A cowboy rides a bucking horse in a dirt arena during a rehearsal for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. He wears sheepskin chaps and a cowboy hat. Another man, possibly Johnny St. John, holds the horse's rope in the right midground. He jumps into the air and holds his hat up in his right hand. Another cowboy is next to a horse in the left background. A few spectators stand under a large tent canopy outside of the arena.
