bronc busters
Wild horse trainers
Bronc busters are people who break wild horses—training them to accept a saddle and rider.
The term evokes the American West, where breaking broncos was essential ranch work and later became rodeo entertainment.
A bronc buster earns the title through physical skill and nerve: The old bronc busters had more broken bones than whole ones.
