George Fletcher Rough-Stock Rider
Located in downtown Pendleton, the George Fletcher mural celebrates one of the greatest Black rough-stock riders in the early days of rodeo. He’s most famous for the pivotal World Title saddle bronc-riding contest at the 1911 Pendleton Round-Up, his hometown rodeo. In 1969 he became one of 10 people inducted into the first class of the Pendleton Round-Up Hall of Fame. His story set in motion the conversation of race for cowboys in the sport of rodeo, paving the way for Black rodeo competitors for years to come. Read up on him as one of Pendleton’s pioneers who shaped the way for diversity. The George Fletcher mural was installed in October 2021, painted by Forest For the Trees artist Jeremy Nichols in partnership with the Wildhorse Foundation, Pendleton Foundation Trust and City of Pendleton Arts Commission.
