bronco busting
Breaking wild horses
Bronco busting is the practice of breaking wild or untamed horses, training them to accept a rider.
The term evokes the American West, where cowboys would mount unbroken horses and ride out their bucking until the animal submitted.
In rodeo, bronc riding has become a competitive sport where riders attempt to stay mounted for eight seconds on a bucking horse.
He learned bronco busting on his uncle's ranch.
