00:16:46.400Alright, we're going to move the saddle brawn tonight, there's another rough stock event in the sport of rodeo, however we're going to change the gear.
00:16:53.400Cowboy will now be using what we call an association saddle, the saddle has been modified however.
00:16:59.400Unlike yours and mine at home, we've taken the horn off for safety, Chris Coney,
00:17:03.400and slung the stirrups way forward in order to give the cowboy an opportunity to spur the ammo.
00:17:08.400Just like the bear that's riding, a wheel in the boot must be at the point, the horse is sober from the front feet, hit the ground the very first time.
00:17:14.400However, the bird stroke will be from the shoulders of the animal back to the castle of the saddle.
00:17:21.400The higher the level of difficulty from the horse, the higher the control from the cowboy, Dennis.
00:22:37.540All right, everybody safe, everybody sound. Jared Correa. All right, the same. Oh, maybe a different one. It's always confusing when the cheering section is cheering for two different people. You never know what part of the world you're in or if polygamy is legal.
01:32:42.080Hell of a time it you know, it's warmer than normal me to for a long weekend camping
01:32:47.780Yeah, you know, you're gonna get a little bit of cool weather for it anyways
01:32:50.780The bulls are kicking dust up on us to show they're excited and ready to get out. Yeah
01:32:56.420Yeah. Well, we're down here in Forest. We've brought a bunch of, pretty much we emptied out the Western Standards Calgary headquarters, brought everyone down. I don't know. I never agreed to pay anyone for it. I think everyone just came for fun.
01:33:08.960oh yeah uh no overtime paid for the weekend but uh we're out here in force having a great time
01:33:16.000uh so cory why don't you tell us uh what ty norcott's done um and kind of the pressures
01:33:22.640he's faced here we're at the first as far as i know this is the first illegal rodeo in the history
01:33:27.520of canada definitely the first history of alberta why don't you tell us what's going on yeah i've
01:33:31.440never heard of anything like this but it's just purely alberton as it gets i mean ty northcott
01:33:35.280for those who haven't seen the past coverage, is a man from a historic family in Alberta.
01:33:39.540They've been raising rodeo stock for generations, as is his wife.
01:33:43.920They're like so many businesses. They're going broke. They're in trouble.
01:33:46.900The lockdowns are killing them. They're going to win a solid year without rodeos last year.
01:33:50.580It looked like this year they were going to shut them down again.
01:33:52.680And he said, you know what, we're done. We're going ahead. We're holding one. I'm putting one on.
01:33:57.320And it was quite a road, you know, because at first there were a couple of, of course,
01:34:00.460athletes, rodeo associations, they had to sanction it.
01:34:02.880They pulled out because of pressure from AHS and threats.
01:34:05.780They threatened to decertify them, take away their charitable status.
02:10:12.380Sound guy, I know where you're trying to go with that sound guy, and I can tell you right now, it's far too far for me to be stripping in this arena.
02:10:24.100What do you mean, stripping in this? Sound guy knows what he's doing.
02:10:28.400I watched you do it in Edmonton one time. I almost got charged in Edmonton.
02:10:33.200I also watched you do it in a very muddy rodeo in British Columbia one time.
