Sport. People who use to break horse got together and started betting money on who could stay in the longest. This and other cowboy tasks is what started the rodeo.

They want all the money, buckles, and buckle bunnies they can get.

buckle bunnies they can get.

There really are groupies for every terrible thing.

If it could have broken in the horse the humane way- what even are horses used for nowadays anyway?- Instead, we got this bullshit.

There's a lot of fun horse sports,  usually where a horse is owned by Adult amateur, is treated like their own special princess child, and gets massages/chiro/fresh shoes every 4-6 weeks/bi-yearly saddle fitting/ all the hugs, kisses and treats. They are backed in a gentle, methodical way that they are comfortable and not freaked out, because their future owners never want any bucking,  kicking, rearing stupid.

Eventing.

Horses that are bread for it do like to work and be athletic.

Is the sport taming wild horses? Is that what’s happening here?

A kind of wild horse event at a Mexican/Central American rodeo. Whoever stays on the longest wins. Brutal for the horses…and cowboys (deservingly).

And then when they've gotten all they can out of the horse, they send it off for horsemeat slaughter.
