Starting back in September of 1866 and continuing during present time the Buffalo Soldiers have been an illustrious group. They’ve fought in virtually every conflict since their inception with honor and success, from the Indian wars where they got their name from the tribes they fought, to current conflicts such as in Iraq.

This particular group was displaying their abilities at the Fort Lupton Trapper days event in Ft. Lupton Colorado and showed their incredible riding skills to the onlookers. This particular maneuver is called the Right Wheel where the members pivot around the rider on one end completing a circle. Excellent riders and showmen they performed a large repertoire of cavalry commands on horseback. Times have changed and they no longer fight on horseback and they still serve as proudly and honorably as when they were first formed.
