bucker

Horse that kicks

A bucker is someone or something that bucks.

In logging, a bucker cuts felled trees into logs—the person who "bucks" the timber.

In rodeo contexts, a bucker is a horse or bull that bucks riders.

The word also appears in compounds: a real bronc bucker, sawbucker.

Less commonly, a bucker is someone who resists or opposes: a bucker of trends.
