Bull Bustin' Calgary Style!

We kicked off Stampede by attending the annual Bull Bustin' event at the Ranchman last night. Friends Guy and Suzanne joined us for some "up close and personal" views of the bulls (and the cowboys) .

The event was sponsored in part by Mammoet Canada, and we were lucky enough to sit in their section right over the bull pens. Thanks, Mammoet and Russ Watters! I am used to watching the bull riders on the Jumbotron in the Astrodome, so getting to watch the event this close was a real treat. Enjoy the pictures!

These are the bull riders.

The bull chute was right below us, where all the cowboys are...

Bulls exit right....
I love this picture. After the rider jumped off or was bucked off, this cowboy would lasso the bulls horns and try and drag them towards the exit gate. Sometimes the bulls did not comply....

Howdy, Pardner!

This Caddy must be from Texas! They wouldn't let me drive it....


Same car different cowboy..

Two cute cowgirls "living large!"
