rodeo clowns.

In the professional circuit what methods do they use to rile the animals into a state of violent frenzy? You're talking about bucking broncos, right? They are bucking & kicking because they are not used to having a rider on their back, in a sense they are wild. We get the same affect when we break horses at home.

Is anything being done about all the local fairs where they do indeed tazer the animals ass and balls? If not why not? I don't know anyone who would compete at local fair level because the majority of people who enter them are what we call weekend cowboys, they haven't a clue and chances are the rider is hurt before the horse is. It would be dangerous. There are supposed to be vets & other animal welfare people making sure guidelines are met. I don't know if that happens or not. I've never been to a fly by night rodeo, they are the ghetto of the horse world.

In what way do animals being ridden in a rodeo enjoy themselves? No one has the ability to know what an animal thinks but suffice to say when they are pawing the ground & flagging their tail it would indicate they are ready and willing to go. When you spend time around an animal you become attuned to their personality.

And finally for the third attempt at the same question, would you let your horses be ridden in a rodeo? Aye or neigh (sic)? Nay, my horses are retired racehorses not rodeo broncos. Duh.
