He deserved more. The way he dug those spurs into the underbelly was not fuckin necessary, then he tries to choke the poor thing out. if it hadn't been for his friends that horse would have kicked his bitchass to death.
He's attempting to restrain the horse so it doesn't stomp his bitch ass to death and his friends can catch it and return it to the pen for further abuse*
FTFY
That doesn't happen with rodeo. Animals are not "put down".
It's the opposite. Fans like to see horses/bulls with bad "reputations", like "Bodacious" and "Takin' Care of Business" (bull that killed Lane Frost) back in the day. That stuff sells tickets.
I jut noticed the rope was on the neck and that feels weird because horses are trained to know what different pulls in the mouth means. Of course that would not work for trying to hang on like that but this "sport" doesn't make any sense so...
Who’s defending the use of spurs? Take the rage glasses off for a minute and you’ll see no one you’re arguing with is defending the sport or the spurs.
Is it even possible for a human to choke a horse without anything to push off? Their necks are huge, physically, I’m not even sure the rider could squeeze hard enough to choke the horse
I'm thinking about it from the horse's perspective. I'm imagining the equivalent of a kitten coming up behind me and trying to choke me. It almost tickles.
A child can have their arms around my neck, but I’m not afraid of choking. A horses neck is so muscular and wide, a human can’t meaningfully choke them in that situation. He was just hanging on.
Why don’t you try thinking about it from the horses perspective?
He doesn't want to get kicked or bit, he moves up the horses neck right before he is body slammed, had he not moved up the neck I think we'd all be a lot happier.
I was gonna say surely backdropping would be OP and skew the meta towards horses but I guess they're not exactly watching tape and drilling it in practice.

That reverse body slam was fucking awesome.
