Nestled in the heart of Western Canada, Alberta is a province renowned for its diverse and captivating landscapes. The Rocky Mountains dominate the horizon to the west and rolling prairies takeover moving eastward. I'm sure you know Alberta's landscape for it's incredible lakes and skiing in Banff and Jasper.
Western ranching and cowboy culture have deep roots in Alberta's heritage, contributing to the province's distinctive identity. The vast expanses of land are home to countless cattle ranches, where ranchers carry on traditions passed down through generations. Here, the spirit of the cowboy thrives, embodied by rugged individuals who work tirelessly to tend to their herds amidst the sprawling prairies. Rodeos, chuckwagon races, and country fairs are integral to Alberta's cultural calendar.
Today, I'm lucky enough to join one of those men on a day in the life of a Canadian Rodeo Cowboy in Alberta as he prepares for the Calgary Stampede Rodeo.
It all begins at the Stampede Ranch outside of Calgary...

What a beautiful setting. Even though they’re working hard, you’re absolutely right that they must never get tired of that. Great video!

[@RSVD84]

This makes me miss my brother who on his own learned how to train horses through a magazine. He was so dedicated to it that he was actually a good horse trainer. Maybe even a horse whisperer. But sadly we lost him and his wife 8 years ago on the same day. They loved each others so much. It was a car accident that took there lives.

[@jermainejohnson7026]

When I grew up my dad side of the family all cowboys and rodeo’s. I’m the only one that didn’t follow the way. Don’t mean I don’t know it. I was taught and raised at a very young age I never forgot. Blessed to know how these things

[@DBistrov]

Thanks Gareth, I see you greatly your time in Alberta . I live in Calgary last 28 years and there is Californian showing me whole new view to cowboys tradition. Yahoo 🤠

[@obvdiego]

[@MickAngelhere]

Watching this has brought back so many memories for me , for I used to ride horses a lot when I was in my teens and early twenties. Worked on a cattle station in the Northern Territory, horses are amazing animals and yep they are all very much individuals in character. Brilliant video and you look a natural riding the horse there👍

[@carsonsui4285]

Wow amazing video sir! Not many people know about cutting, but it is my favorite sport, and I love how you showcased this sport and lifestyle so well! Amazing job!

[@LyMan86]

Your country is so beautiful, I've been following your channel for a long time❤❤❤

[@weston5577]

The thumbnail made me watch, I compete in reined cow horse (archa and Nrcha) at silver slate and claresholm often, cutting and cow horse, this is awesome

[@LakeConstan]

Gareth: I thought of you so often during my recent cancer radiation treatments, which concluded yesterday. Your courage, focus and perseverance inspire me. I hope you're doing well. Great video, BTW. You are welcome in Canada anytime.

[@GreenWitch1]

I never cut cows, but I was a rodeo rider for many years in my youth. Love a well trained horse!! Good show Gareth 😃

[@linnjensen7469]

I know the silver slate arena very well it is just on the south side of Nanton Alberta but I have never stopped there I watched the arena get built several years ago so I better stop in the next time I am up the road

[@brandonmoore2237]

Awesome episode, man! I thoroughly enjoyed your Calgary episodes. Being a cowboy looks like fun...but a lot of very hard work. Loving the Day in the Life series!

[@blaiire2923]

was surprised when my hometown of rochester new york was mentioned ! glad to know there’s a youtuber also from there 🫶❤️

[@amymoorehead7185]

Always great to watch a good cutter work. Thanks for the video!

[@victoraguirre3518]

My first thought when you came across that "knot" on the horses tail was that it was a dingleberry, and then you mentioned it! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ronaldmiller2740]

Are you at what they call the stampede ranch in Longview and just how do you get to it

[@seanwagner6992]

Great video. But is Steak Wrap the Canadian term for Carne Asada Burrito? Just wondering. 🤔

[@maplejakee]

Being a rich cowboy with a ton of beautiful land and a hot wife is the dreammmm lmao

[@Ianguntherbiggestfan]

On my dad and mom’s side we have 1 ranch and it’s 130,000 acres in Wyoming but I’m in between rodeoing and ranching what should I do?

[@daciefusjones8128]

since when is the sport of millionaires a rodeo event. I don't think Jb Mauney would agree with that.
