School at Lakeland has been back for two weeks and the Rodeo Club is in full swing.
Most people would think that the Rodeo Club would be just for individuals who have horses, but there are many other ways to be involved. From anywhere from helping out with rodeos and practice and even going to the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton.
Throughout the year there are three Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeos, Alumni Rodeo, and Fun Rodeos and Barrel Jackpots each month. CIRA rodeos are for Rodeo Team members only, but the rest of the events are for all club members and the community. Fun Rodeos and Barrel Jackpots will be starting within the next month. Fun Rodeos cost $10.00 an event, and barrel jackpots are run in 3D style, and cost $25.00 a horse.
Lee MacMillan is the Rodeo Club’s head coach, with assistance from Rusty Quam with the barrels, poles, and goat tying. Practice nights are open to all students on the rodeo club except for Thursdays; they are only open to Rodeo Team members. Monday nights are also open to community members. Practice nights include:
 |
