Buffalo Horse
By Frederic Remington · 1907
Power. Conflict. Frontier Survival.
Buffalo Horse is a dramatic and historically significant bronze depicting the perilous ritual of buffalo running on the American plains. In this intense composition, a Native American hunter attempts to overpower a powerful buffalo — but the animal surges upward beneath the horse, throwing the rider into the air in a split-second moment of danger and unpredictability.
The sculpture captures raw motion and tension, showcasing Remington’s remarkable ability to freeze a violent and dynamic encounter in bronze. The energy of horse, rider, and buffalo collide in a composition that reflects both the strength of the animal and the courage of the hunter.
An original casting of Buffalo Horse is displayed at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, underscoring its importance within Remington’s body of work.
