Description

No caption. This colourized photo shows Pictured is Harry Knight riding the horse Miles City in the Canadian saddle bronc riding event. Knight and his brown horse with white lower hind legs are bucking rightward. The horse is mid-air with its head lowered. Knight is turned towards the viewer with his hat partially obscuring his face. He is wearing brown leather chaps, a pink shirt, dark blue pants, and a light-coloured cowboy hat. In the background behind Knight is a mounted rider on a dark horse, with the head of another horse behind him. A white fence runs along the edge of the infield, and in the background to the far right is a two-storey white building with a brown roof. We can also see a some green trees and a few of the houses on top of Scotsman's Hill on the left side of the postcard. The rodeo winners database and the Calgary Daily Herald of July 7, p. 19, informs us of the event and that Harry won $30 for finishing first on this day.
