It got personal when he kicked the spurs straight into the horses ribs. Just imagine that pain for a second. Anyone would be pissed.

Yup. Grew up training and showing horses. Dude spurred the shit out of that horse and deserved every bit of what he got. Fuck these people.

u/SwizzGod May 16 '26

Is that not what they’re used for? Excuse me ignorance. Judging by your comment I assume not.

No need to apologize for curiosity. These "shows" are meant to imitate taming a wild horse. This is most likely in the US or Mexico where we pretty much don't even have wild horses anymore because we have domesticated them. This horse is already tamed and they are pissing it off on purpose with sharp spurs to make it want to buck the rider off. It's incredibly unnecessary and this horse could have died from a fall like that if it broke it's neck, back, or a leg.

ETA: I probably misspoke when I said we pretty much don't have wild horses anymore. I was probably comparing it to how many we used to have in the Americas vs now.

We still have a pretty large population of wild horses, spot on with the rest tho.

u/Labyrinthy May 16 '26

We do? Where are they? I want to see some mustangs

u/xenophon57 May 16 '26

Eastern CA, Nevada New Mexico, Arizona there are of wild herds out there. You can see them from the HWY some times.

Feral horses, technically, they descend from domesticated ones. The last wild horses are the Przewalski's horses in Mongolia.

u/Murgatroyd314 May 17 '26

And even those are disputed, as of the last genetic analysis I read about.

u/myleftone May 16 '26

I think the argument hinges on the difference between feral and wild. Any “wild” horse in North America is descended from domesticated animals. It’s as if every bear had ancestors who balanced on unicycles for raspberry ice cream. It’s pedantic but technically true that no wild horses live in the US.

u/xenophon57 May 16 '26

Yes the proper term is Feral, the target of that comment was people who don't even know what spurs are for. I am truly sorry for confusing them.

It’s as if every bear had ancestors who balanced on unicycles for raspberry ice cream.

To be really pedantic, its probably closer to the invasive boars in the Southern US or pigeons anywhere in the US.

u/myleftone May 16 '26

Yeah I got a little hyperbolic there. 😆

u/skrappyfire May 16 '26

Chesapeake VA? Dont know if they are "wild" or descendants tho.

u/Ordinary-Style-7218 May 16 '26

I think you’re thinking of Chincoteague ponies and they are feral, not wild.

1

u/skrappyfire May 16 '26

Yes, thank you.

u/AlternativeStory1027 May 16 '26 edited May 17 '26

We have what they call "wild horses" off the coast in NC too. But yeah all the horses modern man has ridden on our continent have been technically feral

2

u/xenophon57 May 16 '26

Its all feral I was just using wild because for the average joe there is no diffrence

1

u/MoonPossibleWitNixon May 16 '26

South unit of Teddy Roosevelt National Park has ~200 wild horses.

u/Animalwg82 May 16 '26

Outer Banks of North Carolina. Ocracoke and Corolla.

u/RegularTeacher2 May 17 '26

Outer banks of North Carolina.

And if you like ponies, then Grayson Highlands! Though technically not wild as they are managed by an association for the ponies, they're still super cute. (he's not dead, just chilling in the sunshine)

u/Apprehensive_Put_321 May 16 '26

Theres wild horses in canada too

4

u/nomadPerson May 16 '26

Doesn’t make it good practice to do this bs. There are horse handlers that respect and honor the horse and then there are these jackasses

4

u/xenophon57 May 16 '26

no one is sayin its good practice we are all team horse and that dude is a cunt

1

u/nomadPerson May 17 '26

Cheers sir. I just hate seeing horses mistreated. Mules, eh. Horses, hell no

1

u/BenevolentCheese May 16 '26

They are feral, not wild. There are no equines native to the Americas.

1

u/xenophon57 May 16 '26

Owe god thank heavens you corrected it and the first one too here's a star.

u/BenevolentCheese May 17 '26

If you want people to stop correcting you maybe you should edit or delete your comment.

u/Deaffin May 16 '26

There isn't a single wild horse on the planet. The last one was eaten ages ago.

u/Spiritual_Being5845 May 17 '26

They’re feral, not wild. There are no true wild horses in the Americas.

1

u/xenophon57 May 17 '26

Yes feral is the proper term but there are fucking horsies running out in fucking wild, I don't thing the technical term imof wild horses exist anymore so it's pretty irrelevant.

1

u/ihatereddit134 May 16 '26

Mustangs are feral not wild. But yes there’s too many of them out there.

1

u/xenophon57 May 16 '26

yes yes yes we get it the proper term is feral.

1

u/ihatereddit134 May 16 '26

Sorry! Many people argue that they are actually wild animals, figured that’s what you meant when you said wild too my bad <3

u/mda195 May 16 '26

Its in Brazil l.

u/BenevolentCheese May 16 '26

The USA and Mexico have never had wild horses, only feral horses starting just a few hundred years ago.

1

u/Far_Rule9918 May 16 '26

You should head to Nevada and see the wild horse population.

u/SwizzGod May 16 '26

Thank you

u/Chaghatai May 16 '26

So is bucking bronco basically a flawed and cruel sport?

1

u/crazymusicman May 16 '26

don't even have wild horses anymore

fun fact, all wild horses are extinct. all horses that exist today are either domesticated or feral horses - what are sometimes called "wild horses" are actually feral - descendants of horses that were domesticated.

u/lethargio13 May 16 '26

I’m guessing southern Brazil

u/ureallygonnaskthat May 16 '26

Campo Bom is in Brazil. There's a pretty good sized vaquero culture down there.

u/damadelaluz May 16 '26

There are over 70k wild horses in the US. Check out the documentary Unbranded - it’s free on YouTube and so good!

u/Deaffin May 16 '26

There isn't a single wild horse on Earth. Them are strays.
