EVEN HORSES RIDE AT THE ROUND-UP 



Up goes Hotfoot, "skyscraping" and "cake-walking" and often 

 down goes the buckaroo, but not so with Wiley Blancett, who 

 is making a splendid ride. This is but one of the many ways 

 buckers have of unseating their riders. Blancett will be for- 

 tunate if Hotfoot is satisfied without throwing himself over 

 backwards. 



"Even horses ride at the Round-Up. " If you are skeptical, it is 

 proved by this picture of the big, fighting, dapple-gray, Sledge- 

 hammer. He is well named, for whether under a buckaroo or in 

 the saddle himself, he never does anything other than in a thor- 

 oughly pile-driving way. 



In no phase of any event does there occur a greater variety or 

 more unusual happenings than in the wrangling, and this episode 

 was one of the most unique. 



Sledgehammer has been "snubbed" by the wranglers, to the 

 saddle horn of the snubbing horse, where not content with fore- 

 striking at the mounted wrangler until he has forced him out of 

 the saddle, has literally jumped into the saddle himself with all 

 four feet, which eventually bore the little snubbing horse to the 

 ground. Such is the gentle art of wrangling.
