I've been to several rodeos...I personally think it's abuse to not just the horses, but all the animals. I'm not trying to start conflict by any means, but English riding is a lot more cared for. The horses don't have brands or scars in the shows. Western horses aren't cared for as well. I work at 2 barns: One Western, and one English...So does a friend of mine. We both prefer English. Tho Western is heartbreaking, racing horses is by far the worst abuse :(
@Mrs4hooves actually it is against the rules to spike your spurrs and their is a big dine for it as well as having your spurrs turnedin past 20 degrees and btw if you think that they are kept in flooded pastures you should see where the wild mustangs are kept in pens by the Govt so that they can die when knowone wants to adopt them and the horses are bred to do this it isnt by happen chance
SOME PEOPLE R SOOO CRULE AND ABUSIVE to these horses at the rodio i was at one even though i do english and they tazed a horse for NOT bucking it was soo sad c thats y i do english and show jumping!
@Mrs4hooves Oh for gods sake... some of these horses have it better than the ones that are abusively ridden everyday. Some are left in stalls day after day without proper exercise, food or care. A lot of these rodeo horses spend their off season time on a pasture where they live like horses should live. They should be in herds in a wide open space. That is their nature. Why do you think you find them living like that in the wild?
wow i think some horses should be free like having to have people on your back that would be a lot of work for a horse or for draft horses...etc having to pull all that weight i think they would be better in the wild because my friend let hers free and to this very day it is still alive in the wild and she visits him to he is much more happier in the wild where he can feed himself and run for hours and still see his owner when she visits him
actually, in the wild it would probably starve or thirst. Its better off being with people. There was a person who tooke his horse out and let it go, becuase he thought it would be better if he let his horse free, well his horse was found, and it was really skiny and it was almost dead.
@kyleekowgirl Oh dear, that is the most pathetic excuse I have heard. You do reliase horses are from the wild? That's where they have lived for centuries and are still living today, better kept infact than if they were with us. We've provided horses with diseases/disorders, stable vices,etc- none of that occurs in the wild. Now, everyone knows not to set a horse free back into the wild, that man was an idiot. I don't think you relize how much pain these horses go through. Think before you speak.
@kyleekowgirl And from that I mean straight back into the wild, if he cared so much about that horse he would of taken it to a rescue centre. Also - that's a one off case, horses legs have broke due to them falling in a field, what do you expect every horse that has ever lived on a field or grass plane to go through the traumatic experience of becoming a 'rodeo horse' where they scare them so much they do it through fear just because one horse got hurt. DICK.
@queenluciaa Yeah this horse would really be better off in the wild, wouldnt it? where it can starve and die. Well whatever. Im not arguing with people about this. Im not wasting my time. If you dont like rodeo and you think its abuse then fine. Every one has a different opinion.
Starve and die? The only times thes e horses will perrish in the wild is from predatory animals, or the notorious BLM. There is no shortage of food in the wild, yet Cattle Farmers decide that cows are more important than American Heritage. And don't give me any BS that Rodeo is a tradition, its sn idiotic event created by a bunch of drunks and bums.
@queenluciaa Hahaha alrighty. You think you know so much about horses. How old are you? 12? I know a whole lot more about rodeo then you, obviously. Im not fighting with you. Its really stupid and immature to argue with someone you dont even know. I dont argue with stupid little immature brats who think they know everything. Maybe you like to argue with people, but i have a life. So yeah, Goodnight.
Thanks for your estimate, but I recently turned 21. In my spare time I volunteer at a local animal rehibilitation center. Every year we have about 3 dozen rodeo horses come in, with pshycoligical problems. Most of them where 'retired' bucking horses, that where so deathly afraid of people they would lie down and give up. Hoping someone wouldn't hurt them. Every single time this shocks me, because horses are flight animals. And none of them even seemed to want to even get up.
@queenluciaa actually its not because they are so afraid its because horses will give up because its a natural instinct they have so that if they are attacked by a predator they Sull otherwise known as goinginto another place that will make them not have to feel a mountain lion tearing them up and you are right they are flight animals so no it didnt get u because it went into a flight mode but your probably a liberal and wouldnt know that....
So I geuss Liberals are limited to knowledge of horses? Your argument is pathetic, not only because you type like a 5th Grader, because you have absolutely no Idea what your talking about.
@kyleekowgirl thats because of over the years people have made horses domesticated just like dogs and cats. its like having a cages bird with clipped wings out in the jungle. in this horses case. it was probly bred from somebodys back yard with and old ass mare and the stupid owner decided to sell him, because people who care wont sell there horses to a rodeo. after all his bucking jobs he will be sent to slaughter, new homes, a sale, or just put down. its a sad cycle.
omg there was obviously something wrong with that horse, otherwise it would not have bucked so many times. i agree with 'SarabiMoonlight' those horses should not be used for this kind of 'sport'
What would you prefer theses horses having a job and being looked after to do that job or running about in the wild fending for themselves. Life isn't a box of chocolates you know. They wear a bucking strap to make them buck. Bucking is a perfectly natural thing for a horse to do. Keep on hugging the trees!
to tell u the truth they mostly eat the two easyest things to find in the wild grass that grows everywere and if there in a good area warter its way beter than this
those poor horses that deserve to run wild in the open are treated like this with morons getting on their backs just to see how long they can stay on. those people should be ashamed
just to put this out there...these are not wild born horses..humas ( stock contrators ) raise them on their land so the are not "born to run wild" they are "born to buck"!!
I just feel bad for the horses they use... Why must they have the reem or what they name is on their stomack ? Im from sweden so I cant spell all the names :P
its called a bucking strap lol and its not as bad as it looks they are aligned with fleece so it doesnt hurt the horse as much as it would just plain leather
but when their a bucking horse like that for a long time some of them learn that the goal is to get the human off and then theyre never going to be able to be regular riding horses when they get older.
horse meat isnt in glue. their hooves are. people eat horse meat in other countries yes. and no, it has never been used in dog food. way to expensive.
i dont know what dog food your dog is eating but its not what we sell here. horse meat is a luxury(spell?) and horses cost more than cattle by the pound.
um...rabbits? i dont think so. but cows, chicken, and pigs yes. maybe sheep. not horses. though old roy uses horse meat in their dog biscuits(spell?). but other than that horse meat isnt used
hum..i knew cat food had chicken and fish. never hear of rabbit. thats kinda cool. thats cool she was saved. horses that are..or were slaughtered here were used for human consumption overseas. but stupid PETA and anti-slaughter activists got bush to ban horse slaughter in the USA. so ALL the horses got shipped to mexico(treated like shit and horrible death) and canada. bad move on their part.
i dont think it should be banned. it should be painless and they should be treated nicer. like humane slaughter. but it should be banned in mexico. those poor horses. i just wanna save all those mexian horses and the horses sent there
yea that would happen. thats y i am for it. but thats the only reason. i really wished it was more humane though. but i also love when people rescue slaughter bound horses. alot of them turn out to be amazing riding horses
A horse that is untrained and not worked with will buck if you put a girth on it. Of course, there are some horses that choose not to buck with a girth on, and some horses that don't buck with a flank strap, so they can't be used as broncos.
how do ppl not realise tht theyre not just buking cuz thur "wild" nd want the rider off its obv cuza the flank strap wich still hurts the poor horse afta the riders off cuz he was still bucking :(
It isn't 'rested,' it's strapped, like a girth or a cinch. A wild horse will buck if you put a cinch on it, so it will definitely buck if you but a cinch around it's flank, where it is very sensitive.
If you think putting a flank strap on a horse is cruel, then you would have to say that putting a saddle and cinch on a horse is cruel also.
exactly mi point the flank is very sensative so if they put a tight strap around its flank its guna hurt
shuld i mention the fact tht i ryd bareback alot nd hav only riden in a sadle once in the past 3 months so idc tht u think the strap is lyk a girth or cinch
Yes, any horse sport is for entertainment, i.e., barrel racing, showjumping, etc. Just because the flank is a sensitive part of the body doesn't make it hurt to have it touched. The horse's nose is also a sensitive spot and it doesn't hurt the horse to have a noseband strapped there. The same goes for a flank strap.
I also usually ride bareback and bridleless, but that doesn't change the fact that a flank strap is like a cinch. The horse isn't in pain.
yes but most horse enjoy the sport there used for these horse obv dont most them arnt even truly 'wild' theve just been tourcherd and sent insane and a nose band doesnt put presure on the nose
The horses are never torchered, they are untrained. An unbroken horse will buck when it feels the pressure of the girth for the first time, as it will with a flank strap. Some horses don't buck with it and can't be used as broncos.
And with the noseband thing, I mean like a hackamore noseband (that's what I use). You know what that is, right? It puts pressure on the nose instead of using a bit, but it doesn't hurt the horse.
I'm not saying that they only use them once. The broncos are only used as long as they buck, because most will stop bucking after a few times. They will also stop using a bronco if it bucks too dangerously.
Right, so you think that a hackamore is 'relatively harsh.' A bit in your eyes is probably animal abuse, isn't it? And that's not even the point. The hackamore is not a harsh instrument if you don't pull the horses face around with it. A flank strap is NOT abuse.
the horses are not untrained. they are trained to buck like that. they only buck to try to get the flank strap off. you can actually sit on the back of some of those horses and walk around.
As I've TOLD you, I'm not arguing the point because I think that the horse is enjoying himself. Riding broncos isn't nice. My point, however, is that although it isn't nice or necessary, it isn't cruel because it does not hurt the horse. Once again, I don't think it is a good thing, but it isn't animal cruelty.
Alright, whatever. I'm done arguing with you. My entire point at the beginning was that a flank strap doesn't hurt the horse. Obviously we've veered far away from where we began. You're right that a horse is changed by the environment that it lives around, but they don't need to stay that way. I've owned three ex-broncos and they were all incredible horses. But I'm getting side-tracked again. I'm done arguing. Goodbye.
ok wel i hav a horse tht was abused (with ropes btw) and its taken years 2 gain her trust she stil gets suspesous of stuf even with us after 5 years (although she has come a long way :) )
Sigh. Okay. Rodeo CAN be cruel, but a lot of these horses are extremely well cared for. Most of the rodeo injuries are ACCIDENTS. I'm sure nobody hurts these horses. On purpose anyway. Besides, the paint didn't look hurt at all!
yeah , but the horses, and oops, when something goes wrong which it does most of the cases the animal is injured at somepoint, yeah then just shoot aye? but not in fornt of the audience cuz that would ruin BUSINESS wudnt it? yeah do it secretly...
WHOA.. not all rodeos are bad.. PRCA is a sanctioned rodeo company.... they get alot of there horses from PMU farms.. which stands for Pregnant Mare Urine. which is used in many human hormone supplements these. days sooo mainly the PMU ppl just breed big draft cross mares and than just discard the babies.. so to slaughter houses or etc.... and rodeo life isnt that bad... sure the horse has to buck. but that is a natural thing.... and yes of course these horse arent as "pampered" as urs and mine
wow good horse i usually don't like paints cause most are just bread for color i've noticed alot of buckng horses are paints blacks and whites and buckskins you know the pretty horses. :D kinda funny.
paints are awesome horses not just for color my frind has a horse that is a pure paint and it does EVERYTHING english and western and they are starting vaulting
and most of those are just crossbreds that are pinto
:O Thanks omgcandy. lol I had no idea about the horses having almost a year off. I've only seen bad rodeos when the horse ends up injured or terrified. Thanks for explaining x
That's such a waste of such a beautiful horse. It could have a far better life somewhere else where it doesn't have to buck itself to harm. Poor thing :(
Actually, rodeo life isn't bad at all. In total, rodeo horses work for eight minutes a year. They get the rest of the year off, to just be groomed and loved and be horses. They're groomed very well and fed quality feed, like any athletic champion. The bucking strap, when used properly, (unlike some horrible inhumane rodeos) causes no pain. Just annoying, like the girth. :3 However, there are many inhumane rodeos out there that use tazers and whatnot. The people who run those need to go die. D:
guys, I am a total idiot when it comes to rodeo country riding like this, because I live in England. But even I know that the rope isnt hurting the horse, its just annoying it, if it was hurting it, it wouldnt buck, its a natural instint to just run away. So dont talk shit if you have no idea what you on about, you clearly no nothing abou the sport.
does anyone know how they get them to buck like that??? me do! they tie a string really tight around them...thats kind of hurting them...not exactly nice.
ok guys seriously if you dont no anything about riding then dont comment all this crap about how much it hurts them! like saddlebronc01 said it just irritats them for a bit so just shut up if you dont know any of this! i mean you didnt even no what caused him to buck!
evidently all you animal activists dont know anyhing about horses or the flank strap. if you deal with the flank strap you will know that it is only a mild irritant equilivat to a tight belt. if it was causing the horse pain the horse WOULD NOT BUCK. it is their natural instinct not to they would just stand there or else run not buck. before you gys start saying i dont know anything either ill let you know i train horses for a living i own horses and all of my animals are well taken care of..
excuse me, but have you seen what they do to the horse before the rodeocontest starts? They abuse it. And why are people so stuped that they pay alot of money just to sit and watch this crap? Poor horse.
calm down, calm down? you could watch a horse sufer like that and all you say is CALM DOWN its people like u that realy piss me off! and the reason why im watching this is to put people like u back in there place!
this is what i mean by calm down. and there's a way of talking to me nicely ya know. but posting a comment on youtube isn't gonna "put people back in their place" if you wanna make a difference, ya might wanna be a little bigger than posting comments on youtube.....
sorry if im not nice about horse abuse i dont enjoy watching horses sufer in pain im very serious about horses, there my life! and by the way i dont just post coments on you tube i do go on web-sites, i go to conventions, i do send letters to people, K? so do me a faver and STOP supporting it!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you for being nice. and i'm not supporting it!! i'm just saying, ever since horse slaughter houses were banned, horses have been overpopulating. there's too many horses and not enough people, so horses are starving cuz no one can feed them. and believe me, horses are my life, too. (do you own any btw?)
ok i feel better now that i no u dont support it, but im not so sure i agree with not every one can feed there horse cuz of over pop. cuz thats no excuse for starving ur horse, if u cant take care of any animal dont own one. And no i dont have a horse used to not any more (only cuz he was a spaz, already 8 and not broke well, hated me, reared, bucked, crohopped, spooked, old injurys, had been abused, an i was unaware of all of this when i got him!) ill be geting one within the next year, u?
HOW IS THE HORSE GETTIN HURT? the man is sittin on his back and hes got a flank strap on. Flankin a horse is kinda like ticklein a person it dont hurt.
Rodeo flank straps are painfull to horses becuase their intended to pinch the soft skin under the horses belly, its just not extremly painfull, its just like if you pinch someone
he's not the only one. you wanna make the rodeo to stop go for it. i'm not stopping you. the rodeo really doesn't bother me. try looking at cheyenne rodeo. THATS cruelty. this is not cruelty. sorry. but i know quite abit about the rodeo. if you don't like it don't watch it. i was raised with the rodeo and i'll die with it. go and stop it if you want. but you'll be sending so much bucking stock to mexico and canada please reframe from replying. Have a nice day
I cannot believe that rodeos that do that kind of stuff (i.e. hurt horses for the pleasure of people) is not illegal in the U.S. yet. I think that it is so cruel. Same with slaughterhouses. Horses are such beautiful, creatures, why should we cause them pain just because we feel like it? There is absolutely no reason. What a sick thing. I feel so shameful, embarassed, and just plain upset that the U.S. takes pride in hosting rodeos that sport this event.
even if u don't agree with me i think this is a cruel sport...forcing a horse to buck ( and yes the horses ARE forced by the bucking strap )horses aren't like people where they can go jump around its not natural to them and just imagine being forced to do that...would u be happy if you were a rodeo horse? really think about it
no what i'm saying is they're being forced to buck in an untaural way horses buck for fun but this horse is bucking really hard trying to escape the painful bucking starp
BTW show jumping is different bc if a horse really and truly didn't want to jump believe me it wouldn't and some horses actually LOVE to jump and do show jumping and cross country
I jump and my horse loves it. Why wouldn't a horse love to buck? If they really truely didn't want to buck they wouldn't. Nothing we have, except weapons, can force a 100lb animal to do anything that it truely does not want to. Now I withdraw with all of my dignity here, good bye
I've been to several rodeos...I personally think it's abuse to not just the horses, but all the animals. I'm not trying to start conflict by any means, but English riding is a lot more cared for. The horses don't have brands or scars in the shows. Western horses aren't cared for as well. I work at 2 barns: One Western, and one English...So does a friend of mine. We both prefer English.

btw dont wory about the spelin :)
elliexena 2 years ago
hum..i knew cat food had chicken and fish. never hear of rabbit. thats kinda cool. thats cool she was saved. horses that are..or were slaughtered here were used for human consumption overseas. but stupid PETA and anti-slaughter activists got bush to ban horse slaughter in the USA. so ALL the horses got shipped to mexico(treated like shit and horrible death) and canada. bad move on their part.

people say its the same as a girth.. obviosly not... horses dont buck like that with a girth strap that doesn't hurt them
Agilitypoodle385 2 years ago
my point exactly :)
elliexena 2 years ago
A horse that is untrained and not worked with will buck if you put a girth on it. Of course, there are some horses that choose not to buck with a girth on, and some horses that don't buck with a flank strap, so they can't be used as broncos.

elliexena 2 years ago
It doesn't hurt, it just is rested on the flank, encouraging the horse to buck.
Lexi5Alive 2 years ago
thts a lie cuz i can rest /tie a rope round thur on mi horses nd they wont buck
u hav no idea wht they do 2 the poor ponys do u ?
electric shocks ect
:( these ppl deserve wateva injerys they get
elliexena 2 years ago
It isn't 'rested,' it's strapped, like a girth or a cinch. A wild horse will buck if you put a cinch on it, so it will definitely buck if you but a cinch around it's flank, where it is very sensitive.
If you think putting a flank strap on a horse is cruel, then you would have to say that putting a saddle and cinch on a horse is cruel also.
Lexi5Alive 2 years ago
it is cruel its done for pure human entertainment
exactly mi point the flank is very sensative so if they put a tight strap around its flank its guna hurt
shuld i mention the fact tht i ryd bareback alot nd hav only riden in a sadle once in the past 3 months so idc tht u think the strap is lyk a girth or cinch
u can tel the horse isnt thriled to be there
elliexena 2 years ago
Yes, any horse sport is for entertainment, i.e., barrel racing, showjumping, etc. Just because the flank is a sensitive part of the body doesn't make it hurt to have it touched. The horse's nose is also a sensitive spot and it doesn't hurt the horse to have a noseband strapped there. The same goes for a flank strap.
I also usually ride bareback and bridleless, but that doesn't change the fact that a flank strap is like a cinch. The horse isn't in pain.
Lexi5Alive 2 years ago
yes but most horse enjoy the sport there used for these horse obv dont most them arnt even truly 'wild' theve just been tourcherd and sent insane and a nose band doesnt put presure on the nose
elliexena 2 years ago
The horses are never torchered, they are untrained. An unbroken horse will buck when it feels the pressure of the girth for the first time, as it will with a flank strap. Some horses don't buck with it and can't be used as broncos.
And with the noseband thing, I mean like a hackamore noseband (that's what I use). You know what that is, right? It puts pressure on the nose instead of using a bit, but it doesn't hurt the horse.
Lexi5Alive 2 years ago
yeh but u cant say they wil only use the horses once
hackamore has a lever action it doesnt hav a bit but stil relativly harsh
elliexena 2 years ago
I'm not saying that they only use them once. The broncos are only used as long as they buck, because most will stop bucking after a few times. They will also stop using a bronco if it bucks too dangerously.
Right, so you think that a hackamore is 'relatively harsh.' A bit in your eyes is probably animal abuse, isn't it? And that's not even the point. The hackamore is not a harsh instrument if you don't pull the horses face around with it. A flank strap is NOT abuse.
Lexi5Alive 2 years ago
im not saying a bit of hackamore is abuse in the right hands but a hackamore is strong form of 'control'
also a hackamore is stronger than most snafles
elliexena 2 years ago
the horses are not untrained. they are trained to buck like that. they only buck to try to get the flank strap off. you can actually sit on the back of some of those horses and walk around.
3Barrels6Poles 2 years ago
Great
Lexi5Alive 2 years ago
As I've TOLD you, I'm not arguing the point because I think that the horse is enjoying himself. Riding broncos isn't nice. My point, however, is that although it isn't nice or necessary, it isn't cruel because it does not hurt the horse. Once again, I don't think it is a good thing, but it isn't animal cruelty.
Lexi5Alive 2 years ago
it doesnt always physicly hurt the horse bt it takes its tole on the mental/emotional side of things
elliexena 2 years ago
Alright, whatever. I'm done arguing with you. My entire point at the beginning was that a flank strap doesn't hurt the horse. Obviously we've veered far away from where we began. You're right that a horse is changed by the environment that it lives around, but they don't need to stay that way. I've owned three ex-broncos and they were all incredible horses. But I'm getting side-tracked again. I'm done arguing. Goodbye.

ok wel i hav a horse tht was abused (with ropes btw) and its taken years 2 gain her trust she stil gets suspesous of stuf even with us after 5 years (although she has come a long way :) )

think about it from a horses point of view
hes firstly shoved in2 a tight space wich is a prey animals bigest fear
then
hes sudenly puled out in 2 a new enviroment he duznt know in front of heaps of screaming people
has a rope tighed round his flank
people are yeling al around him
some strange person jumps on his back al before the gate opens
but most of all hes alone and scared
this isnt exactly his idea of a good day is it?

WHOA.. not all rodeos are bad.. PRCA is a sanctioned rodeo company.... they get alot of there horses from PMU farms.. which stands for Pregnant Mare Urine. which is used in many human hormone supplements these. days sooo mainly the PMU ppl just breed big draft cross mares and than just discard the babies.. so to slaughter houses or etc.... and rodeo life isnt that bad... sure the horse has to buck. but that is a natural thing.... and yes of course these horse arent as "pampered" as urs and mine

IrishGoldLover 3 years ago
Actually, rodeo life isn't bad at all. In total, rodeo horses work for eight minutes a year. They get the rest of the year off, to just be groomed and loved and be horses. They're groomed very well and fed quality feed, like any athletic champion. The bucking strap, when used properly, (unlike some horrible inhumane rodeos) causes no pain. Just annoying, like the girth. :3 However, there are many inhumane rodeos out there that use tazers and whatnot. The people who run those need to go die. D:

guys, I am a total idiot when it comes to rodeo country riding like this, because I live in England. But even I know that the rope isnt hurting the horse, its just annoying it, if it was hurting it, it wouldnt buck, its a natural instint to just run away. So dont talk shit if you have no idea what you on about, you clearly no nothing abou the sport.

evidently all you animal activists dont know anyhing about horses or the flank strap. if you deal with the flank strap you will know that it is only a mild irritant equilivat to a tight belt. if it was causing the horse pain the horse WOULD NOT BUCK. it is their natural instinct not to they would just stand there or else run not buck. before you gys start saying i dont know anything either ill let you know i train horses for a living i own horses and all of my animals are well taken care of..

horsefan121 3 years ago
thank you for being nice. and i'm not supporting it!! i'm just saying, ever since horse slaughter houses were banned, horses have been overpopulating. there's too many horses and not enough people, so horses are starving cuz no one can feed them. and believe me, horses are my life, too. (do you own any btw?)
kjm1017 3 years ago 2
ok i feel better now that i no u dont support it, but im not so sure i agree with not every one can feed there horse cuz of over pop. cuz thats no excuse for starving ur horse, if u cant take care of any animal dont own one. And no i dont have a horse used to not any more (only cuz he was a spaz, already 8 and not broke well, hated me, reared, bucked, crohopped, spooked, old injurys, had been abused, an i was unaware of all of this when i got him!) ill be geting one within the next year, u?

I cannot believe that rodeos that do that kind of stuff (i.e. hurt horses for the pleasure of people) is not illegal in the U.S. yet. I think that it is so cruel. Same with slaughterhouses. Horses are such beautiful, creatures, why should we cause them pain just because we feel like it? There is absolutely no reason. What a sick thing. I feel so shameful, embarassed, and just plain upset that the U.S. takes pride in hosting rodeos that sport this event.
