This article examines the development of the bucking bronc as an icon of modernity, business, and tourism promotion through a study of living horses and their representation at the Calgary Stampede during the 1920s. It draws upon the management records of the rodeo, tourism theory on back stage and front region performance, and theory on human-animal relationships. The little known mare Greasy Sal serves as a case study exposing which aspects of their horses’ lives Stampede managers sought to keep private in order to mass produce the displays of bucking central to the bronc ideal for locals and visitors
