Since moving to Medicine Hat, Alberta a few months ago, we have been able to take in some great entertainment, and there has been so much to see in do. The 2022 PBR Canada Cup Series Event hit last night and what a great event it was. The Co-op Place was where is was held and man - our first time there- huge place! From the moment we got there, there was an excitement all around. The bulls were all brought in and housed near the arena, and once the event started, the riders were introduced. 

The PBR (Professional Bull Riders) was created in 1992 when a group of 20 ambitious bull riders decided to flee the rodeo scene and bring more attention to professional bull riding. Headquartered in Pueblo, CO, the PBR expanded in 2006 and brought the brand to Canada.

The PBR’s cowboy athletes have to be physically strong, mentally tough and well conditioned to survive the week-in, week-out rigors of the Toughest Sport on Earth! Good physical and mental preparations are critical to success in the sport and also help mitigate the effects of inevitable injuries.

Bulls range from roughly 1,200 pounds to more than 2,000 pounds!

The rider must ride with only one hand. If any part of the rider’s free arm comes in contact with the bull or their body, the rider is disqualified and the clock will stop. If the rider is bucked off or the clock is stopped for a disqualification prior to the 8 second buzzer, the rider receives no score.

The event was a perfect bucket list check off,  and highly recommend to see at least once in your lifetime.

Following a one-week break, the 2022 PBR Canada Sup Series, presented by Wrangler, will next travel to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and SaskTel Centre on Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29. Action for the PBR Saskatoon Classic, presented by Redhead Equipment and CASE IH, will get underway nightly at 7:00 p.m. MT.
