Did they actually say that this horse was being broke? Or we're they joking in the title? That horse could have been so humped up under that guy when it was just standing there.......that he wanted it to get the buck out....
What's he supposed to do when it bucks then? Just let it? Fall off? What do you suggest he does when a horse drops its head like that?
And yes Tiny, he was probably smacking it because it wasn't moving forward unless it was bucking......
This is not all that unusual.....
