Vegetarian protestors crash Argentinian rodeo

Gauchos ride in with bullwhips and rout them. Quickly. Easily. And it only takes a few riders. So few, so fast it's shown three times from different angles in the video.

The music plays.

Watched twice but I don't see any whips. I'll take their word for it.

Because the protestors run so quickly from so few riders. 

The thing that gets me is they can feel so brave, so sanctimoniously obnoxious, but cannot attack and push a rider off his horse. 

There is a total mismatch between the bravado on display of purposefully pissing off an entire audience assembled for a rodeo and how they are scrambled so easily and manhandled out of the area. Their arrogant pussy-ness is exposed in seconds. 

I searched [push off a rider] on YouTube and get a bunch of videos of people angry with motorcycle riders.  

I cannot find videos of people on foot attacking a horseman. The things that come up are all weird such as game videos and hordes. But it seems to me possible to attack a rider by grabbing their clothes, an arm, a leg, their reins, their suit of armor or whatever and pulling them off their horse. They need to balance on their horse. Their feet are in stirrups and they're swinging something around. They're actually vulnerable up there. 

Why do the riders win so easily when there is so much vulnerability with both horse and the rider? 

Just f up the horse with a stick or a rope or a loud noise or a rubber snake, or f up the rider with a stick that holds up the protest sign or a bola or slingshot or even a rock. The protestors come with backpacks but each one is ill prepared for a conflict that they provoke. Total fail.

Please explain this to me.

Then to celebrate the attendees go out for a steak or a hamburger.
