Job Description: Usually working in pairs, pick-up horses and riders are responsible for assisting the rodeo competitor to get off the bucking animal safely.

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a horse show — the impeccably groomed horses, the polished riders, the vibrant atmosphere, the thrill of victory. A ribbon passed from one hand to another becomes a shining testament to hours of dedication, passion, and commitment. Amidst the buzz, it might also be easy to overlook the lady holding the basket of ribbons, who is smiling ear to ear as she celebrates your victory. You might not realize that it is her victory, too.

A Lifetime of Helping Horses - In emergency situations my mom always said to look for the helpers, help the helpers, and if you can’t find a helper - be one. Dr. Susan Raymond, Communications and Programs Officer at Equine Guelph, at the University of Guelph in Ontario, has been helping the helpers since 2014.
