Summary

NoS synopsis: "Cowboys and Cossacks aren’t the only daredevil riders of today. Kindly glance at this lady - " L/S of a woman in Cowgirl outfit sitting astride a horse. L/S of the woman doing rodeo style stunts including rolling her body under the horses neck and back into the saddle. She then rolls under the horse’s belly and back into the saddle. "Miss McGinnis is the winner of many open competitions." More stunts are performed - all shot in open countryside. "Slow-motion reduces the speed but not the risk to the rider -!"
