Steamboat and rider made from old license plates
Albany County Office Building
Laramie, WY
May 2019
The bucking horse (Steamboat) and rider have been on the Wyoming license plate since 1936. Information and history of the design can be found on the Wyoming Secretary of State website.

Information about the rider and the horse can be found here.

The Wyoming license plate is one of the most collectible plates because of the iconic image of Steamboat and his rider.

  2. That is a cool piece of art.

    In Florida we had oranges between the letters and the numbers. To me they looked more like peaches. LOL Here we have a keystone between the letters and numbers.

    Steamboat and rider is much more interesting.

  3. Folk art can be really interesting. What is terrific is that some one is decorating public building with art that has meaning to the residents. Thanks for sharing.

  5. Very cool piece of art. I see that Wyoming license plate a lot, especially when we go to the Black Hills area. But I never knew the horse had a name. Interesting!

  9. Here in Maryland, we have a license plate with a blue heron and a crab on it. They aren't bucking. This is a great iconic image for Wyoming!
