A fellow photographer and I were talking with Fayth Holloway and her boyfriend Haden Bethel before the start of the Osage County Free Fair’s OCCA Ranch Rodeo in Pawhuska Saturday night. She informed me that cowboys are the best type of men and that I should get myself one. It was seconds later I took this shot.

But Holloway is tougher than she looks. She is only 13 and the only female bronc rider at the Junior Ranch Rodeo Association (JRRA) rodeo earlier that day. There is probably a reason she has the reins.
