The wild, Wild Horse Race at the Calgary Police Rodeo

The Wild Horse Race is another dangerous event for competitors. Three person teams have to catch a horse, mount and ride it across the finish line. Although these horses don't want to be caught nor ridden, hence the danger.
These will kick, bite, anything not to be ridden.
It was one of numerous events at the Calgary Police Rodeo held in Cochrane, Alberta Aug. 12/23. The Rodeo started in 1983 and is an annual event. For the first decade or more only police personnel competed in the rodeo, but it has opened up for Fire, EMS, and Alberta Health Service personnel to compete.
Unfortunately I didn't do a great job filming the event as I was taking and concentrating on stills rather than the video. If you can, blow the image up a little. Thanks for watching.

[@thepassionatepackrat1988]

Cool eh!

[@concretebuddy59]

That was amazing. I like it when the announcer says "Don't be scared of them."

[@thepassionatepackrat1988]

Easier said when u are safe, in a booth.🤠

[@davidm686]

Man that is wild! My daughter is obsessed with wanting to go to the rodeo again. We have one near our house but nothing like this

[@thepassionatepackrat1988]

Rodeo is rodeo, basically the same everywhere. We have our big 3 day rodeo Labour Day weekend if u want to come up. All the same events except for poker. Most rodeos don't do poker, not sure why not.

[@undraftedplayer]

[@GrannyFilmingAgain]

Reminds me of the wild bull rides

[@thepassionatepackrat1988]

Now which wild bull rides are u referring to Granny?

@@thepassionatepackrat1988 lol I can’t be saying everything but at a certain place I use to frequently occasionally frequent sometimes lol lol

"Grab his tail. You'll get a real kick out of that." LOL. Reminds me a bit if the prison rodeos that they used to have outside of Dallas.

[@thepassionatepackrat1988]

I guess this is the opposite of a prison rodeo. Been to a police rodeo, a bullarama, a little britches, a high school, a gay rodeo, but never a prison rodeo. Although I have played baseball in two different prisons. That was intimidating.🤪

[@3GoodNerds]

@@thepassionatepackrat1988 They stopped doing the prison rodeos quite a while ago. People were complaining that the prisoners were getting hurt. Actually saw the Judds performing on what was essentially the bed of a pickup truck at one of them. The event that I remember most was they'd put some cash in between a bull's horns and if you could get it, you got to keep it.
