DescriptionTwenty men with the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Posse pose for a group photograph at wooden horse stalls on a flat piece of dirt land near Second Street and Old Posse Trail Northwest in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A race track is in the background and a truck is parked to the left of the frame. Twelve of the men are sitting on horses within the stalls. Six men stand along the edge of the stalls, leaning against the chain-link fence behind them. The first man in the front, standing on the stall, is Boyd Craig. The men are wearing Sherrif's Posse attire: dark button up shirts, white cowboy hats, and boots. The men are all waving their cowboy hats toward the camera. Some of the men are wearing white scarves around their necks.
