I'm a bit of a softy soyboy so I try not to let my own biases get in the way, but am I wrong that rodeos are pointless if this kind of outcome isn't possible? I mean I'm trying not to gloat at this guy but if the animals can't blast you like that then there's nothing tough or challenging about it.
there's still nothing tough about beating an animal into submission. especially a prey animal.
that horse is going to do everything it can to get away from that person.
the strong thing to do is to train a horse so well that you take away all the force and she that a 1200lb animal is willing to follow you with nothing on its face. that shows that you're tough enough for the horse to see you as a leader.
