I'm going to guess it belongs to Bill Ruger, Jr. |

Cubrock is correct.
Frederic Remington----1861-1909----made The Bronco Buster in 1895. Made trips to the West while the action was hot, drawing mostly, returning to his New York studio to paint and sculpt. Perhaps his most famous sculpture, the Bronco Buster, has been reproduced many times. No reproduction I've seen captures the quality of the here depicted original Remington. I should hope that the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, which I toured years ago with Ruger, Jr., and Python ace Jerry Moran, has an original or two. The Cody Museum belongs on anyone's trip west which brings them to that environ. Besides the fine firearms collection, the Indian art beautiful and an education into a culture we doomed but somehow must learn from and never let go of.
Attempted to show the motion I see in Remington's sculpture, as his art is a departure from traditional static statuary.
