BiographyHistory

Lance Skuthorp was famous as a buckjump rider, touring the country in Australia's first professional rodeo from the 1890s until the 1930s. His formal education consisted of two years at Narrabri Public School, New South Wales. Australia's most prestigious rough riding event, the Lance Skuthorpe Prize, is named after Skuthorp. His birth name was Skuthorp and he used this spelling for most of the time, although other family members tended to spell the name Skuthorpe.

Skuthorp also wrote A Key to Horse Language (date unknown, possibly 1930 or 1939).
