Tipperary Statue

 We passed through Buffalo SD yesterday where I wanted to stop to take a picture of this statue of Tipperary, the famed bucking horse. Rejected in WW1 for being too wild he was used and abused in the rodeo arena. I’m reminded of Sheila Shafer who gave me a nice hard copy book of Tipperary’s life.
