I-SEE-U was originally purchased by Guy Weadick in 1918 from the American military, and he was called that because of the "I.C." that was branded upon his neck which meant "Inspected and Condemned". Guy Weadick would ride I-SEE-U in the 1919 Stampede. This drawing would also inspire Rich Roenisch to create one of his most famous pieces, "The Bronc Twister" which is currently located at the west side of the Sam Centre.
