This was shot at the rodeo college in Odessa, Texas. These kids are great, and their coach is a real inspiration. They set up an opportunity for me to come and take pictures; more paintings from Odessa are in the works.

A prominent West Texas businessman donated one of the largest and best-equipped equine facilities in the nation to Odessa College in late 1997. Located in nearby Gardendale, Texas, the 120-acre ranch, now called the Odessa College Rodeo and Agriculture Graham Center, was donated for the enhancement of the Odessa College Rodeo Team and for the development of programs for students majoring in agriculture.
