English term or phrase: buckin bronco
I'm asking this out of pure curiosity. :-)

I have found that a "bronco" can be translated as "potro cerril" and "to buck" as "corcovear" - is there a set or common way to translate "bucking bronco" into Spanish (from Spain if possible) though?

A bucking bronco can be an actual horse or one of those machines you see at rodeos and fairs to test a rider's ability.

I look forward tor eading your answers :-)
