Horseback riders ride a drill in a darkened arena, riding in pairs. Riders are wearing LED-lit costumes, and the horses have LED lights on their bridles and in their tails. This photo was taken at the 2024 National Western Stock Show in Denver.

A young trick rider on horseback performs the "Death Drag" trick. Her horse is loping around the arena while she is hanging off of the left side, her fingers in the dirt, and her left toe is pointing in the air. She has a smile on her face. This photo was taken at the 2024 National Western Stock Show & rodeo in Denver.

Four horseback riders wearing costumes and carrying flags gallop in unison next to each other in the arena. Their horses are matched exactly next to each other, and they are leaning as they run fast. This photo was taken at the 2024 National Western Stock Show & Rodeo in Denver.
