It would be misleading not to recognize that there was an Old World component that also competed with bucking bronco and other stampede events for acceptance in rural western society. In the April 1925 Gazette there is a report entitled “Wednesday Night at the Horse Show,” which gives a thorough account of an English equestrian show jumping competition between “the famous” Calgary horse, Barra Lad, and “the Edmonton horse, Bay Eagle.”43 “Other events … were judging of performance and conformation of saddle horses,” including “officers’ mounts and polo-ponies” as well as “the show of Bulls and baby beef.”
