Ride ’em, cowboy! The bucking broncos aren’t making it easy for these cowboys, especially since many are under three feet tall, some not even in kindergarten yet.

Welcome to the Mini Bronc Riding event at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, celebrating its 120th anniversary this year! The huge two-week event every January (ending this year Jan. 25) draws ranchers, farmers, and city folk from all 50 states and 33 countries, typically more than 700,000 people, more than 60,000 some days.
