Bronco Bustin' Betty

Horse and rider measure 30" tall x 25" wide x 12" deep.

Bronco Bustin' Betty is a tribute to the women bronco riders of the early 1900's. Fannie Sperry Steele, Marie Gibson, and Alice and Marge Greenough were world-class champions in bucking horse competitions and rodeos and are all members of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Betty is a soft sculpture art doll. She and her horse both have a wire armature and needle sculpted features. Betty wears a divided riding skirt with a double row of buttons. Her western gingham check blouse features contrasting yoke, collar and cuffs and white cotton fringe. Her hat is felted, with leather lacing trim. Her fringed boots are made of suede.
