Black and white photograph of a trick rider, Mitzi Lucas Ryley(sic) as she moves across the front of the horse from one side to the other while the horse continues to gallop.
From the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame website:
"Mitzi was born into the sport of rodeo. She traveled and performed with her mother, rodeo pioneer Tad Lucas. Mitzi was known as a daring trick rider, and performed in rodeos across the country, from Madison Square Garden to the Calgary Stampede."
From the Cowgirl Hall of Fame:
"The daughter of Tad Lucas, Mitzi was born into rodeo. Learning to ride before she could walk, Mitzi made her debut at six, filling in for her injured mother in a trick riding act. A daring rider, she routinely turned down offers from Hollywood, while performing in rodeos coast to coast for twenty years. Retired from rodeo, Mitzi served on the board of the Rodeo Historical Society, establishing the Tad Lucas Award to recognize outstanding women in rodeo"
