14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Boy breaking horse

I was at a friend's house, and went into the back yard and noticed the boy on the horse in the round pen. He was breaking a young gelding.I grabbed my camera out of my car and started shooting. It's amazing to me to see a 14 yr old boy, who weighs about 120lbs is so brave to jump on this strong horse, that hasn't really been ridden, and take control of the situation.
