive ever been with had very strong and healthy bulls and horses.. yes there are the rotten contractors who give the sport a bad name but most take great care of their stock.

[@SarahK293]

Tear Away by Drowning Pool

[@cowgirlup397]

For the record, you should check your facts. The horses are cross bred with percherons, so they are big boned and very tough animals. Also, the PRCA releases an injury report after every rodeo. Also, those animals are athletes. They are well-bred, well cared for, and treated well. I have yet to see a rodeo animal that is skin and bones, or is timid and scarred from abuse. Seriously, learn your shit before you use opinion as fact.

[@cowgirlup397]

@rockhoppin Rodeo is not abuse. It's obvious to everyone that you have not been behind the chutes. Cowboys and cowgirls take pride in their animals, and care for them better than themselves. I don't know what rodeos you are going too, that is assuming you even attend rodeos.

[@AnimalLeftist]

@Alexandros1294 , as long as you're riding them, I guess. Never knowing if you will torment them must be such fun for them to anticipate

[@Blacktied1]

The bull riders are crazy..this seems more logical.

[@laurenmcneil5080]

I think it’s stupid that they have spurs on, they obviously can’t control where their legs go so some are jabbing them very hard with the spurs it’s stupid

[@pitgroove.37_66]

It clearly sounds to me like you don't know anything about the sport of bronc riding at all, especially regarding the BASIC EQUIPMENT used in rodeos. You need to realize that all spurs actually do serve a purpose whether they are rodeo spurs or even everyday riding spurs. In regards to both bareback and saddle bronc spurs, they help the rider gain better contact with the animal and they provide some grip for the rider. Many bucking horses actually buck harder and perform better when riders use spurs. The rowels on bronc riding spurs are round, dull, and allow for a faster movement from rigging/saddle to front of shoulder. They are not designed to hurt the animal nor do they. They are designed to help the rider’s feet move faster, create closer contact, and help the animal perform to the best of their ability.

[@cowgirlup397]

@rockhoppin ALSO!!! I have yet to meet a man strong enough to force one of the animals to do anything. If you haven't noticed, they are a helluva lot bigger and stronger than humans. Believe me, if they didn't want to do something, they wouldn't. I ride with spurs because nagging an animal in my opinion is cruel. Flank straps are only used to ENHANCE performance, not create it.

[@tjkiller6407]

No that is not the reason there is no prod there is a strap around their back legs

[@thegreatnoldini]

@AnimalLeftist Well no one said rodeo was horsemanship at its best. However, rodeo is a sport and it's entertainment for millions of people, and so it doesn't have to be horsemanship at it's best. These are horses that people didn't have the time or the desire to break in, so they give them to us so that we can ride them in rodeos. Quit believing everything you read on the internet or that SHARK tells you. They have alterior motives.

[@AnimalLeftist]

Don't ya just love it.. A new word from rodeo-fantasy land!! "Belorring". Yes, folks, horses belorr all the time. I am walking miles and miles, from a farm in Ontario. It is very unnatural for a horse to be forced to buck against a flank strap. Period.

[@pitgroove.37_66]

The flank strap does not hurt them at all! It's covered in fleece/sheepskin, and all it does is encourage the horse to Buck higher!!!

[@ResidualConfusion]

@AnimalLeftist Do your equine anatomy homework. A horse is anatomically incapable of breathing through its mouth. It can breathe only through its nostrils. If the nostrils close, such as may happen after a rattlesnake bite, the horse may suffocate without immediate human intervention. The idea that a bronc "gapes" for breath is, sorry, just plain unrealistic and silly.

[@sterlingbither5866]

they gape because there bawling because there trying as hard as they can to buck off the cowboy

[@AnimalLeftist]

roflmao... You really don't get it, do you. I feel sorry for your brain. I KNOW horses don't breathe through their mouths, you blithering idiot... ONLY broncs gape their mouths when they're (cough) "performing. Why is that? Never mind, you're too far gone with your rodeo blindness/deafness.

[@ResidualConfusion]

Your own ignorance is showing. I'm not sure if you don't know it or if you're just so proud of it you just can't keep it to yourself. Either way, have a great life.

[@AnimalLeftist]

ResidualConfusion , wow, your user name is truly apt. BTW? I've asked hundreds of rodeo lovers like you WHY the broncs gape their mouths. The only answers I get are complete BS, but my own personal favourite is "Effort". Funny, huh? Not a single equestrian sport on this planet sees the horses mouths gape this way. Ignorance is rampant in the rodeo industry, so thanks for continually proving my point for me :) Horses that bawl aren't enjoying themselves. They are trying hard to remove the flank, not the contestant. Broncs continue bucking until the flank is removed. (Just so you know.)

[@sterlingbither5866]

AnimalLeftist because the flank strap feels like when someone is tickling your feet thats why they still crow hop when its on

[@AnimalLeftist]

You don't get it. Never mind. Ask a vet, but not a rodeo vet, as they are only there for the show.

[@cowgirlup397]

@sigridandbilly Nobody finds the animals falling or slipping or cowboys/ cowgirls funny or entertaining. The entertainment and fun come from the thrill of seeing a good ride, and watching the riders and animals challenge themselves.

[@cowgirlup397]

@rockhoppin LEARN TO READ!!!!! I mentioned in my previous post that the animals are not timid either. I have been behind the chutes... have you?! I don't think so. An abused animal would be severly aggressive, or extrememly scared. I have worked with horses and other farm animals my entire life. I train horses... I KNOW what an abused animal looks like and acts like. I have yet to go to a rodeo where I see an animal who shows even the slightest sign of being abused.
