Well, horses are so damned stupid -- and ecologically over-specialized -- that they probably would've gone extinct thousands of years ago if it weren't for us. They should be grateful for being stuck in the side with sharp objects.
Come to that, I know of parts of town where people pay good money to be penned in small spaces and poked with sharp objects. I doubt horses can be said to consent, however.
It's tied in front of the testicles, not tied and "yanked". It creates a bit more jump without harming the animal.
I don't know of anybody who still uses actual spurs on horses. The Bronc riders also use the spurs that are blunted and made to roll. Notice while watching a rodeo how much blood there isn't. The animals are cared for, harming the animal is avoided stringently.Well, horses are so damned stupid -- and ecologically over-specialized -- that they probably would've gone extinct thousands of years ago if it weren't for us.

Also, even while the rope is set properly, it is almost always still there when the person has been dumped or has gotten off after covering the animal (riding the full 8 seconds)... Notice that the bucking either stops completely right at that point, or soon thereafter regardless of that rope still being tied in exactly the same place.
Well, I didn't create the food chain. I just play the game. Using animals for sustenance (sp?) is one thing. I find that torturing them for your own amusement is just cruel.
BTW - do you have a picture of this so called "massage thingos"/spurs?
Nah, but I'm sure I can get one. They are rounded widely and made to roll. Riders who attempt to attach articles to make the spurs stick rather than roll are sanctioned and will actually be banned if they persist.
And which body part specifically is that?
Here is a nice site with the equipment explained including the Flanking rope which is not tied near to or on the testicles.... That is a myth. A hurting bull doesn't buck.

It's around the midsection in front of the secksi parts... The rope doesn't bind the testicles or hurt the animal, a hurting bull doesn't buck well.

I went to more than a few rodeos as a youngun and know a few people who still do -- I hang out with people with a lot of anachronistic leanings. While I agree that most rodeo contestants genuinely care for the animals and don't intend harm, harm does happen. Fairly often. Calf roping being the most notorious example.
I think that the days of rodeo are numbered. That number is probably greater than the remaining days of my life, but I still think they're numbered.
Those are the riding spurs that I talked about. I actually know not even one person who uses them for horses even... The spurs you must purchase for PBR riding are specifically designed not to harm the animal. Also remember that their skin is 11 times thicker than human skin...
I'll take the sites word for it because frankly, I don't feel like doing my own research.
however, I did see this:
"The flankstrap is the rope that goes around the bull's midsection. Its purpose is to enhance the natural bucking motion of a bull and to encourage the animal to extend its hind legs when trying to get his rider on the ground. "
Which tells me that the animal is irritated and does not want the flankstrap around him which is why it bucks.
that's pretty much the same way I'd react if someone started to choke me.

The rope is never pulled that tightly, and you would know it if you read it. As I stated. Watch a bullride. See what happens when the cowboy has been dropped or gotten off. The bull stops, even while wearing the flank rope. It isn't because of that rope that the bull bucks.
