The bold rider

Puzzle

I heard a man boasting the other day about his horsemanship, and among other things told how he had refused all assistance in subduing a vicious horse which failed to throw him from the saddle. Shortly afterwards I met a friend who had witnessed the feat of the bold rider, and who gave me such a humorous description of the incident that it struck me as being worthy of illustration in puzzle form. See if you can find the locality of the accident concealed in the description of the picture.
