Novice Bronc Riders Take Trophies
Hometown favorite Connor Hamilton rode his way to the novice bareback riding bronze at the Stampede, after making an 80 point ride Saturday, to go along with the 75.5 from earlier in the Stampede. The former Junior A hockey player only took up rodeo recently, so it was quite an accomplishment to take the title at his first Stampede. Lane Cust of Ardmore claimed the novice saddle bronc honors in his third Stampede appearance, after making a stellar 82 point on his first horse, and then adding in a 77.5 in the Finals.
Tribute to a Bullfighter
On the final Friday of the rodeo bullriders gathered to thank bullfighter Scott Byrne for his years of great service in cowboy protection. Byrne has decided to spend more time at home in Manitoba, and has said this will be his last Stampede.
Boys Steer Riding Champion
Grady Smeltzer left no doubt about his desire to be the 2015 Calgary Stampede steer riding champion. While a 71 point ride got him to Friday’s Finals in that event, only he and Owen Berreth made the whistle on their second steer. Smeltzer, from Claresholm, made an exceptional 86.5 point ride on his, to claim first overall.
