its not animal abuse. Mr. animal abuse announcer... horses are obviously not doing anything sooooooooo they do have a choice whether to buck or not lmao!!!!!!! hearing you speak makes me realize how stupid you people are.. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!! :) thank you
Daisnerose02 FUCK YOU!! I don't care if you work for a HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR RANCH AT LEAST I HAVE A BRAIN THAT CAN SEE WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG!! AND I KNOW A LOT MORE THEN YOU'LL EVER DREAM OF SO ONCE AGIAN FUCK YOU!! BITCH!!
Excuse me but whatever disdaniro or whatever u are screw you!!! Fuck your million dollar ranch!! I NO A LOT MORE THEN YOU'LL EVER DREAM OF! And for starters you are WRONG!!!!! So go FUCK yourself!!!
It is so sad, that there are still people who are able to hurt or even kill animals just for fun or any other dump reason. Have you heard from the dogs, which were killed because of the soccer/football EM in 2012? Dogs are killed just because there are so many wild ones and they are scared that they could bite the guests, eventhough they're mostly peaceful... just so sad
I agree with this video, if these guys want to play dress up and pretend to be a cowboy that's fine. But as far as what they do with the horses to try to get them to buck isn't right. I remember going to rodeo's when I was a kid, and I never realized what abuse these animals go through until I watched these shark videos.
@dsisneros02 With your attitude toward animal suffering, either you need to be fired or the cattle operation that allows your kind to be around animals needs to be investigated.
@dsisneros02, with that attitude, and your age, I do fear for any animals you are near. As a person with an education, I am always open to learning. You should be too. But hey, you know EVERYTHING. Yeah, uh-huh... Maybe you should ask your daddy..
@dsisneros02, and on your million acre ranch, you are so close to what's really happening in the world? I don't think so. That ranch is an anachronism. But hey, stay in the 1800's! When a ranch is that obscenely wealthy, you really don't need to evolve. Sort of like the USA itself, in a way.
I used to know a 'cowgirl' she was very mean, but still I always thought she cared for her horses until one day I saw her slap one of them, i thought nothing of it. Now I think back and realize, she probably did that often and probably still does.... also, it probably rubbed of on her regular life. she was even mean with me.
@MyPets1031 Just because people hide behind that silly name cowboy/cowgirl, does not mean they automatically are some phenomenal caretaker of animals. Our rodeo videos prove just the opposite.
wow and just think i wanted to be a rodeo cowgirl!! That will NEVER happen as long as this is going on!! i would rather be a Horse trainer or a vet to HELP animals and not hurt them!! thank you for raising the awerness so i don't become a cruel rodeo person!!
Yeah. I so believe animals we tamed 4,000 years ago have suddenly been bred to buck crazily and throw people off. Don't you idiots know that genetics make a horse buck more then others?
Sure. HOw would oyu like someone poking you in the neck with an electric prod and calling it entertainment when you twist and kick around.
I read a couple comments, people saying "These animals are bred to buck" What breed is that exactally? TB's are bred to race, Arabians for endurance, but this comes naturally to these horses. I would love to see any horse in a rodeo that was "Bred to buck" go out of the shoot without a flank strap or being zaped or forced in some way shape or form. Horses are gentle by nature, not "bred to buck" as some people say. Yes, horses buck sometimes. Thats a given. But not like in rodeos
This ved is crap... i ride bulls and broncs.... PRCA rodeos very rarely use hot shots on bulls and even less on horses... RMPRA rodeos are the same way.... if you sat down and watched the PBR you would see that those bulls love what they do and pride themselves at bucking the rider off... and FYI i have been zaped with a hot shot and it kinda tickled.... a bull or horse is 10-15 times my size... so it cant do more then it does to me...
@bullriderludlow Deny and excuse the abuse all you want. The videos show what they show, animals tormented, injured and killed for vanity and prizes. Not something to be proud of.
@bullriderludlow Why would they enjoy it? You guys spur them to keep grip instead of knowing how to ride and using your thigh to grip your seat. Also they get bucking straps at there flanks which makes them buck! You think they enjoy it?! BTW I think you have been zapped so many times that u don't relize what REALLY happens at rodeos. I mena come on do you know what they do to the horses after and before bucking? Seriously GET A SOUL!
Its people like u that make me sick ima bronc rider and you know what these horses are bred to buck. Why dont you show any videos of the horses that do buck? You people are retarded and need to just stfu!
@wastockdale We're happy to know we make animal abuse supporters sick. It means we've uncovered your truth. If your conscience was clear, our work wouldn't bother or sicken you so much.
@wastockdale, please, give me a break. A "bronc" rider? Take off the flank straps, and show me these horses bucking, because they were "bred" to. So sad, that you believe this crap. Maybe too many blows to the head dulls your sensibilities.
@RunninQHsRock I'm sorry but didn't the cowboys pioneer America? Or at least last time I checked. Rodeo is not going anywhere anytime soon. You see the reaction in the arena when they jump, kick and what not. Yes, even through a fit in the chutes, that happens daily whether it be in the arena or like my 11 year old saddle horse (no she does not buck in the arena) through a fit at the vets office. She was in the trailer still. No shocking or anything when I loaded her, jst walked her in.
@25mtcowboy The pioneers pioneered America, not cowboys. They only came into existence after the larger ranches were established. Please, get an American history education.
spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam its all lies spurs on bucking horses dont hurt they move all the way around and r not sharp they cant hurt!!! this is crap!!they r treated well and the flank strap ENCOURAGES bucking not makes them buck most stock contracters train there horses to buck soo shut up
This makes me ashamed when ppl call me a cowgirl or rodeo girl. I barrel race, pole bend, and speed and quads, but if you see how unhealthy the calfs are and how little goats are, it makes me sick. And this, this is just worng.
@mollyisthebest09 and that is kinder? they don't buck, they run in terror and crash. Again it comes down to the bucking strap. Wonder if anyone considered "training" a horse to buck. The horse bucking as a job that they understand and are rewarded for doing! No fear, pain or confusion. hmm....
i agree with charlie rodeo has been around longer then any of you have been alive. i rodeo i help at rodeos and them horses arnt hurting. good lord you people need to get your facts straight before you run you mouths!
Actually this is cruelty, these horses have straps tightened on their sheaths which will hurt and make them rodeo, would you like to have straps that rub you cinched around your body? Would you like to be beaten and abused if you refused to rodeo? I'm sure you wouldn't this should be banned and to be honest I couldn't care less if this is tradition or not it is sick.
okay seriously... yall are makin ALL rodeos/competitiors look like shit. and fuck u for sayin not to go. there are great rodeos out there that dont treat their animals like this. rodeo is TRADITION,..... but this rite here aint rodeo anymore. this is stupidity and boredom all bred into one.
IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH REAL RODEO THEN DONT WATCH THIS BULLSHIT. CUZ THIS AINT A REAL RODEO. THIS IS JUST PEOPLE TRYING TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THEMSELVES. A REAL RODEO IS FUN....
charlie2272005: We've been to real rodeos, coast to coast, border to border, large and small, even the NFR and documented this level of abuse at all of them.
@muneco70 Since one can't go back and alter time, that is an unanswerable question. However, a fact is when rodeos began, cattlemen associations did not approve of them because of the injuries.
f you we ride the horses the way we do and if they dont buck in the chutes we dig the spurs in them and then they go its wat we do and if u dont like it dont watch and leve us cowboys alone and how are u going to tell people to not shop at wallmart i bet u shop thear your selfe and yep im a rofeo cowboy i go to wallmart buy a coke and drive to the rodeo in my dodge truck whyle haveing a big dip of skole and i ride bare back so domt fuck with us we will hang u from a tree like a nigger
@baceball08 I seriously hope that all the mis-spelled words in your comment was on purpose. Because you seriously look like a ass if not. Get an education. I think leve is suppose to be leave, Walmart has one l, skole is actually skoal, domt is dont. And no just because you are typing on youtube, it does not excuse your butching of the english langauge. Dipshit
wow this is horrible i think my sis made a comment on the horse gored by bull saying that was her dad a some thing i take it back even though it wasnt me . anyway this is horrible i am going to personally shoot those people . i go to one rodeo a year and i do barrels, bending,flags and steer undecorating and campdraughting ,but at the same time i feel sorry for the steer .but the campdraughting there not torttured. but this is horrible the animals should die insteaed put through this
Despite how many times i have viewed this video, I just want to stay it really shows what happens to horse who have been forced to buck. Most of these horses are either lying down, trying to flee the chute or shutting down entirely and not reacting to anything. Its rather sad, but painfully obviously that these horses do NOT like their job.
Necessary for one reason: Attention for yourself and Hindi's massive former animal slaughtering ego. You see Sharkie I know what you are up to. This is not about the animals. Your 137 videos are shock tarts and offer no solutions. You dont speak in calm and rational terms. Vegan society is the only solution to the core of you benefactors and that is not possible. Even by government mandate. You wont post this comment because you never do. I feel sorry for you.
would you be willing to ride ONE of these TAME horses. You Sir Dont know shit about Horse behavior. You need to Study why horse react to situations, before you make a video. The horse out smarted you this time.
well, I have been in the horse industry all my life. Which i am 40. I have been a horse trainer for almost 24 yrs. I have had the joy of riding 2 WC and 2 Congress Champions. I also have rode a crap load of horse. So my i ask what your experience an qualification are with horses. Other then appearing uneducated about horse behavior.
JordanTBenson: You call us uneducated about horse behavior because these animals are reacting negatively to abusive handling? Even someone without a lick of horse knowledge can see how wrong this is. Is this how you trained horses for 24 years? Go ahead and defend it, trainer. We'll just keep your name handy as a person to not recommend, and perhaps someone to look into.
I'm ashamed to say that for years now I've believed that line about how rodeo horses are "born to buck." Nothing speaks louder than the wordless actions of those horses, though.
I'm embarassed, too. I'm a horse person, damnit, I should have known better than to believe that crap.
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm glad I know the truth now. Better late than never, I hope.
blah blah blah..gosh you are annoying! unless you own and raises bucking horses you dont kno crap! those horses are wild! and fuck..you can shock those fuckers! its just like my hot wire for those horses..god damn shut up
nah..i would consider myself..funny..and fun to be with..but you ppl need to go to a ranch the raises them horses and see..they are all fat..and they are wild..go ahead and be all goo-goo-ga-ga with them..they will kick your face off! and yes they are in nice condition..never have long feet ( well not the ones we kno) but rodeo is a past time..always has been always will be!
lol your so dumb, "hey I am right because I have an extensive vocabulary and write with the proper grammatical punctuation on a YouTube video", you dumbass arrogant liberal hippie fag shut-up
Horses buck when they cant go forward or backward. The bucking strap acts in irritating the flank so as the horse runs, it kicks out to remove itself of the strap. I just don't understand the logic of doing this to horses, teaching a horse to buck when mounted is single-handedly the stupid thing you can do. Its the exact opposite of training a saddle horse...its a waste of a perfectly good horse. So you shut up....Even tie downs and those long shanked bits are abusive in the wrong hands.
i hate rodeos. this video is so right about them. they abuse their animals. i no someone who actaully bought a roseo horse to ride it around the paddock. it was so quiet and so good for her. they are the best of friends now, the horse knows that she saved her from the rodeo.
i dont have much time to argue with ppl i dont belive have a porpose to live so i will just leave this thought for you. at the end of your video you say the u.s. army spend money on rodeo sponsorships but dont spend enough on body armor come on you ppl should know better than that. i seved in the army and i along with everyone else i met in the u.s. army had suficent body armor it is now standard issue.
c0wb0y19882002: Perhaps the Army took our advice to take its rodeo sponsorship money and spend it where it belongs - on the soldiers. The US Army is no long a sponsor of either the PRCA or high school rodeo.
you guys are abaout as bright as a burnt out light bulb. how many videos did you guys have to sift thrugh to find 5 or 6 horses that didnt buck. everything that was sayed in that video was a bunch of bull shit and all you ppl know it. you guys should really lern what the hell your talking about
also as to the pat parelli comment... ick, Really, what is more "true horsemanship through feel" than pressure and release methods? I dont need pat for that. He often sets newbie owners up for injuries by making them believe they are instant trainers. He is out for money, not real success. You cannot train an unbroke horse from ground up with a stupid video and no prior experience. Sorry he really irks me. Vote for non abusive training, not stupid Pat where the money at.
really, Im not going to argue with you. There is cruelty EVERWHERE, and something SHOULD be done about it. However, not ALL rodeo's perform cruelty on their rodeo stock. As for being born to buck, I can speak from experience, some horses genuinely do just love to buck. Mount those same horses who refused to buck in the middle of the arena and see how they respond. Maybe that would be a solution? no chutes would = less danger as well for horses and cowboys alike.
What is the matter with these people? Evan the people who post coments on this!?
They are saying they do not abuse ,but it is right infront of their eyes!
please tell me what is wrong with them!?
I do not buy cocacola after your videos and my friend have done the same! Thank you shark and i do hope that these cruel people will some day see what they are doing ...
iloilaetlolo: It's great that you've stopped spending money with rodeo sponsors. That's the only language they understand. We'll keep exposing this cruelty until change comes.
and just know that if these horses were not being used in the rodeo who knows where they would be, being that the are probably not able to be be broke or not useful in some way so if you want to bark up our tree open your drawer on your desk and there will probabalybe 1 or 2products made from those horses that arent being bucked so go after those guys and let us have our sport thanks
Amen. id also like to point out that these animals only work about 5-7 minutes a year, and are taken care of extremely well, even more so than their care takers.
What do you mean by that? i dont think you understand that people make their living off these animals, and are extremely grateful that they are here. do you realize the work that we put into these animals?? its not like we dont appreciate them, if they were not here we would all be dead, but if we were not here they would be dead too.
no you are sticking your nose into business you dont know the first part about the is a huge picture to be looked at and you can get past the ripples in the canves this is our life style and you have no resone to tell us what we do is wrong and that goes for the rest of your veagn buddies as well
jmambuehl86: Calling the cruelty and corruption of the rodeo mafia "ripples in the canvas" is just another indication of how far removed from reality and the general populace you truly are.
removed form the general populace is excactly what i would like to happen beacuse the general [populace is nothing but a scared flok of sheep doing what the next one is doing next to them becuse they cant think for them selves thats why everyone one here has an opinion on what i do and has not a damn clue what is really going on alls you say is were shocking horses and they think were rapping high line wires around them and killing them so if you have an opinion besure to know whatur talking abt
kinda works both ways thats why its an opinion because were im from you all are the outcast not me listin im going to end this debate here you are full of shit and have no clue what acctually happens at rodeos befor durring or after and you have no right at all what so ever to say the things you are saying being that many people depend on what we do for survival so just leave us alone and go fuck with some one else for a while the end get fuck have a nice day
With that if your just some horse lover that thanks there pretty then you should read into things a little more before having an opinion on matters that you know not of behind the scean those horses are extremly well takin care of most grain feed and hey they have it better being hauled to rodeos then be turn out in a pasture or even when the are made into some 1 acre yard ornament so please dont make us out to be monsters this is a sport and meany kids have there college payed for because of it
let me start by saying that im not here to pick a fight or whatever just a comment like everyone else having that said electric shock is aginst all rodeo assa. rules pro and non and no the do not strap ropes around their Genitals or what have you.. and to say that the animals in this video are tame and domesticated is a joke because the are not they may not be born to buck but they are bread to and by that it has some geneology to it but not a whole lot
Hmm... Sounds like the SHARK psychologists are at it again. Born to buck. Just a saying. Not the truth. You people get really fired up over semantics. These horses are bred to buck but not born to buck. I dont care what the announcer said. If you knew anything about the stock contracting business you would know that. White lightening needs retired. I believe that there should be more horses used in rodeo so that some of them dont get bucked too much and sullen up.
granitehills2t: You are confirming what we already know -- the rodeo announcers are paid liars. But it goes for the entire industry. "Born to Buck" is not just rattled off by rodeo announcers, but they the associations as well.
Don't condone an entire group of people for the actions of a few. Those horses do not belong in a rodeo arena, it's true, they're scared. They should never have been used in an event.
You're right. Do you compete in rodeo. All the bucking horse I get are calm and quiet...until you open the chute, then they explode. This is probably also because I'm always slow and quiet when I rig them up.
How come all of the clips are from different events?Probably because a wild horse shows up only once every other show. Certain contractors will just use a high strung horse because they don't have enough well mannered ones. All of our horses have been bred to produce a nice extended jump. They quickly learn to be calm in the chute, and when the rider is off they run to the corner of the arena to get stripped. They're on strict show schedules to prevent overworking and only eat high quality food.
Send in the clowns - because no one is going to buy your stupid ass logic for much longer. They will see the truth no matter what shit is spewed from your illogical mouth.
You are right shark maybe they should use some more like 8-11 thousand volts in the gun. I want to see you queers ride white lightnin and maybe you San Francisco faggot should try to go and be a cowboy...
No... Look at the super cows they are bred with big muscle cows to get even biger mucles. WE do the same with bucking horses and bulls. If they like to buck we breed them with another that likes to buck..I am not the stupid one Fag..
I am a professional horse tamer, and colt starting specialist utilizing natural horsemanship techniques. I am also a rodeo competitor. I'm the one with the facts and the experience. I like to hear peoples opinions, but please don't condemn things you have no expertise in.
The videos are not what happens in REAL LIFE. They are a singular occurance. I have been to more rodeos than anyone you know. I would be the one with the facts on what happens not you guys.
What are you talking about. These videos are not what is happening in the everyday rodeo. If I showed you a video of all the worst car accidents in 2008, you'd think it was pretty dangerous to drive a car, even though it's not. One thing to note I am left wing liberal, not a gun toting redneck, so I have no bias when it comes to this subject. I have just never seen anything like this in rodoes, and I have been to A LOT.
I am sorry Savvy but saying you are left wing is nothing to brag about. Who in the hell do you think is behind all of this crap? Funny because I dont hear conservatives saying this rubbish. Me personally I am a fiscal and somewhat social conservative. I am not a supporter of any political party, though because there is too much bad money going both ways.
Furthermore the flank strap encourages horses to buck with their hindquarters higher in the air...in the classic see-saw motion. If it were not present the horses would buck in a more up and down, bouncy movement (not very hard to stay aboard) I have personally applied many flank straps. They are wide and soft, plus they arn't pulled nearly as tight as you would the cinch on your own saddle.
Savvyhorseman: What you call a "classic see-saw motion" is in fact unnatural. You acknowledge this when you state: "If it were not present the horses would buck in a more up and down, bouncy movement."
A buck strap may not be pulled as tight as a cinch on a saddle, but it is not putting pressure in the same place on the horse, which is a rather critical point that you conveniently left out. Horses do NOT want their flank area messed with, and that's exactly what the buck strap does.
I don't know what your first point is. When they see saw it makes it more challenging to stay on.
To answer your second point, it's not pulled as tight as a saddle because it is in a more sensitive spot. Therefore it could be considered equivelant relative pressure.
No that is not correct. I am a horses behaviorist and a bareback rider. Any one of the horses I've ridden (All of them!) would have bucked if there was no flank strap. This video almost only happens once in a long while (I have never seen it!) Also they don't show any other horses in the event...because the rest all bucked.
Savvyhorseman: Horses hate the buck strap. That's why they buck when the strap is pulled tight. There are a number of horses in this video, and it is the second in a series. There was a ton of stalling because they weren't being shocked, since we got a court order to prevent it. These animals are not "born to buck," they are tormented to buck.
Ok, let me provide you with the facts. I have seen several hundreds of bucking horse events. Not one of these horses were shocked. This is against rodeo rules. Bulls are the only animal that can be shocked. Also, these horses do not HATE the flank strap. These are simply untamed horses, and have a great deal of opposition reflex. They are simply pushing against the pressure of the strap (which is also pulled looser than the cinch on your own saddle.) Read my earlier posting.
Savvyhorseman; You're sounding a little clueless. Go read the PRCA rulebook, and you see that it is absolutely against the rules to shock a bull once in the chute.
Did I say "In the chute"? I said bulls are the only animal that can be shocked in any circumstance ever. No other animal in rodeo can. And yes there are even restrictions on when you can shock bulls, good job for arguing my point.
Also, please don't tell me to "read the rulebook", I compete in rodeo almost everyweekend 6 months out of the year. I certainly know the rules, and a lot better than you guys.
Savvyhorseman: A couple days ago you posted, "Not one of these horses were shocked. This is against rodeo rules. Bulls are the only animal that can be shocked." This clearly conflicts with the rules. I guess you'd better read that rulebook a couple more times.
Actually I never said "none of these horses were". I said it's against the rules to shock horses...which it IS! Don't tell ME to read the rule book. Horse hide is actually just as sensitive as human skin, which is why large animal vets prohibit shocking them. This is in the rule book of every assosiation. I've spoken to vets and rodeo judges on this subject, have you?
Wrong! It is totally against the rules to shock horses, in any assosiation. The reason is because horse hide is almost as sensitive as human skin. This is why large animal vets do not allow it. I have spoken to both vets and rodeo judges at countless rodeos. I know the facts. I attend them...all the time! You're not going to win an argument in which you do not have the facts. It IS against rodeo rules to shock horses!
Savvyhorseman: If the horse is a chute staller, the PRCA allows the shocking. Some rodeos are now coming up with their own bans, but the PRCA allows it. Shouldn't, but they do.
I am a professional horseman and an avid rodeo competitor. I will tell you that this occurance is extremely rare, I have never seen it happen myself in all my rodeos. What happened here is the horse went catatonic (freeze mode). Tomorrow or the next day he might buck, but not today. Also horses DO NOT buck because they're tortured or abused, they buck because they have been trained to through conditioning.
Savvyhorseman: They buck because of the buck strap, the spurring, and often because they are shocked. This videos shows what happens when even one of those torments is not present.
I Agree With Shark..i saw a rodeo once..and lets just say..ill never go again..the ppl..slaped the horses in the face..and punched them in the belly =( it is cruel! i saw 1 guy with very sharp spurs stab a horse in the shoulder and the horse fell and limped out of the ring =( they shot the horse later...and through it out back!
TheVeronicas1Fan: First, horses in the rodeo aren't wild. If you were to jump on a wild horse (why would you do that?) it may buck, but it wouldn't buck like horses do with a buck strap tightened around their groin.
It's called a bucking strap. And yes, it is strapped around their groin. You would have to blind not see where it is placed. We are not stupid. We have eyes.
Dear Shark, I feel sorry for you poor sheltered people. If you could open your very closed minds and walk into the back pens at any rodeo you would see that we treat our animals with plenty of respect, we love them and care for them because without them we couldn't do this thing we love most...RODEO!!! Please read up on a bucking horse named Grated Coconut, he loved his job and loved to buck, but the kids also rode him around at home. He is a poster boy for bucking horses.
I'd like to point out that this isn't a black and white issue. All you cowboys, quit saying that rodeos are NEVER cruel, and all you animal lovers, quit saying that ALL of them are.
The fact is, however, that some rodeo's are guilty of animals cruelty. Anything which causes pain, physical or otherwise, to an animal is cruel. Things such as shocking, spurring, slapping, or beating. The buckstrap, when used properly, is merely a tool. Much like a bridle. There just needs to be far more regulation.
ok first of all tahts ur a opppinion and my boyfriend is not a loser... just because u dont lik wat he does doesnt give u the rite 2 say shit and it doesnt give hym that right either but u should obviously be the bigger person and not argue bak.... Honsetly i think rodeos are cool and besides gettin hurt it awesome!!!! But still u shouldnt sat here and say shit if u r doin the same shit so weather u lik it or not some people think its not abuse 2 animals so get ver it ok thanks
you can kiss my ass shark rodeo is an american tradition my boyfriend rides bulls, broncs, team ropes, and he bull doggs it's not animal abuse dum ass it's the greatest tradition on earth and every person in this video is a real cowboy unlike you cuz they have the balls to actually get on one of those animals unlike your pussy ass that sits in his moms basment and makes stupid videos on youtube because he has no life kiss my ass shark rodeo is the greats sport on earth and it always will be
Mannababi: You're boyfriend is obviously a loser. Not only is he in rodeo, but even more telling, he is with you. That's obviously sinking as low as you can go. Rodeo clearly is not a sport when you have to drag some of the "players" out of their stalls.
But you might want to simplify that down for Mannababi to understand. Clearly their intellect is lacking, if they still have that caveman portion of the brain that enjoys violence and the domination of our four-legged brethren.
it's obvious the horses do not get "enjoyment" out of doing this as so many of these people claim. i could not imagine doing this to my horse (if i had one), or any of the horses at my barn. it's so cruel. without the bucking strap none of the animals would "preform".
Ive done a little rodeo and the fact is that all the contestants have complete respect for the animals. The animals are the ones who decide if you win money or not. And if you dont think its natural for horses to buck how bout you go out and see some mustangs in oregon.
Most mustangs dont buck they tend to be more the runaway type. But Ive done allot of bronc riding on the range and in the arena. Either way its not abuse that gets the horses bucking. Allot of bucking horses get tired of bucking, after that most stock contractors retire them to some other life. Ive ridden plenty of horses that bucked every morning no matter what I did, you cant convince me they werent born to buck, they never bucked hard enough to make it 'pro' they are natural bucking horses.
GOD DAMN IT!!!! I am a barrel racer!! And those horses are treated fairly!! I own two horses, an ex race horse and a QH. Go fucking die! and Im with RodeoBarrelRacer. FUCK OFF
its not animal abuse. Mr. animal abuse announcer... horses are obviously not doing anything sooooooooo they do have a choice whether to buck or not lmao!!!!!!! hearing you speak makes me realize how stupid you people are.. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!! :) thank you

It is so sad, that there are still people who are able to hurt or even kill animals just for fun or any other dump reason. Have you heard from the dogs, which were killed because of the soccer/football EM in 2012? Dogs are killed just because there are so many wild ones and they are scared that they could bite the guests, eventhough they're mostly peaceful... just so sad

I agree with this video, if these guys want to play dress up and pretend to be a cowboy that's fine. But as far as what they do with the horses to try to get them to buck isn't right. I remember going to rodeo's when I was a kid, and I never realized what abuse these animals go through until I watched these shark videos.

I used to know a 'cowgirl' she was very mean, but still I always thought she cared for her horses until one day I saw her slap one of them, i thought nothing of it. Now I think back and realize, she probably did that often and probably still does.... also, it probably rubbed of on her regular life. she was even mean with me.

I read a couple comments, people saying "These animals are bred to buck" What breed is that exactally? TB's are bred to race, Arabians for endurance, but this comes naturally to these horses. I would love to see any horse in a rodeo that was "Bred to buck" go out of the shoot without a flank strap or being zaped or forced in some way shape or form. Horses are gentle by nature, not "bred to buck" as some people say. Yes, horses buck sometimes. Thats a given. But not like in rodeos

This ved is crap... i ride bulls and broncs.... PRCA rodeos very rarely use hot shots on bulls and even less on horses... RMPRA rodeos are the same way.... if you sat down and watched the PBR you would see that those bulls love what they do and pride themselves at bucking the rider off... and FYI i have been zaped with a hot shot and it kinda tickled.... a bull or horse is 10-15 times my size... so it cant do more then it does to me...

You see the reaction in the arena when they jump, kick and what not. Yes, even through a fit in the chutes, that happens daily whether it be in the arena or like my 11 year old saddle horse (no she does not buck in the arena) through a fit at the vets office. She was in the trailer still. No shocking or anything when I loaded her, jst walked her in.

Despite how many times i have viewed this video, I just want to stay it really shows what happens to horse who have been forced to buck.

Horses buck when they cant go forward or backward. The bucking strap acts in irritating the flank so as the horse runs, it kicks out to remove itself of the strap. I just don't understand the logic of doing this to horses, teaching a horse to buck when mounted is single-handedly the stupid thing you can do. Its the exact opposite of training a saddle horse...its a waste of a perfectly good horse. So you shut up....Even tie downs and those long shanked bits are abusive in the wrong hands.

really, Im not going to argue with you. There is cruelty EVERWHERE, and something SHOULD be done about it. However, not ALL rodeo's perform cruelty on their rodeo stock. As for being born to buck, I can speak from experience, some horses genuinely do just love to buck. Mount those same horses who refused to buck in the middle of the arena and see how they respond. Maybe that would be a solution? no chutes would = less danger as well for horses and cowboys alike.

You're right. Do you compete in rodeo. All the bucking horse I get are calm and quiet...until you open the chute, then they explode. This is probably also because I'm always slow and quiet when I rig them up.
Savvyhorseman 3 years ago
How come all of the clips are from different events?Probably because a wild horse shows up only once every other show. Certain contractors will just use a high strung horse because they don't have enough well mannered ones. All of our horses have been bred to produce a nice extended jump. They quickly learn to be calm in the chute, and when the rider is off they run to the corner of the arena to get stripped. They're on strict show schedules to prevent overworking and only eat high quality food.

granitehills2t 2 years ago
Furthermore the flank strap encourages horses to buck with their hindquarters higher in the air...in the classic see-saw motion. If it were not present the horses would buck in a more up and down, bouncy movement (not very hard to stay aboard) I have personally applied many flank straps. They are wide and soft, plus they arn't pulled nearly as tight as you would the cinch on your own saddle.
Savvyhorseman 3 years ago
Savvyhorseman: What you call a "classic see-saw motion" is in fact unnatural. You acknowledge this when you state: "If it were not present the horses would buck in a more up and down, bouncy movement."
A buck strap may not be pulled as tight as a cinch on a saddle, but it is not putting pressure in the same place on the horse, which is a rather critical point that you conveniently left out. Horses do NOT want their flank area messed with, and that's exactly what the buck strap does.
SHARKonlineorg 3 years ago
I don't know what your first point is. When they see saw it makes it more challenging to stay on.
To answer your second point, it's not pulled as tight as a saddle because it is in a more sensitive spot. Therefore it could be considered equivelant relative pressure.

No that is not correct. I am a horses behaviorist and a bareback rider. Any one of the horses I've ridden (All of them!) would have bucked if there was no flank strap. This video almost only happens once in a long while (I have never seen it!) Also they don't show any other horses in the event...because the rest all bucked.

Savvyhorseman: Horses hate the buck strap. That's why they buck when the strap is pulled tight. There are a number of horses in this video, and it is the second in a series. There was a ton of stalling because they weren't being shocked, since we got a court order to prevent it. These animals are not "born to buck," they are tormented to buck.

Ok, let me provide you with the facts. I have seen several hundreds of bucking horse events. Not one of these horses were shocked. This is against rodeo rules. Bulls are the only animal that can be shocked. Also, these horses do not HATE the flank strap. These are simply untamed horses, and have a great deal of opposition reflex. They are simply pushing against the pressure of the strap (which is also pulled looser than the cinch on your own saddle.) Read my earlier posting.

Savvyhorseman; You're sounding a little clueless. Go read the PRCA rulebook, and you see that it is absolutely against the rules to shock a bull once in the chute.
SHARKonlineorg 3 years ago
Did I say "In the chute"? I said bulls are the only animal that can be shocked in any circumstance ever. No other animal in rodeo can. And yes there are even restrictions on when you can shock bulls, good job for arguing my point.
Savvyhorseman 3 years ago
Savvyhorseman: Sorry, but while the prod manufacturer flatly states that horses should not be shocked, the PRCA rules allow it, and certainly do it.
SHARKonlineorg 3 years ago
Also, please don't tell me to "read the rulebook", I compete in rodeo almost everyweekend 6 months out of the year. I certainly know the rules, and a lot better than you guys.

Savvyhorseman: A couple days ago you posted, "Not one of these horses were shocked. This is against rodeo rules. Bulls are the only animal that can be shocked." This clearly conflicts with the rules. I guess you'd better read that rulebook a couple more times.
SHARKonlineorg 3 years ago
Actually I never said "none of these horses were". I said it's against the rules to shock horses...which it IS! Don't tell ME to read the rule book. Horse hide is actually just as sensitive as human skin, which is why large animal vets prohibit shocking them. This is in the rule book of every assosiation. I've spoken to vets and rodeo judges on this subject, have you?
Savvyhorseman 3 years ago
Wrong! It is totally against the rules to shock horses, in any assosiation. The reason is because horse hide is almost as sensitive as human skin. This is why large animal vets do not allow it. I have spoken to both vets and rodeo judges at countless rodeos. I know the facts. I attend them...all the time! You're not going to win an argument in which you do not have the facts. It IS against rodeo rules to shock horses!
Savvyhorseman 3 years ago
Savvyhorseman: If the horse is a chute staller, the PRCA allows the shocking. Some rodeos are now coming up with their own bans, but the PRCA allows it. Shouldn't, but they do.

I am a professional horseman and an avid rodeo competitor. I will tell you that this occurance is extremely rare, I have never seen it happen myself in all my rodeos. What happened here is the horse went catatonic (freeze mode). Tomorrow or the next day he might buck, but not today. Also horses DO NOT buck because they're tortured or abused, they buck because they have been trained to through conditioning.
Savvyhorseman 3 years ago
Savvyhorseman: They buck because of the buck strap, the spurring, and often because they are shocked. This videos shows what happens when even one of those torments is not present.

horses are not tortured to buck, my horse bucks on her own a lo in the pen or sometimes when im riding her

In australia we don't use electric shock and all our animals buck like crazy... Weird isn't it....

I Agree With Shark..i saw a rodeo once..and lets just say..ill never go again..the ppl..slaped the horses in the face..and punched them in the belly =( it is cruel! i saw 1 guy with very sharp spurs stab a horse in the shoulder and the horse fell and limped out of the ring =( they shot the horse later...and through it out back!
TheThreeCharmedGirls 3 years ago
you jump on a wild horse, it is going to buck, because horses are born to buck...
TheVeronicas1Fan 3 years ago
TheVeronicas1Fan: First, horses in the rodeo aren't wild. If you were to jump on a wild horse (why would you do that?) it may buck, but it wouldn't buck like horses do with a buck strap tightened around their groin.
SHARKonlineorg 3 years ago
eh to break them in.. duh! That is why you would jump on a wild horse. Not all horses that are broken to ride are born in captivity...

The bucking strap is not straped around their groin!
Savvyhorseman 3 years ago
It's called a bucking strap. And yes, it is strapped around their groin. You would have to blind not see where it is placed. We are not stupid. We have eyes.

Horses are not born to buck. About 1% of all horses are genetically predisposed to a high tedancy to buck.
Savvyhorseman 3 years ago
Dear Shark, I feel sorry for you poor sheltered people. If you could open your very closed minds and walk into the back pens at any rodeo you would see that we treat our animals with plenty of respect, we love them and care for them because without them we couldn't do this thing we love most...RODEO!!! Please read up on a bucking horse named Grated Coconut, he loved his job and loved to buck, but the kids also rode him around at home. He is a poster boy for bucking horses.

I'd like to point out that this isn't a black and white issue. All you cowboys, quit saying that rodeos are NEVER cruel, and all you animal lovers, quit saying that ALL of them are.
The fact is, however, that some rodeo's are guilty of animals cruelty. Anything which causes pain, physical or otherwise, to an animal is cruel. Things such as shocking, spurring, slapping, or beating. The buckstrap, when used properly, is merely a tool. Much like a bridle. There just needs to be far more regulation.

Mannababi14 3 years ago
Mannababi: You're boyfriend is obviously a loser. Not only is he in rodeo, but even more telling, he is with you. That's obviously sinking as low as you can go. Rodeo clearly is not a sport when you have to drag some of the "players" out of their stalls.
SHARKonlineorg 3 years ago
Ha, agreed.
But you might want to simplify that down for Mannababi to understand. Clearly their intellect is lacking, if they still have that caveman portion of the brain that enjoys violence and the domination of our four-legged brethren.

it's obvious the horses do not get "enjoyment" out of doing this as so many of these people claim. i could not imagine doing this to my horse (if i had one), or any of the horses at my barn. it's so cruel. without the bucking strap none of the animals would "preform".
VegHead94 3 years ago
Ive done a little rodeo and the fact is that all the contestants have complete respect for the animals. The animals are the ones who decide if you win money or not. And if you dont think its natural for horses to buck how bout you go out and see some mustangs in oregon.
cookesn 3 years ago
Most mustangs dont buck they tend to be more the runaway type. But Ive done allot of bronc riding on the range and in the arena. Either way its not abuse that gets the horses bucking. Allot of bucking horses get tired of bucking, after that most stock contractors retire them to some other life. Ive ridden plenty of horses that bucked every morning no matter what I did, you cant convince me they werent born to buck, they never bucked hard enough to make it 'pro' they are natural bucking horses.
