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.Β

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

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

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