Hey there, coloring book fans! I want to share a little story with you about where I grew up. I'm from the small town of Okmulgee, Oklahoma where every year we had a really special event called the Black Rodeo. People came from all over the country to see it and even to participate in it.The Black Rodeo was like nothing else. It was a time when everyone got together to celebrate our heritage and culture. There were horses and cowboys and cowgirls, and lots of fun things to do. It was a time when we could all come together and have a great time.As a child, I loved going to the Black Rodeo. I would watch the cowboys and cowgirls riding their horses, bull riding competitions, barrel racing, and more, it was so exciting! And there were all kinds of competitions for kids too, like Mutton Bustin', where you try to ride a sheep like it's a horse.Now that I'm an Adult who designs coloring books, I want to share some of that excitement with all of you. That's why I created a coloring book full of cute pictures of African American children some riding horses and participating in rodeo events, just like we used to do back home.I hope you enjoy coloring in these pages as much as I enjoyed creating them. And maybe, just maybe, they'll inspire you to dream big and have your own exciting adventures someday. Let's have fun with our Rodeo Rookies and start coloring!

Greetings and welcome to our coloring book collection celebrating the beauty and strength of African Americans and their history in the rodeo Arena! As a designer, I am thrilled to share with you the story of my upbringing and the inspiration behind our latest series.Growing up in the small town of Okmulgee, Oklahoma I was fortunate to be surrounded by a rich African American cowboy culture. Every year, the town hosted the Black Rodeo, an event that brought people from all over the country to witness the extraordinary talent and athleticism of our community. As a child, I was mesmerized by the grace and power of the horses, and the courage and tenacity of the riders.The Black Rodeo was not just a sporting event, but a celebration of our heritage and a testament to the resilience and strength of our people. It was a reminder that, despite the many obstacles and challenges we faced, we could persevere and excel. And it is this spirit of determination and excellence that we hope to capture in our coloring books.Our collection showcases the beauty and majesty of African American women and their horses, highlighting the unique bond and partnership between rider and mount. We hope that these pages will inspire you to explore your own creativity and to celebrate the power and beauty of the African American equestrian tradition.Thank you for joining us on this journey, and we look forward to sharing many more beautiful coloring books with you in the future!
