I grew up on a farm just a few miles away from a neighbor who raced chucks (he has won the Stampede, no longer races) and once during a visit to his farm I had a chance to go and ride with him around his practice track.

Once the horses were hitched up, they wanted to GO GO GO. Those things start losing their minds when they even see a chuckwagon. They really do love to run.

I gotta say though, chuckwagon drivers are freaking nuts. Im a bit of a thrill seeker, I love adrenaline rush, high speed, heights, whatever but...
You'll never get me on a chuckwagon again. Hands down the scariest ride Ive ever been on.

As for this whole issue on animal rights at the Stampede... All I can say is I fear a day when the Stampede will be nothing but an art show of glory days gone by. Hope it never happens.
