The bucking bronco is a popular rough-riding rodeo attraction.
What is a bronco? The word “bronco” is actually a Spanish word for rough. In
English, a bronco is a challenging horse that is difficult to ride and tends to
buck while ridden under saddle or bareback.
Basically, a bronco is a horse that is inexperienced in
carrying a rider, unwilling to do so, or simply difficult to ride. The bronco, or bronc, may be a
feral or green horse, or it may be an unruly, intractable equine that persists
in bucking riders off.
Bucking broncos are commonly seen in rodeos, showing up in
bareback bronc and saddle bronc events. Bronc riders are timed and judged to earn
competition scores. For such events, riders typically wear spurs, and special
flank straps are placed on the horses (and tightened immediately before entry
to the arena) to encourage bucking.
The term “bucking bronco” is also bandied about in to
describe a misbehaving horse after a particularly high-energy ride.
