70 years ago this week, from the Sept. 13, 1948 issue — LIFE VISITS THE TULSA RIDING CLUB—Oklahoma youngsters learn riding, roping and bulldogging to uphold their state's reputation. According to LIFE, "Oklahomans like most Westerners are singularly proud of a heritage which, among other things, involves consummate mastery of the durable cow pony. To make sure future generations do not lose sight of this cherished riding tradition enthusiastic adults in Tulsa organized a Junior Riding and Roping Club open to any youngster who could buy or borrow a horse." This image ran with the following caption: "At the evening campfire two of the club's youngest ridrs rest on a western saddle after stuffing themselves with sandwiches, hot dogs and pop."
