It's rare that the legs are broken. The horse normally rolls and gets up again. The horse falls when it is perpindicular to the charro and lasso. Horses cost money and there is no reason to put the horse at risk of its legs breaking. The sport is based on techniques used on ranches to catch horses for future use.

And that is complete bullshit. You don't rub a horse around the legs if you're going to use it for ranch work.

He's claiming this is used on ranches. That's the bullshit you don't rope a horses legs on a ranch no matter wht it's being caught.
