bucking broncos

Wild horse rides

Bucking broncos are wild or untamed horses that buck—kicking their hind legs and arching their backs to throw off a rider.

The phrase is most associated with rodeo events where cowboys compete to stay mounted for eight seconds: He lasted three seconds on that bucking bronco before hitting the dirt.

Bronco alone carries the same meaning, with bucking emphasizing the action.
