Official Registered Trademark of Wyoming

The Bucking Horse and Rider is the registered trademark of Wyoming. This image is widely associated with Wyoming - even more so since the U.S. Mint featured the bucking horse and rider trademark on the Wyoming quarter.

Wyoming's first use of the Bucking Horse and Rider mark dates back to 1918 (perhaps earlier). The Bucking Horse and Rider was used as an insignia during World War I, worn by members of the Wyoming National Guard in France and Germany. Wyoming also recognizes rodeo as the official state sport.

The U.S. Mint's bicentennial commemorative quarter for Wyoming features the state nickname (The Equality State), and the outline of a cowboy and bucking bronco (the bucking horse & rider emblem is the official registered trademark of Wyoming, and rodeo is the state sport). Wyoming became the 44th state in 1890. Public domain image on Wikipedia.
