My intent was not to stereotype everyone in Calgary as a hill-billy, and if you go back and read my comments I believe I made no reference to that. However, the Stampede for putting it on and the Chuckwagon event are in my opinon Hill-billy. The mentality to continually do the same event with the same risks year after year. Anyone would be foolish to think the drivers don't push these horses well-being beyond what would be considered humane, money and enteraintment is on the line.
