The catchers (eg 1:16 and 1:58) are more impressive than the rotorcraft (who's photobombing at 4:30? an actual brumby?)

  Evolved in situ. Originally ringers would ride a quarter horse up against a bull, slide off onto the back of the bull, then back over the tail, landing on the ground pulling the tail with one hand and swinging a bolo (rope with weighted end) about the bull's rear legs. This could get tricky .. and so came the spare parts Frankencar Mad Max Bull Buggies .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0YxZfiX2uE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0YxZfiX2uE It's a feral horse aka brumby, yep.

    The tail throw that Dolby explains at 2:14 makes a good argument for why native Americans braided horses' tails up for war. (compare the ahistorical depiction of gully raking in https://www.americanindianmagazine.org/story/art-capturing-horses https://www.americanindianmagazine.org/story/art-capturing-h... , and we do have historical depictions which match) WHK> only to find that someone had drilled holes in Johnny's water trough :-| Even in Australia I don't think there's more than one kind of critter running around with metal drill bits.
