Horses in Unexpected Places

"This year, for the first time ever, the official Calgary Stampede poster features a barrel-racer - one of a unique breed of Canadian rodeo performers, all of them women, who compete on the North American pro circuit." Thus begins a recent article and photo diary in Saturday Night magazine (08 July). The article - entitled Ring Leader - describes the event and shows a number of pictures of both behind the scenes activity and competition.
