Crazy Horse Stampede Rodeo
Jun 24, 2011
Photographer Jeremiah M. Murphy shot the 2011 Crazy Horse Stampede Rodeo last weekend. This year's rodeo honored the memory of Anne Ziolkowski Christensen. Anne, the sixth child of Crazy Horse sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski and Ruth Ziolkowski, passed away in May of this year. She founded the Crazy Horse Stampede Rodeo and was a driving force behind the rodeo. View more of Murphy's photos at Tumblr.

Rodeo queens have many working responsibilities to use their horsemanship skills in the course of a rodeo. Here, Miss Rodeo South Dakota, Vanessa Ternes of Belle Fourche on the left and Trisha Smeenk, Miss Black Hills Stock Show, share a light moment before they are called on to herd livestock or display sponsor flags.
