Wild Women And Tricky Ladies

Women trick riders have been a part of rodeos, wild west shows and fairs since early days. Riding tricks such as the fender drag, the tail drag, the suicide drag (sometimes called the Cossack drag) the shoulder and side stands and the big finish, the Hippodrome stand are still practised today by modern-day trick riders. The amazing photographic record of their feats, first-hand accounts of life on the rodeo circuit, and an appreciative eye for the wild women of the west by cowgirl author Jill Stanford make this a perfect book for collectors of cowgirliana.
