This is Lassoing Wild Horses by Solon Borglum (1868–1922), a dynamic bronze sculpture capturing the raw power and peril of the cowboy’s work. With his lariat raised high, the rider struggles against the force of a rearing horse, embodying both the courage and skill demanded on the open range. Borglum, often called the “Cowboy Sculptor,” brought the spirit of the West to life through motion, tension, and vivid realism.
