The horses belonged to Students. Students, at least where I grew up and went
to school, do not furnish the bucking stock.

Bucking horses have an easier life than most animals, and are even better
off than backyard pets/pasture ornaments. And YES, they are bred for
bucking.

The well-padded strap that is used on them merely encourages them to kick
out when they buck.

As for the reason the horses were stolen, I'd say it is probably 99% sure
that they were stolen to run through a meat sale. The poor horses are likely
already on the way to France.

Big whoop you've seen a rodeo on TV and have concluded that it is "cruel".
You should actually learn about something, before spouting your mouth off
about it. Hell, I've seen at least one Jennifer on TV, should I surmise that
All Jennifers are idiots, too?
