FATHER of RODEO & HELL’S

Earl Bascom -Born in 1906 in Utah, Bascom rodeoed through the rough 1920s–40s. He rode broncs like Hell’s Angel and designed gear-from the bucking chute to the hornless saddle-that still shapes the sport today. Hell’s Angel-A fierce bronc true to its name, was known for unseating even the best riders. Horses like this gave rodeo its outlaw edge and made legends of cowboys like Bascom.

ECHO OF MANY

Not one voice but countless, rising in silence — echoes that endure through dust and time.

The ancestors remain, their strength alive in every shadow.

“The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.” — Cicero

WHISPERS OF HEAVEN

Born of light, their presence is felt more than seen — guardians moving in silence.

“Angels are the guardians of hope and wonder, the keepers of magic and dreams.” — Anonymous

TILL DUST DO WE PART

Bonnie & Clyde

They rode through the 1930s like smoke and gunfire, a pair bound by dust, bullets, and devotion. To some, they were criminals; to others, a legend of love and rebellion that could not be torn apart.

“To few it’ll be grief, to the law a relief — but it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde.” — Bonnie Parker

EARTH & SKY

“One grounded in height, the other lifted in flight — the giraffe and the bird remind us to dream while staying rooted.”

“The giraffe sees the horizon, the bird carries the sky — together they remind us to stand tall and fly free.”

OUTLAW KING of DALLAS

Clyde Chestnut Barrows (1909-1934)

Born in Texas dirt, Clyde Barrow rose from car thief to Public Enemy No. 1.
The papers crowned him the Outlaw King of Dallas — a rebel who ruled with bullets instead of laws.

“We’d rather be dead than caught.” — Clyde Barrow

LOVE & LOYALTY

Part of the “Western Gems Series”

CLYDE’S GIRL

Clyde’s Rose - Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (1910-1934)

Bonnie Parker bloomed in smoke and gunfire, fierce beside her outlaw king.
She was called Clyde’s Rose — beauty with thorns, riding love straight into legend.

“Some day they’ll go down together; they’ll bury them side by side.” — Bonnie Parker

DAYBREAK SENTINEL

The rooster’s crow heralds the sunrise, symbolizing renewal, hope, and the promise of a new day.

“When the rooster crows, the night is no more.” — traditional PROVERB saying, meaning light always conquers dark.

WHISKEY ROSE

She bloomed in dust and gun smoke, a beauty with thorns — a woman too wild to tame and too bold to forget. In the spirit of the West’s renegade queens, she stood fierce between law and legend.

“Well-behaved women seldom make history.” — Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

THE FIRST CHAMPION - Jane Mayo

In 1949, she blazed into history as the first WPRA barrel racing world champion, riding with grit and fire.
Her victories carved a place for women in rodeo, proving speed and spirit belong to the Wild Ones.

“A great horse has no trainer, just a passenger to share the ride with.” — Kay Lynn Schulz
