• Hurdling The Corral
  

TRANSCRIPTION: Many and various are the tactics of a bronco ridden for the first time. The commonest is bucking, or pitching. This the buster expects, and is prepared to stay on. After sulking for a moment, the pony may dash wildly around the corral, trying to smash his rider against the fence. The buster, keeping his quirt and spurs busy most of the time, is watching for this and any other little trick that may be sprung on him. He intends to stay in the saddle, but at such a moment as shown in the picture has his feet out of the stirrups, ready to slip off. With the heavy range saddle tightly cinched on him, it is a thing almost unheard of for a bronco to jump the fence of a corral, but this one is about to try it. The buster does not intend to get hurt, although the horse probably will be. Should the latter get through his little feat safely, he will find the buster all ready to go on with the riding lesson.
