Once the large buffalo herd of 1100 animals gets moving at Custer State Park in South Dakota, the cowboys are really there just to keep them going. If the herd breaks apart, there is not much a horse can do to stop it. The correct name for this animal is American Bison (Bison bison), but in the US you will hear buffalo as much as bison.

Thank you very much! You have a good eye - the rider is one of the wranglers and not one of the ten lucky "guest riders".

Like so many people have said....stunning photo!. I love the contrast of the rider against the repetition of all the bison in terms of shape, colour, light, sharpness. Beautiful composition. Nicely done.

Wow, Thanks so much for the very kind words. It was a wonderful trip and you really could feel the vibration from their passing through your feet - although I would not put it in the "earth shaking" catagory.
