ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bucking horse

So, a bucking horse is a horse that likes to jump or kick its back legs in the air, kind of like doing a really big hop! But sometimes it's not just for fun - if the horse is scared or doesn't like the person riding it, it might try to buck them off (kind of like saying "I don't want you on me!").

Sometimes people ride bucking horses on purpose in competitions, to see who can stay on the horse the longest. But it's important to be safe around bucking horses, because they can be very strong and might accidentally hurt someone. So, we always need to be careful and make sure we are being safe around any horse, especially a bucking horse!
