Tom Three Persons was born on a Blood reserve. In 1912, he entered the Bronco Riding event at the Calgary Stampede and was the last rider to mount a horse called Cyclone. Cyclone had a reputation for bucking off every rider, but
Three Persons managed to stay on and became the World Champion in the bucking horse section. He took home as his prize a handmade saddle, gold buckle and $1,000. He went on to become a successful rancher and died at the age of 63.
