Rodeo
The Suicide Trail
by H. L. (Lee) Hames
The sport of rodeo actually came into being as a Sunday afternoon pastime for ranch cowboys. In the days of the open range, almost all of the large cow outfits had a few saddle horses in their remuda that would buck every time that they were ridden. After getting the buck out of their systems, these horses were usually good cow horses. To test their riding ability as well as to have fun and relax, the ranch cowboys contested against each other to see who could stay on the longest and make the wildest ride on these horses.
