I think animals feel pain like people. For instance a broken bone is equally painful to any species; person, dog, horse or rat. I also believe purposely terrifying an animal for extended period is abuse. I see the horse breathing heavily not necessarily like an athlete "after an intense workout" but exhaustion from fear induced struggle and straining. Different from like a barrel horse race. I do believe most people who attend and compete in rodeos believe they are not abusive and truly do not want to physically harm the animal, but they still fail to see the body language and the likely motivation a horse would have to buck or struggle or flee. It's hard to realize, I understand, especially when it's a part of your childhood or livelihood. I used to always go to rodeos myself and wild horse races were my favorite. But some things we just need to let go, we're better than this.
Ok. I hope u are against death sentence too when it comes to convitcs. Otherwise.. By the way. Do you eat meat? I m a foreigner. I m not so shocked with theses images. To say the truth i find it symbolic. The rest of the world admires the u.s. alot more than they even know and american also know. When i see that: i tell myself: These american guys: when they want something man they go for it. Maybe it s good for kid to see that you can break a horse just like that. Actually I find it important to know.
look im a barrel racer and i love the rodeo but this event is just plain mean. im mean letting the horse drag the rope around, could trip them and not only endager the horse but also the rider and i have seen plenty of times when these races happen fingers in the horses eyes, nose, and twisting their ears. its nothing but a scary painful experince for these poor horses
NO. It is 'you' who is ignorant. How anyone can possibly feel good in their heart of hearts about how horses are being terrorized in the name of entertainment for cruel people is way beyond this horse woman.

I totally agree
totally agree! studies show horses have thicker skin that ppl. it would hurt from ropes or a whip a bit more

Did anyone notice that most of the horses won? Horses were good and fat. People who are posting negative comments are ignorant.

Wish I hadn't watched this now
Watch the SHARK animal cruelty rodeo's and then tell me animals, especially horses are not sensitive to pain.
Shocking zoom in film work. Stupid sport in the name of entertainment..
Claire Eileen totally agree
Despite what u think HJ it IS animal abuse. Don't waste my tax dollars with any need for public services
Etrange sport...
Dangerous for people and horses and not an effective way to train horses.I suspect those horses are kept by the rodeo for this event.
What da f*ck did I just see?
If it was,nt for these horses you people would never be where you are today you should respect then not torture or kill you are as bad as the Chinese
These horses aren’t wild btw, they are mostly ottb that are sold the rodeos.
Not one looks like a TB.
