BREAKING: Horse injured during Saturday evening chuckwagon races at the Calgary Stampede.
According to the Calgary Herald, the injury happened during Heat 8 of the races, when Chad Fike’s wagon didn’t finish the race. Fike received “no time” and had “pulled up” in the back part of the track. No immediate report about the horse’s condition was made available. The VHS continues to monitor the situation and will share any updates once they are available.
This chuckwagon races have a long and troubling history of animal injuries and deaths. The high speeds, tight turns, and chaotic conditions put horses at serious risk.
Public concern is growing. Polling from 2024 shows that more than half of Calgarians oppose chuckwagon events. The time to end these dangerous races is now.
