I agree the tightened flank strap encourages the bucking behavior. BUT, its a very moderate 'aid' compared to what is demanded of various show horses. Double bits, over flexed necks , mouths tied shut, tails broke and reset high, or docked tails, or racing 2 year old babies. I'd say this bucking stock has leßs work, more freedom, and healthy food as well
Yes I agree, over the years the degree of danger has escalated markedly for Horses in lots of events, Western or English . The degree of difficulty in Show jumping and cross country has become heightened, you touched rightly on the dressage area, I would also add to that the mental anguish many high end dressage horses experience a lack of appropriate mental let down from endless training and often very few relaxing rides to compensate or paddock grazing time in a herd as a Horse . I think many of these bucking horses have a better overall life than many horses competing in all sorts of events where these days that there legs blow out early , their muscular skeletal system is pushed to it s limits way to often without the right down time, and mentally they are often not getting the let down they need . At least the bucking stock get to live like horses and experience a true let down . Its not like that for all competing horses and ponies but it has become immensely competitive in most Equine events and the Horses and ponies are feeling it .
I'm not sure if it's the same as the ranch in the video. But I saw one in a beautiful location that had CS on it. Just north west of Longview just east of Eden Valley. If it is the same one that's a ranch I'd love to see :) I love that entire area right up to highway 40.
You haters worry about a few broncs when thousands of frogs are mistreated in jumping comtests ? Priorities my friends you know what happens to frogs that wont jump !!! FROG LEGS !
Geezuz………some folks let their ignorance show about how these horses are “mis-treated”! LOL……they are actually some of the most pampered animals on the planet! Go smoke more weed!
Except when Calgary Stampede ships their bronc culls to slaughter. The Bouvry empire loves it. Good money in dead horses. Live ones too, we ship them in crates overseas for Japanese sashimi. Oooops. Did I burst your pretty little rodeo fantasy bubble?
Clearly you haven't paid attention to history. Four decades ago is when they stopped using horse meat in dog food. If they're not bucking in rodeos, they're out on the pasture for breeding purposes.
YOU ARE NOT UNDERSTAND NATURE. YOU HAVE BECOME A SILLY UNINTELLIGANT APOTHETIC INDIVIDUAL AND YOUR LACK OF EMPATHY FOR ANIMALS WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU ONE DAY.
True that - in order to work, a flank strap has to be just loose enough to slip a little and to the horse, it feels like he (or she) can kick it off. If the flank strap is pulled too tight, they won't kick.
If I were a horse and could choose between a life as a high end bucking horse, or being a dressage drudge or a race horse, I'd definitely rather be a bronc.
We also have large herds of wild horses in Alberta, largely in the area between the Sheep and Brazeau rivers, on the eastern slopes of the Rockies. Estimated to be about 1400 in number. Their breeds are a mix of draft horses, Spanish mustangs, and Indian ponies.
Im interested to know how they retire them, quality breeding stock for sure, but is it then they are sent to the doggers. ( Horse slaughter in Australia ) because their probably not much more than a companion horse at that point. I think these days there is a massive stress many Equine events place on competing horses now days. These animals actually have a very easy life overall when studying many equine events. and the lives the horses must live to compete successfully at them .. Many Equine events, include massive mental strain of endless training in a ménage, or high rotation of jumping dangerously high jumps with an ever growing degree of complexity, dressage horses that are commonly schooled to the point of utter depression, these bucking animals on balance compared to many horses actually do have a less stressful life and are handled minimally in comparison the the relentless training many equine sports place on their Horses. These days the pressure on soft tissue, joints, and bones on competition horses is non stop, so these horses probably dont experience as tough a life overall. they do their thing and get home and chill Its the retirement issue that I wonder about. And other bucking breeding programs, these horses have it good.
I have seen horses that are retired from bucking and are trained to become normal saddle horses. Other than that, they're put out to pasture to breed and live out the rest of their lives doing whatever they want.
bucking is a reflex that horses are born with to escape a potential predator. it’s not a reflex for sport. forcing horses to buck more than once at a time, for a prolonged amount of time, is not good for their physical or mental health. sure they live in green pastures now, but when they return from a rodeo with ptsd or a broken neck, it won’t have been worth it.
It’s very rare for bucking horses to get injured, many buck for upwards of 20 years, and that’s something you can only do with very healthy, fit horses, and not one of these horses looked overly spooking or skittish, and many, if not most of those mares bucked, and would, according to you, have ptsd
It seems like you have forgotten about the world famous phrase "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink", and it's the exact same thing with these horses. The horse can't be forced to buck in rodeos; it has to WANT to buck.
They are terrified! I save horses from a slaughter house and the majority of horses there are bucking bronco’s that didn’t buck as good as the others and off the track race horses
They buck because they are forced to with a flank strap, electric prods, hitting and kicking, rope burning, stabbing with wires , twisting their tails and ears, in fact any kind of torment to make them buck. when was this video made? 1948?
geoff pike not true my neighbor had a horse that bucked him off and he put him in a shoot and he didn't buck you can't force an animal to do anything if they don't want to do it.
geoff pike you wake up that's a 1200 pound animal I've been working with them my whole life if they don't want to do something there not gonna do it that simple. You've probably never worked around these animals or the sport of rodeo you don't know shit about what goes on in the rodeo those animals are treated better than some treat there house pet. Stay out of stuff that you don't know about.
Michigan Whitetail obsession, It's pointless speaking the truth to an animal abuser like you when you talk such bollocks, you breed animals specifically for tormenting in rodeos, enough said.
geoff pike it may be pointless to speak the truth, but c'mon!! Not all rodeos torture their livestock!! These cowboys are offering their animals more than enough open space for them to be what they are and do what they want, and they said Free medical care for these animals too!! Get a grip!!!!!😤😬
Awesome horses and awesome country.
Thanks for sharing !!
Cool Love it
This is the animal I have much love for them. its nice to see the owner treating them Good

well made

You just made my day! Thank you sir!
bucking stock are treated well and kept after properly, only negative thoughts and comments are posted...such Bull shyt
Geezuz………some folks let their ignorance show about how these horses are “mis-treated”! LOL……they are actually some of the most pampered animals on the planet! Go smoke more weed!
YOU HAD BETTER TAKE SOMETHING STRONGER THAN WEED, ACTUALLY YOU
DON'T HAVE TO BECAUSE YOU ARE A COMPLETE DROPE AS IT IS FOR NOT
UNDERSTANDING NATURE.
U got to think they buck 8 sec at many 12 rodeos a year they get the best hay best feed foot care there born to buck not made
Love. It. Nice. To. See. Horses. Being. Treated good. Like. Horses. Not. Food.

@@AnimalLeftist SHUT UP GRANDPA! YOU'RE NOT EVEN FROM NORTH AMERICA!!!
Just like a liberal open your mouth when you know nothing!
flanks don't make them buck, where would they be if not at a rodeo, probably in a can all ready.

Omg they are very happy with bucking you can't make a horse do anything they do not like to do
Camilla Johansson you gave me second hand embarrassment 😖🤦♀️
You actually can make a horse do something they don’t want to do...
If I were a horse and could choose between a life as a high end bucking horse, or being a dressage drudge or a race horse, I'd definitely rather be a bronc.
Lol horses become flank broke these continue to buck it's in their blood
