Descriptionlifetime cast, foundry number 20Label TextWith his sculpture of The Broncho Buster, Remington created an image of the cowboy taming the Wild West. In the medium of bronze, he produced a sense of tension. The horse rears dramatically. The cowboy loses some control since his foot is out of the stirrup. Yet he remains in the saddle.
