Wild Horse Race, Montana, 1998

"First job in a Montana 'wild horse race': Saddle an unbroken animal. Then try to ride it. This is harder on cowboys than on horses, though rodeo critics argue that animals can't choose to sit out an event."

—From "Rodeos: Behind the Chutes," September 1999, National Geographic magazine
