  • The Following Event Descriptions Are Presented for Your Edification and Clarification on What Is Being Represented and Celebrated in Bronze for Our Champions
    The following event descriptions are presented for your edification and clarification on what is being represented and celebrated in bronze for our champions. RODEO: Saddle Bronc Riding Saddle Bronc has been a part of the Calgary Stampede since 1912. Style, grace and rhythm define rodeo’s “classic” event. Saddle Bronc riding is a true test of balance. It has been compared to competing on a balance beam, except the “apparatus” in rodeo is a bucking bronc. A saddle bronc rider uses a rein attached to the horse’s halter to help maintain his seat and balance. The length of rein a rider takes will vary on the bucking style of the horse he is riding – too short a rein and the cowboy can get pulled down over the horse’s head. Of a possible 100 points, half of the points are awarded to the cowboy for his ride and spurring action. The other half of the points come from how the bronc bucks and its athletic ability. The spurring motion begins with the cowboy’s feet over the points of the bronc’s shoulders and as the horse bucks, the rider draws his feet back to the “cantle’, or back of the saddle in an arc, then he snaps his feet back to the horse’s shoulders just before the animal’s front feet hit the ground again. Bareback Riding Bareback has also been a part of the Stampede since 1912. In this event, the cowboy holds onto a leather rigging with a snug custom fit handhold that is cinched with a single girth around the horse – during a particularly exciting bareback ride, a rider can feel as if he’s being pulled through a tornado.

The celebration of male power, beauty, and homosocial relationships in Westerns is compelling to many readers and viewers. Although the form of masculinity idealized in the Western is in opposition to the majority's stereotypical constructions of male homosexuality, both man-loving men and those who claim to reject same-sex attraction have found a great deal of interest in the narrative. Development and Form of the Western The national fantasy of the Western has its roots in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the wars between Native Americans and European colonists. It developed during the rapid westward movement of settlers and the continuing conflict with native peoples after the American Revolution.

  • Trunk Contents
    Trunk Contents Hands-on Items Bandana – Bandanas, also known as "snot rags," came in either silk or cotton, with the silk being preferred. Silk was cool in the summer and warm in the winter and was perfect to strain water from a creek or river stirred up by cattle. Cowboys favored bandanas that were colorful as well as practical. With all the dust from the cattle, especially if you rode in the rear of the herd (drag), a bandana was a necessity. Shirt - The drover always carried an extra shirt, as 3,000 head of cattle kicked up a considerable amount of dust. The drovers wanted a clean shirt available on the off- chance that the cowboy would be sent to a settlement (few and far between) to secure additional supplies. Crossing rivers would get your clothes wet and cowboys would need a clean and dry shirt to wear. Many times they just went into the river without shirt and pants. For superstitious reasons many cowboys did not favor red shirts. Cuffs - Cuffs protected the cowboy's wrist from rope burns and his shirt from becoming frayed on the ends. Many cuffs were highly decorated to reflect the individual's taste. Students may try on these cuffs. 1 Trunk Contents Long underwear – Cowboys sometimes called these one-piece suits "long handles." They wore long underwear in summer and winter and often kept them on while crossing a deep river, which gave them a measure of modesty. Long underwear also provided extra warmth. People usually wore white or red "Union Suits" in the West.
