Black Rodeo Steer Wrestling Needlepoint Canvas

The athleticism and strength of cowboys, horses, and cattle alike are all celebrated in one of the most iconic American events: the Rodeo! The history of cowboys in America is incomplete without a full appreciation and recognition of the role of black, hispanic, and indigenous cowboys played in developing the ranching lifestyle of the American West. 

The Black Rodeo collection is a part of the Heritage Collection collaboration with Kathryn McLaurin. 

Steer Wrestling is a rodeo event in which a horse-mounted rider chases a steer, drops from the horse to the steer, then wrestles the steer to the ground by grabbing its horns and pulling it off-balance so that it falls to the ground. This needlepoint design captures the flash of a moment in time when the cowboy is mid-descent from his horse as he tries to wrestle a steer to the ground.

Design is 6x6" on 18 mesh; total canvas dimension is 10x10". StitchPerfect Printed.
