The Cheyenne Frontier Days Western Art Show starts today and runs through July 26. I have my sculpture WYOMING COWBOY of the great bucking horse Steamboat featured at CFD.This famous bucker bred in Wyoming was voted worst bucking horse of the year at the Cheyenne Frontier Days celebration 1906 and 1907. The horse was jet black with three white socks and had a powerful build. When he was a colt he sustained a broken bone in his nose that caused him to make a whistling sound when he bucked and that is why the cowboys gave him the name Steamboat. The old-time cowboys said the horse would buck his heart out and wouldn't quit. This horse has become the iconic symbol for the great state of Wyoming. Let'er Buck!
