2 bronc stomper
As Adams observes, either a synonym for bronco buster or a man who is skilled in riding and able to ride a vicious horse. See also bronco buster above.According to Adams, "a horse in his second season of work."Adams says this refers simply to "a bad horse." It may refer to the fact that such a horse is hard to stay mounted on, hence "oily" or "slippery."Glossed by Watts as "an inexperienced or unbroken horse."To begin to break a horse, to ride it for the first time. -
3 bronc belt
Adams includes this term, meaning "a broad leather belt sometimes worn by bronc fighters to support their back and stomach muscles." -
4 bronc saddle
According to Blevins, "a saddle designed for breaking horses." It has a wide, undercut fork, a deep-dished cantle, and bulges in the back. Also known as a bronc tree. -
5 bronc spur
Defined by Blevins as "a spur whose shank turns in toward the horse, to make scratching the bronc easier." -
6 bronc fighter
May be used as a synonym for bronco buster, but Blevins cites Adams as saying that it might also refer to a rider who spoils a horse instead of breaking it. See also bronco buster below. -
7 bronc fits
DARE: 1963. Refers to outbreaks of a horse when the animal becomes unmanageable and kicks and bucks uncontrollably. -
8 bronc stall
Blevins notes that this term refers to a horse stall that is built just large enough so that a horse can stand in it but so narrow that the horse cannot kick or bite (similar to a rodeo chute). Adams indicates that such stalls are common on ranches where horses are broken for the harness, but cowboys prefer to break their horses in a wide-open corral. -

11 bronco
(Sp. model spelled same [bróŋko], of uncertain origin; may be from Latin broncus, via broccus 'having long, uneven teeth' as the DRAE concludes; or from an early Spanish term meaning originally 'piece of a cut branch' or 'knot in wood' < Vulgar Latin * bruncus, a cross between broccus 'pointed object' and truncus 'trunk' as Corominas hypothesizes)Clark: 1850s. Hendrickson, Clark, and Blevins all reference this term.1) Originally applied to a wild or unbroken horse. It could be used as an alternate term for mustang. It was later applied more loosely to any unmanageable or vicious horse. More recently, the term refers to any horse used by a cowboy.2) The term could also be an adjective describing an unruly horse or a wild, rebellious person. The DRAE references the adjective bronco, meaning crude, rough, or unrefined, and also mentions a noun form used in Mexico meaning an untamed horse. Santamaría concurs, describing a bronco as a horse that has not yet been broken and therefore fights the reins and rider.Alternate forms: bronc, bronch, broncho.Cowboys came to prefer the anglicized form bronc.
