They are sending mixed signals to their horses... they are yanking their reins EVERYWHERE! Not only are they carelessly pulling, they are asking the horse to back by putting pressure by just pulling back( that's incorrect, you engage a little bit and when the horse moves one foot, you release) then they are kicking/spurring(I couldn't really see what type of spur they had, but it wasn't a English spur that's for sure) that is asking their horses to go forward. How exactly do you go forward and back at the same time? These aren't cowboys or equestrians, they are cruel people that think they are cool.

I agree with you. Thier reins are everywhere and then they over correct the horse and using shank bits with spers which will just confuse the horse more. All the rides are using shank bits, spears, and tie downs. They clearly don't know who to control horses. The horse is just trying the best it can to get the rider to stop hurting and yanking that shank bit. Then when the horse is going back into the starting gate a person touches their rump so the horse thinks it needs to go forward.

Classic examples of shank bits being used HORRIBLY wrong. I hate them anyways but if you're gonna use them then actually know how to use them. They are NOT for pulling and yanking (nor is any bit for that matter) and certainly not for punishment (like the guy in the blue shirt did at the end). What I saw was a lack of training and desensitizing. The guy on the grey needed to be thrown off his horse and trampled. That poor horse was in a lot of pain. All have big bits and tie downs. Train your horse right and you won't need any of that garbage! My little Paso Fino rides in nothing but his little ole rope halter. It's funny because it's actually slightly too big for him yet he's still very responsive in it. The people in this video have most likely cut corners in their training instead of taking the time it takes to actually prepare there horses for this sort of event. Please take the time it takes and do it right!! Your horse will be much better off.

The term "horsemanship" has completely lost its true meaning.

That guys an idiot. The horse is doing what he's asking it to do. He's being too harsh on the reins and holding them too high. The horse is frustrated because it's trying to understand.

I'm just wondering have any of you ever rode a roping horse of bull doggin horse before?

I hate people. I get yelled by "Expert horse riders" for NOT using a bit, whip or spurs. I use rope halters and I don't even kick my horses, and I have absolutely no problems riding in small little playdays, or just trail riding. The only reason I even go to play days is to get my horse use to going out to crowded places. People are so sick and stupid it's unbelievable! They say I'm to young to train my own horses, and that I should always use pain on my horses to control them. I get so sick of listening to people tell me how to ride when their horses are jumping and rearing in pain from a bit and spurs and whips, while my horse just looks around and whinnies excitedly. Are you kidding me people!?

LoneStarRider Never let anyone try to tell you how to train your horse. It sounds as if you have discovered what far too many riders spend years trying to find--communication, a real honest-to-goodness partnership. That comes from treating the horse with respect and kindness. If you take the time to show a horse what you'd like him/her to do, believe me they will do it, willingly. Unlike humans, they don't hold grudges and they don't wake up every morning with the thought "How can I piss off my human today?" We can always learn so much good from horses (and all animals!). I wish you success with your horse and if you choose to make training them a profession, I have no doubt you will be successful. Good luck, and God bless you!

this is a hadful of dumb people getting frustrated with the horses.

PULLING ON THE REINS MAKE THE BIT HURT THE HORSES MOUTH AND THAT IS ABUSE!

I stumbled into here while surfing. I'm a retired on a small farm guy, and have been around farm animals all of my life. I was president of FFA in high school, and raised four 4H kids as well. And at one time in my life I managed a 3,000 acre ranch, in rough and rugged North Idaho. I said all of the above not to boast, but instead to let you know I'm not blowing smoke. Here's the deal; It requires a tremendous amount of understanding, time, temperance, patience, and communication to be As One with a Horse. (a friend) (Yes, animals do talk to people all the time. So people Must first learn the animal's language, before asking it to work with, and for them). Most part time Cowboys and Cowgirls, are very limited as to how much Time they can Dedicate to their horses. Temperance and Patience as the 'good book' says; The quality or virtue of patience is presented as either forbearance or endurance. In the former sense it is a quality of Self-Restraint or of not giving way to anger, even in the face of provocation. It is attributed to both God and man and is closely related to Mercy and Compassion. If ya gotta be mean to win, ya done gone and lost already. That's my two and a half cents, for what it's worth.

Not all rodeos are like that. I've been to a few rodeos with excellent riders. The curb bit a actually a softer western bit as well. The tie downs are supposed to keep the horse's head from coming back and whacking you in the head, mainly put on hot headed horses such as barrel horses who love to raise their head. I know there are still many rodeos that are not as kind as the ones I attend but still. Not all rodeos are the same. So the "Must be a rodeo" part was kind of offensive to rodeo people who actually care for their animals. Not trying to be rude just stating a fact. :)

@KingsMom831

RuthlessPistol13 First, let me start by saying at one point in my life, I would have agreed with your comment 100%. However, over the years, I have educated myself and learned, evolved my way of thinking and if people truly care about their animals they would not treat them this way. This IS typical, at rodeos & most horse/equine/livestock related events & sports. SO, are you saying that you ONLY attend rodeos, that you can say 100%, without a doubt, there is zero abuse happening? I’m sorry, that is just ridiculous! I’d be more inclined to bet that a “fact“ is that at EVERY rodeo there is ALWAYS going to be animal abuse, neglect and ignorance. Same goes for show jumping and other “sports” like Big Lick. Just like, yes, some “rodeo” people DO care about their animals (or care about the prize money). I think it’s both ways. You can’t possibly say that there are specific rodeos that only allow kind people and people who do not abuse their animals. Just like, I cannot say that 100% of participants in 100% of every rodeo are ALL going to be abusive. How can you be that naïve to think that specifically the rodeos you attend do not support & endorse abuse to one degree or another? Tie downs, bits, spurs whips etc are COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY! There’s no reason (especially not the pathetic excuse of “it’s tradition”) to use this type of equipment. You can get the same results from your horse using other tack that DOESNT create pain. For instance, using a BOSAL instead of ANY TYPE OF BIT. Also, horses use their head for balance & a tie down deprives them of that. Not trying to be mean, just stating my opinion.

Anyone else just say "stop" "stop just stop" the whole time?

Horse riding isn't a commercial luxury, it's a discipline for the rider as much as it is for the horse. It is a symbiosis, a companionship. You can't just get on any horse someone says is "trained" and expect automatically to be able to communicate with it. That's like trying to walk up to some stranger in Wal'Mart and talk to them like you're involved in their daily lives. If these rodeos do not change the way they entertain people with the animals, they are going to suffer dire consequences.

This is not a horsemanship at all.. This man has no control over the horse Also this horse knows what's gonna happen.. Rodeo's are not the way to tame a horse Some rodeos are where horses have a bucking strap on and these horses suffer 100's of horses die at rodeo's. Cruel!

+Marit Totally agree

These horses seem amped up and a little confused at the same time. Reminds me of barrel horses right before they take off to run barrels. My discipline is not rodeo but I don't see any abuse here. Maybe a little bad horsemanship but no abuse. It would be interesting to see how these horses are trained. It's easy to criticize on the outside looking in and thinking something that looks different from one's own discipline is wrong or abuse. More like prejudice and ignorance on the "lookers" part. My advice would be to learn more about the sport or discipline before calling it abuse. These horses looked fat and slick and very good. Abused horses just don't look that way physically either. Just my opinion.

You call tell boring English riders by their comments. These horses love their jobs and get so excited to get into the box for a chance to do their job.

First off, I in no way support yanking and excessive spurring, however, as I've grown up on the rodeo circuit, it's not uncommon for horses in speed events (barrel racing and roping especially) to be so zonked and seasoned (it's the same shit, just a different arena every rodeo) that they already know what's expected/what they get to do, hence the crow hopping, spinning, multiple attempts at backing into boxes, etc. also, I never saw any major spurring or terrible yanking in this, in fact I've seen worse from eventers going 30mph down hills and over rocks, yes the shanks are too much for these horses, but, they're seasoned rodeo horses being ridden multiple times in one event for 7-10 months out of the year, they don't know any different.

The horses are obviously frightened and confused. The way these people yanked, yes YANKED the reins, didn't help anything. The white horse had its mouth open from so much pulling on his gums! It's makes me sick. These horses obviously don't want to do this, and they most certainly don't want people slapping and spurring them while they are nervous! That only makes it worse! This is absolutely sick, if I was there I'd have a thing or two to say. Heck, this makes me want to go to a rodeo, stand in the middle of the ring, and give them a pice of my mind!

Looks like that last horse knows the deal...

CLEARLY you're not a rider. The only thing these horses in the break away shoots are afraid of are the people on the ground trying to move them. The guys on the ground are telling the horse to do the exact opposite of the rider. See how the ears are perked up straight looking ahead? Yeah. That's the part of the body on a horse to look at for any type of discomfort. Horses like this love their jobs and tend to chase (as here) or work (cutting/penning...) the cows in pastures all by themselves. I've seen 4 month old foals doing it just for fun in the pasture. So please refrain from making judgement calls on issues you have no experience or true practical knowledge of.

I rope myself the horses just want to run they are bred for running but when they get in the box that's all they want to do the adrenaline is pumping through them and the rider is just trying to contain them and when they rope that horse is going as fast as they can and the rider barely has to tap them

What people do to animals just discuss me so much

I have riding and barrel racing for years, as a matter of fact 23 years I started when I was 3 years old at fairs, and the biggest problem I see here is not that the riders are big. It is that the horses are stressed and are worked way to much in the box. What do I mean by that is these horses need a little time to just be a horses and not a competition horses.

the bits they are using are jawbreakers. why is this still happening. what is wrong with these people...mindless suffering for entertainment at a cost of a confused horse. go get them SHARK. you do awesome work. goodluck.

I fully understand that there is cruelty out there. Some people out there care only for the Purse, bronc horses are cut up, and there is a lot of roughness. I respect everyone's opinions on here. However, only a couple of the riders in this video did anything that could be considered "cruel". These horses are covered in muscle, sixteen hands tall, and really excited. All that kicking and pulling of the reins in the video is not hurting them. And they are trying to back them up that is why the riders pull the reins back when the horse starts going forward, they are just communicating that no they don't want to move forward. I am beyond glad that there are people out there advocating for animals. But in this case, I'm not sure it's needed.

You see the horse thinking: what the f*ck this creation on my back realy wants

So sad. Countless horses who live unhappy lives due to a combination of careless actions typical in this "sport". Well, running horses ruins an otherwise good horse. After a horse learns to run like they do, they are not safe for just anybody. They anticipate and become hard to handle, thus all the artificial aids that these "cowboys" resort to using, like tie downs, severe bits, martingales, not to mention the mostly fat riders who have sloppy seats and most seem to be pulling back, like the goober who snatched his poor horse several times. These poor horses are have learned to be nervous wrecks from aggressive like we see here at this "rodeo" in California. Again, sad.

The riders are just keeping the horses from running full out. Some these horses appear to be green broke or high spirited too. Most of the horses are spinning because they would run full out if the rider didn't.

***** I never use spurs with my horses, and they are always excited to get out of the chutes. Why? Because they sense the excitement, they know what's coming, and it mentally stimulates them as equally to physically. Most times YOU DON'T want to wear spurs while in the chutes as it can easily be caught up on something. Spurs are a communication tool in teaching pressure. Spurs are not intended to be used for abuse, and those that use them for abusive purposes, then they should NEVER OWN AN ANIMAL.

His horse is trained to get in the box

These men all look like this is there first time on the horse, if my trainer saw me ride like this she would put a saddle on me and treat me like that.

rodeo is never ok. for the animals. the whole premise is egotistical and cruel. man (or woman) vs 'beast' they make these animals out to be 'dangerous beasts' who are there to be dominated, controlled, conquered... '. . when the reality is these are gentle animals who would rather live in peace and not the fear and pain rodeo exposes them to.- goaded, provoked, hurt, abused then disposed of.- rodeo is never ok. i spend alot of time with animals especially horses, i know the true nature of a horse very well... they are peaceful animals. as are calves and bulls too...

The guy is pulling on the horses mouth too much I will agree to that although he is really just having some communication problems with the horse. I don't agree with the pulling and kicking at the same time either because that's just confusing the horse. The horse and rider need to trust each other before doing this and the rider needs to learn to respect the horse some more. I understand when you're in the box the horse can get impatient and you need to hold them back but kicking and pulling only confuses the poor horse and jerking the reins around doesn't help. When you make them turn they're feet keep moving. You are trying to stop the horse not make it move back and forth.

Shamgar you nailed it, some people should just forget it if they can't do without drama

this guy is confusing the horse by kicking him,turning him around,and making him or her go backwards!!!this is NOT horsemanship,and it is not the horses fault!!!!

Horses just get antsy in the box. Lots of people around loud noises get them antsy and all the horse knows is what he's there to do and that's to track the calf every horse gets antsy at somepoint and people that haven't riden them don't know what it's like

I've helped to load race horses into the gate and I can tell you not all go in calm, they know the job they are about to do and just like humans they get that rush just b4 the race. That is what is happening here too, the horse is jazzed up and ready to run, he knows his job and wants to get it done. Not all rodeo people handle the horses in that way but when you have an animal that weighs close to 2000lbs being hyper you need to get their attention and make them focus. And just like humans again some need a sharp reminder as to what they are supposed to do.

It's amazing how much a horse can be calmed down simply by speaking to it compared to the yanking and kicking at the horse beneath them, treat a horse well and it will treat you back, I know from experience.

cant believe what some people do to lovely adorable horses its cruel

the horses are obviously confused at where they're supposed to go. possibly expecting abuse by electriication or prodding.

Often times, the riders emotion around the horse, rubs off onto the horse. Horses are very smart animals, when you're riding, your emotion becomes theirs. Idk what these people's problems were, but whatever it was, it is NOT, I repeat NOT, okay to put it off on their horse.

If my trainer ever saw me or anybody, even in public she would kick there ass

These horses have done this hundreds, maybe thousands of times. I guarantee that cowboy has literally thousands of hours in that saddle. Both man and animal are highly trained athletes. This is a display of adrenalin, nothing more. Although I would agree with you that there are instances in rodeo that animal treatment borders on cruelty, this is not a valid example. That cowboy has complete control of his horse. You are off the mark on this one.

This one guy going in circles over and over, what is he doing. The horse is totally confused and frankly so am I.

1:36 the horse Is doing dressage practice

mixed messages I agree.

These horses refuse to work because they know what is coming and want to have no part of it so it is their way of protest against the cruel works of these people yeah horses have brains and feeling too

***** You have no idea what you are doing is it? GOD never told us to hurt HOIS CREATIONS NEVER and what are people doing who HE also created! they mess whit HIS creations like they are trash but i can tell you this even the animals know more about worshipping GOD then most people will ever know. It hurts me to see all these animals suffer because of the horrible will of people their greed in their flesh to hurt others. Oh LORD have mercy on these people's souls and cover your creations and keep them safe AMEN AMEN AMEN

+Naomi Yisraëla i honestly cant handle your stupidity."God never told us to hurt his creations" if you want to start talking religion i will too. God literally put animals on earth for us to eat i dont think he intended for us all to be vegans/ vegetarians. And your saying its abuse for a horse to have someone ride it? (I would like to bring up the story of baby jesus where Mary rode a donkey/ use the donkey to carry their things)These people are just having the horse run after a calf so they can rope it. if you were to argue that its abuse to rope a calf i would understand and respect your views, but the fact that you are saying its abuse to ask something from a horse that he may not want to do at the time is crap. I have 3 horses and as far as my views go horses are like children sometimes they can be stubborn and not want to do things whats the difference between disciplining a horse and a child? Horses have been domesticated for a reason and as far as i can see these people are not physically harming these horses.

Savannah Crabb Rodeo the way they keep it to day ISNT NORMAL and you know that. it is all about the money that is in steak they who win wil get large amounds of money and therefore they do everything and do not care about the animals it is all about the curse of money the mammon of the world the holy cow that's what it is! and no i do not back down my statements because i know what is going on in that horrible world called rodeo! i have seen it myselfe I HAVE SEEN BULLS COWS CALVES FOALS SHEEP PIGS GOATS AND HORSESSUFFER in this idiot came of gaining money and it is BAD MEDICINE Yes God has set us as caretakers over HIS CREATIONS but HE NEVER TOLD US TO MURDER THEM. Yes HE gave us some animals for their meat for us to eat but HE NEVER TOLD US TO TORTURE THEM BEFORE THEIR DEATHS! Yes God gave us a lot of things in this live because HE KNEW WE WOULD DO IT ANYHOW WITH OR WITHOUT HIS CONSENT so who knows us better? GOD or men? i choose GOD and i agree with HIM in all things HE DOES!! The rodeo's today are the modern bull fighting rings in emxico and spain and brazil and all other country's on this planet and those who sponsor rodeo's and set them up now all flee to NEW ZEALAND TO CONTINIUE THEIR HORRIBLE PRACTICES OF TORTURE ANIMALS WHITOUT SHARK TO INVESTIGATE!!! but they are so wrong because not only SHARK does it job but more and more common people are looking at redoe's with different eyes and they all have cellphones and they all put it on video and do not tell me about religion because THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FAITH AND BELIEVING IN GOD!.

I don’t ride horses. But it sure seems clear to me this horse is getting mixed signals. It just makes no sense to me.

I used to wanna go see a rodeo. Now not so much....

Horse is panic.

such beautiful horses put to waste

Those horses are not scared.... The first one is being a brat and obviously needs to learn respect himself.

I'm disgusted. Those horses are OBVIOUSLY scared, that's why they are acting up.

If I as a person who works with horses, owns two and trains dressage can not even fathom what the hell they are asking that poor horse to do how can the horse? Turn it one way, spur it, it stands still and people are shoving it from behind, then pulling on a massive shank bit?! That is not an excited horse, that is a confused, scared and nervous horse. These horses tolerate way too much!

These horses are finely tuned athletes.. they are waY revved up and so eager for the "go" it takes some effort to get them into position. That is skilled effort you are seeing...setting up the horse without diffusing its energy and focus for the imminent "go ahead"

Ok I don't care that I don't own an animal but I have enough friends with one to know that this is SO not okay. Learn the basics people, if you can't find love for your animal than you shouldn't have one at all

Animals have feelings too but if people's hearts are too dark to see that then they shouldn't exist

If u have never competed in a timed a event with a rodeo horse than u have no idea what ur taking about!! The horse wants to go but the rider HAS TO hold them back!

You do realize this is roping and fast events NOT horsemanship!!!! Horsemanship is patterns DUH!!! Slowness with no ropes!!

these rodeos are cruel but not all rodeos are cruel...

ill call this the opposite of horsemanship i would rather call it ABUSE!!!!!!!!!!

I ride horses regularly and this is normal. What you people are saying is that the horses are "horrified" and the riders are showing "bad horsemanship" First of all, those horses aren't scared they are anxious and ready to run. They are doing what they are trained to do. Which is to back up to the corner of the box and go for broke. Those horses are not full of fear they are full of muscles ready to run to their fullest. Second, those riders are on an animal that is full of raw power, that rider must do everything in their power to control it. If that rider had no horsemanship whatsoever he wouldn't even be on the horse, more or less going to a rodeo. Horses rely on routine just like us. What they know is go to the box, RUN, get calf, halt...........that is what they are doing in the video( but they just want to skip to the RUN part) I myself have witnessed many times when a horse is actually scared, and if those horses are actually full of fear no one in that arena would be able to stop them. What those people and horses are trying to do is win. Which is horsemanship. For some of you that have never ridden a horse or know nothing about horses. I would suppose looking up the facts before spitting out stuff you know nothing about.

these horses couldn't look anymore confused. And rider are giving no clear signals and are obviously terrible riders. No good rider needs a bit the size of Texas, spurs that could be considered a lethal weapon and a tie-down.

+Levana Holland I completely agree with you! I'm tired of people acting like they know how to ride the horse they are watching in a stupid KZread video. I'd like to see anyone from any of these comments hope on one of those hot horses and ride them in their event, or just regularly ride them. I guarantee that those people would be on their butts in the dirt. Or they'd hurt themselves and/or the horse itself! Stop criticizing the riders! They know what they are doing.

***** I'm sick of what you're saying. Literally. Not all Cowboys are heartless animal abusers. That's like saying parents that spank their kids for something really bad are child abusers! And yes, sometimes they get anxiety, but saying they are scare and frighten is complete and utter bullcrap. My 11 year old mare is an Ex-rodeo mount. In fact I'm using her for rodeo as well! But she loves it and she'll run and run for me and look forward to more. Rodeos isn't a place for animals to go to get abused. Only tree huggers like you and SHARK think that. Sure animals get hurt, sometimes killed, but so do people.

Also, why would you be shoving the rump of a terrified horse? That's practically asking to be kicked.

Those people don't know how to ride.

If you have done your research you would know that this is perfectly normal. This horse is professionally trained and is excited to go. And if you are actually paying attention to it's rider you WILL see that they are all staying calm with their horse. They have great horsemanship. Probably try doing the research before you come out thinking you know what you're talking about. You get on a roping horse and do better!

@@SHARKonlineorg please I am not delusional! So answer me this! How many hot/high headed horses have you been on? And out of those how many of them were professionally trained calf roping horses or any kind of horse that has a high adrenaline rush. And how many of them were you able to control. I’m sure that you’ve never been around a horse to know how to respond to it acting like that. I’ll add in a link to a video and you watch it a tell me if the people in this video are giving the same pressure as the guy in my video. They know what they’re doing and know how to get their horses to mind. When a horse has its head set on going, it’s going to try its best to go. So please just do research for both sides. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYWDlrqaoqrQlrA.html
