These men might shortly be riding on the backs of bulls. On the other hand, they may be part of the supporting cast awaiting the start of the event. I found them standing together on a stairway at the back of the arena. The hand railings embracing them form powerful diagonals that pull the eye through the image and compare the symbolic white and black hats. The sign behind them appropriately bears an image of rearing horse. The signage dominates the façade of a make-believe western town that provides the backdrop for the event.
