Comments
(Australia) A rodeo event in which the rider attempts to stay in the saddle of a bucking horse for a set period.
The well-known Australian horse-play, called buckjumping, — the like of which I do not remember seeing in any other part of the world, — is not only very disagreeable but extremely dangerous even to the good horseman.
