In “Bragging Rights,” R. Clay Booth captures the essence of a cowboy who defies conventional expectations. This bronze sculpture featuring a figure who, clad in a derby hat and a sharp suit rather than the traditional cowboy gear, rides a bucking bronc with unparalleled ease. The sculpture portrays this unconventional cowboy as he handles the wild horse with such skill that it leaves all spectators in awe, challenging their preconceived notions of what a cowboy should look like. The dynamic pose of the bronc, paired with the composed demeanor of the man, tells a story of mastery and confidence that transcends outward appearances. “Bragging Rights” is a powerful statement about individuality and breaking stereotypes. It invites viewers to reconsider the true measure of a cowboy, not by his attire but by the spirit and competence he embodies.
