bronco busters
Wild horse tamers
Bronco busters are people who break wild or unbroken horses, training them to accept a rider.
The term comes from the American West, where bronco (from Spanish, meaning rough or wild) designated an untamed horse.
A bronco buster's job was to ride the horse repeatedly until it stopped bucking and resisting.
The occupation was central to ranch life and became romanticized in rodeo culture, where bronco busting evolved into a competitive sport.
