Niler Foesier Steer Riding Competition, no. 46A - 1929

CS.1999.15.62

Captioned "46A. NILER FOSER DOING HIS NOSE DIVE FROM BRAHMA STEER. - ©. Oliver CALGARY." In this side-view scene, Niler Foesier is on a Brahma steer bucking rightward, going away from the viewer. Niler has been thrown into the air, and is upside down above the steer, but he is still wearing his hat, and still gripping the halter rope in his left hand. Four or more mounted cowboys are in the infield, and the one behind the steer is on a white horse. Further behind, one sees a white fence with eight or more cowboys standing in front of it. Behind it, from left to right, we see the long rectangular building with two of its smokestacks showing, the triangular front of a building, likely a barn, and on the right-hand side of the picture, we see a two storey building with most of the grandstand beside it. The contestants database shows that Niler only competed at Calgary in 1929 on July 8th and 10th, in this event. It also gives his name as Foesier, not Foser as on this card. On the back of the card, there is some glue and black paper due to removal from a photo album.
