CHEYENNE, Wyo.—Sitting on the curb under the golden gleam of the Wyoming State Capitol, I have a front-row seat to the American West.
A line of vintage horse-drawn carriages parades up the avenue, followed by rodeo queens from around the country, clip-clopping as they ride past on horseback. Even the state senators and governor know how to ride horses—and do so in Cheyenne’s Grand Parade.
