Bronc Ride in the Arena at Cheyenne Frontier Days, Frontier Park, Wyoming
A bucking horse leaves the ground with its rider still aboard while a pickup man rides in to make the save, photographed from the shaded seats of the opposite grandstand at Cheyenne Frontier Days. The lettering across the fascia — CHEYENNE, FRONTIER DAYS — identifies Frontier Park in Cheyenne, Wyoming, home since 1897 to the largest outdoor rodeo in the world. Numbered bucking chutes 3 through 8 line the far rail, and the arena sits inside a horse-racing oval with its white running rail. In the foreground, a spectator in a broad-brimmed hat watches from the rail with his back to the camera. Project: 219970
