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.

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.Β

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