Abstract

At quarter to 11 on Friday morning, only two hours after galloping around the Belmont Park oval, I'll Have Another yawned contentedly in his stall. He licked his lips. He looked as if he could not be happier. The reason for this state was Larry Jones. Standing in a pile of straw next to I'll Have Another, the burly Jones ran a hand-held massager the size of a power tool along the chestnut colt's hindquarters and back. The colt's entire body vibrated under the pressure from the so-called Thumper, which also serves as Jones's nickname. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Calgary Stampede is a ten-day Western-themed festival that features a rodeo, exhibits, concerts, and more. It is also the name of the non-profit foundation that organizes the event. The Stampede is held in Victoria Park in Calgary in the Canadian province of Alberta. The first stampede was held in 1912, and the event has grown to attract one million visitors annually, contributing more than $500 million to the local economy. The Stampede has been inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, but has been the subject of controversy because of the deaths of numerous horses that competed and performed as part of the event.
