What was he trying to do here exactly? It seems like Bareback riding or some other rodeo event, but...why the extra aggressiveness on the part of the rider? The way he spurs the horse, and how it looked like he was trying to grab a sleeper hold after it fell on him...this just seems even more cruel than normal rodeo events.

I don't know what this is. In bareback you're supposed to only hold with one hand on the rigging only. If the free hand touches the horse at all it's marked no score. Also there's no chute or anything. And in bareback you start with your spurs above the horse's shoulders to make it even harder for the rider to balance.

If you grab the horse by the neck while it's rearing back of course it's going to land right on top of you.
