After a night of uncertainty and colic surgery, Jackie Ganter and her big bay, Tycoon, shut the clock off at 17.66 seconds to win Round 1 of their pool at the Calgary Stampede.
“God prevailed right there, for my horse last night and for Tycoon today. It’s unbelievable. It pales in comparison to my horse being alive right now but I’m thankful to be here in Calgary,” Ganter said.
Tycoon got the call at a rodeo where Ganter says the fans and the atmosphere in unlike any other. Ganter is the No. 11 ranked barrel racer in the WPRA World Standings and it is looking like she might climb the standings after Calgary.
