Summary:
Two cowboys mounted on horses, symbolizing the solid friendship of the old west and the comradery of the Range Riders. The two horses have their heads down and are walking up a rocky slope. The cowboys both wear brimmed hats and chaps. The cowboy on the proper right points to the right with his proper right hand.
