If they love to buck so much, why is this "tickling" apparatus necessary?
Do bucking horses pretty much buck all the time? You know, like when they are out there in the stable or or in the pasture or whatever? Do they jump around just for the hell of it, and because they like it so much? Or do they just tend to buck when someone ties the tickle strap around them, and then a person sits on their back?
I saw one yesterday on the TV, a grey horse, and he didn't seem all that interested in bucking at all and stayed right there in the stall, and one of the cowboys gave him a slap in the face and there was some shouting and whatnot, and then he got to doing what he loves best.
