Here the president is not the one in the saddle. Theodore Roosevelt stands and watches as his son, Theodore Jr., takes a horse over a fence. Made around 1907, near the end of Roosevelt's White House years, the photograph reflects the family's love of riding and the outdoor vigor Roosevelt promoted as part of his public image. The copyright notice credits Clinedinst, the Washington photographer who made many portraits of the Roosevelt family, so the picture shows a family pastime presented for public view.
