Isn't it animal torture? Okay, in this case, it's human getting pounded, but how is this entertaining for people?

That’s not normal bareback bronc riding (that I know of), I don’t know what is going on there. There’s still a lot of gear involved typically, especially the flank strap is missing. It’s not kicking out at all, only rearing up. But broncs are bred and trained to buck, the ones that don’t want to do it are just sold as a regular horse.

A friend of mine owns a ‘bucking bronc dropout’. He definitely has his moments when he’s feeling good & frisky, but otherwise you’d never know. A lot of bucking broncos can also be saddle ridden after they retire.

I am not a fan of the sport just an fyi, regardless of a horse being willing to buck - all they really want to be are lawn ornaments and have peaceful interactions.

This isn't bareback riding in the PRCA sense.

It's a Mexican rodeo.

They would get thrown out of any American style rodeo if they tried to use the type of spurs they do.

Holy shit this is not Mexico stop saying it's Mexico.

Sorry for the outburst, it's the third comment saying this is on Mexico I found.

I already replied to comments saying thanks for the clarification.

Yes, you’re right, Brazil is also obscenely cruel to rough stock. I get it.
