About The Bow-Legged Cowboy "Bonnie McCarroll - 1915 - Pendleton Round-Up" Limited Edition of 82 By Ann Ayres Fact Sheet for "Bonnie McCarroll - 1915 - Pendleton Round-Up" This sculpture is based on the above photo showing Idaho cowgirl Bonnie McCarroll being thrown from a horse named Silver during a bucking contest at the 1915 Pendleton Round-Up. The sculpture is currently in the "Women in Rodeo" exhibit at the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Hall of Fame in Pendleton, OR.  (1897-1929) Bonnie McCarroll, a champion bronc rider, made rodeo history in 1922 by winning the cowgirl bronc riding championship at the two most prestigious rodeos in the nation, Cheyenne Frontier Days and the first Madison Square Garden Rodeo. Already an accomplished rodeo performer, McCarroll dazzled kings, queens, dignitaries, an American president and countless rodeo fans across the world. Her tragic death at the 1929 Pendleton Round-Up changed the face of womens' rodeo. **Inductee 2006 National Cowgirl Hall of Fame **Inductee 2002 National Rodeo Hall of Fame |
