I've spent a non-inconsiderable time around horses and I've never seen anyone smack one in the head like that. Putting them in the tiny chute is the start of the problem, and having to correct them violently should not be the only option, even if it doesn't hurt the horse all that much.
I'm not for banning rodeo but I'll be happy when we decide it's not something we should be supporting as a city.
