Countless rodeos take place throughout the province. The granddaddy of them all is the annual Calgary Stampede, the richest rodeo competition in the world with more than $2 million in prizes to be won in calf roping, steer wrestling, bronco and bull riding, and barrel racing. Oh and let's not forget the famed chuckwagon races. There is nothing to compare to the thrill of horses, wagons and outriders thundering down the homestretch, dirt flying, the ground literally shaking under your feet.
