   Hindi's website, however, quotes the Miller Manufacturing marketing director, Jim Bartel, as saying the device is not to be used at rodeos.
   
   "The Hot-Shot Power-Mite livestock prod is designed, manufactured, and marketed for use to aid in the movement of cattle and hogs," Bartel said, according to Hindi. "Hot-Shot does not condone the use of the Power-Mite or any Hot-Shot electric prod for use on horses, including horses in a rodeo environment."
   
   Bartel could not be reached for comment Thursday night.

   Hindi said this is the first time he has taped the National Western Rodeo, although he said he also has videotaped electric shock being used at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and the rodeo at Cheyenne Frontier Days.

   Hot Shot manufacturer Jim Bartel said the device is not meant for horses.
   
   "The device is for cattle and pigs, animals that have to be prodded to move in a certain direction,: said Bartel, a marketing manager for Miller Manufacturing Co. from Savage, Minn.
   
   The device, which runs on two 9-volt batteries, probably feels like a bee sting, he said.
   
   "It doesn't burn, but it makes them jump. It is more humane than using a stick with a nail protruding out of it, which is how cowboys used to move stock," Bartel said.
