Bulls & Welfare
In the MBR the bulls are treated with as much respect as, if not more than, the human athletes who ride them. The MBRโs Animal Welfare Policy exemplifies the great regard in which everyone associated with the organization holds these athletes, as well as explains the care they receive as professional athletes.
There are two great athletes in every 8-second ride, the bull rider and THE BULL.
The Professional Bull Riders is fully committed to ensuring the health, safety, welfare, and respect of each bovine athlete that enters a MBR arena. The care and treatment of MBR bulls is a top priority to those who govern and/or participate in MBR events. The organization operates under a no tolerance policy for any mistreatment of an animal associated with the MBR.
Bull Riding
*The process starts when the rider gets on the bull and takes hold of a lengthy braided rope that's connected to the animal. Once the rider is ready, he signals with a nod to open the bucking chute, unleashing bull and rider out into the arena in burst of action. The clock actually starts when the bull exits the chute.
Flank strap
Contrary to popular belief, the flank strap is not tied around the bull's testicles. This rope is to encourage the bull to use his hind legs more in a bucking motion, as this is a true test of a rider's skill in maintaining the ride.
Typically, they are fleece-lined, sheepskin-lined, or padded leather straps. rules are strict concerning the placement of these straps, and they must contain a quick-release buckle. These straps are the source of protest from animal rights groups, and their purpose is often misconstrued. They cannot cut or contain sharp points that harm the animal, and they are not placed on an animalโs groin. Because bull riding events judge both the cowboy and the animal, itโs not in the riderโs best interest to harm them in any way.
Where Is The Flank Strap Placed On An Animal?
Placement is dependent on the animal and the rodeo event. For bulls, the strap is placed just in front of the animalโs back legs, and the goal is to promote kicking and bucking. On a horse, the strap goes around the flank, the area between the ribs and hip, and is where the name of the strap is derived.
How Does The Flank Strap Work?
As the animal waits for the chute to open, a flank strap is loosely fitted to his body. Contrary to what some protestors say, the flank strap is not fitted around an animalโs genitals. Once the gate opens, the strap is pulled tightly, and as the strap tightens, the animal understands it is time to start bucking. Each strap is tightened to a limit based on the animal so that the animal is not harmed.
Examples Of How Flank Strap Is Used In Commentary
1. As the gate to the chute opened, the bull's flank strap began to pull tighter, thrusting both rider and beast into the arena.
Spurs and gear
The spurs help a rider maintain his balance by giving him added grip with his feet. The spurs do not cut or scratch a bull's hide, which is seven times thicker than a human's skin.
The event requires minimal gear: a bull rope with a braided-leather handle, spurs, a padded vest, a leather riding glove, chaps, and a helmet
