EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the raw energy and determination of cowboy legend, William Ritchie, as he rides the powerful and unpredictable horse, Lightning Creek, during the Calgary Stampede Rodeo of 1919. The image showcases Ritchie's remarkable balance and control as he hangs on for dear life, with every muscle tensed and every nerve on edge. The horse, in turn, displays its own strength and agility, bucking and rearing with an explosive force that defies the rider. The backdrop of the rugged Canadian landscape adds to the sense of wildness and adventure, transporting us back in time to the early days of this iconic event. William Ritchie was a renowned rodeo performer and bronco rider, known for his daring feats and unwavering courage. The Calgary Stampede, held annually since 1912, is a world-famous celebration of the Canadian West and its rich cowboy heritage. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of rodeo culture and the thrill of the ride. With its historical significance and stunning visual impact, this image remains a cherished piece of Canadian history.
