Big Changes Coming for the Daddy of ‘em All in 2026 — by Wayne Hassinger, Photojournalist — 3H Photography/3H Rodeo
How did we slip into June already? I swear I started writing this blog in March, had it nearly completed in early May, and we’re already into June?!! We’re now into the summer run, so I’d better hurry up and get my thoughts shared on the big changes coming to Cheyenne Frontier Days. There are a lot of great storylines so far this season with the PRCA announcing the move to Cheyenne: Rusty Wright going on a heater early on, Shad Mayfield taking more time to have his other hip operated on, and most recently Ky Hamilton & Hayden Welsh being drafted onto PBR Teams while keeping the PRCA their…

Tales from Nature: “Blondie” – by Wayne Hassinger, 3H Photography
Welcome back to Tales From Nature blog brought to you by 3H Photography. I’m excited to share a great experience from a few years back along with several of the limited edition pictures that came from the experience. “Blondie” is definitely one of my most awe-inspiring experiences out in the wild, and it is my hope that you can feel the excitement of the encounter. “Blondie” Late October in the Tetons means there’s a chance of snow at any moment. The elk are recovering from the rut, the majority of the tourists have gone home, and the bears are preparing for a long winter’s nap. As the grizzlies ready for…

Frozen Fury on the Plains Bronc Futurity – Through the Lens of 3H Rodeo – by Wayne Hassinger, Photojournalist – 3H Photography/3H Rodeo
Two weeks ago, I finally got back in the dirt at the Frozen Fury on the Plains Bronc Futurity at the Archer Complex in Cheyenne—and it felt good to be home behind the lens. There’s just something about the smell of arena dirt, the energy of the crowd, and the sound of broncs being loaded in the chutes that flips a switch for me every time. The Frozen Fury on the Plains Bronc Futurity, presented by Pine Bluffs Distilling along with Hell on Wheels Rodeo Company, Visit Cheyenne, and Laramie County Events, had been building momentum for several years, and this year’s event proved exactly why. The stands were full…

Heading into Vegas: 5 Big Storylines for the 2025 NFR — Through the Lens of 3H Rodeo – by Wayne Hassinger, Photojournalist – 3H Photography/3H Rodeo
As we prepare for the energy, excitement, and suspense of what is the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR), I thought I’d share some storylines heading into this year’s Super Bowl of Rodeo. It is important to note at the onset, while I capture a lot of rodeo action through the lens, I am not a “carded” PRCA photographer and thus do not have access to “shoot” the National Finals Rodeo. PRCA photographers must go through a comprehensive process to get their card, and even then, they must be selected to shoot the NFR. While I await news on my recent PRCA application, I continue “shooting” amateur, youth, and pro rodeos…

In this series, I’ll share the action from everywhere it gets a little western – inside the arena as well as from behind the chutes and the practice pen – all from the wide-open skies of rodeos and eventing across Wyoming and the Mountain States. At 3H Rodeo, we don’t just photograph rodeos—we live and breathe the western lifestyle and capture its essence in pictures…

Laramie’s Higher Ground Fair 2016
A new regional fair to celebrate rural living in the Rocky Mountains is coming to Laramie September 24 and 25. It’s been said there’s no such thing as an original idea, but according to Gayle Woodsum, a long-time community organizer and founder of the fair’s sponsor, Feeding Laramie Valley, mixing great traditional ideas in a new way can result in something better than the original. The Higher Ground Fair is designed to bring together a truly diverse mix of participants and fairgoers as it provides space for valuing the intersection of music, art, food, cultural awareness, traditional family farming and ranching, new agriculture, gardening, health and wellness, social action, animals,…

Bill Sniffin: My Wyoming
MY WYOMING — by Bill Sniffin Smoky times remind of state’s worst fires As I write this, the beautiful view of the Wind River Mountains out of my window is obscured. It is so smoky we are leaving our windows shut because it smells like a brush fire a short distance away. In this case, that brush fire is 1,000 miles away. Northern California and parts of Oregon and Washington are burning up. This smoke is covering up towns all over Wyoming especially in the Big Horn Basin and Wind River Basin. It is hard to find a city or town from Cheyenne to Evanston or Powell to Gillette in…
