AnalysisThe first section provided that roping any unbroken horse or untrained bull was illegal. This was followed by prohibitions on "wrestling, fighting, or struggling with any untrained bull", and on stimulating a horse or bull to buck. This last provision would exclude cinch straps specifically designed to irritate the animal or a strap cinched around its genitals.[2] The prohibitions applied not only to the riders and the stock contractors preparing the animals, but to any promoter of the contests or exhibitions. The penalties were fines of up to 100 pounds, or up to three months in gaol, per violation. Geographic scopeThe last section of the act provided that it was not effective for Northern Ireland.
