The athlete-medical dynamic in rodeo is completely different than that of a pro football or hockey team, whose medical staff has the power to determine if an athlete is healthy enough to step on the field or ice
Dr. Blaine Bugg, left, treats barrel racer Lynette Brodoway at the Calgary Stampede's rodeo medical clinic in Calgary on July 4.The rodeo’s medical clinic under the grandstand is a revolving door that starts whirling before the rodeo performance and is still spinning afterward.
The field includes four-time world saddle bronc champion Zeke Thurston of Big Valley, Alta., and 2023 Calgary Stampede bull riding champion Jared Parsonage of Maple Creek, Alta. “We don’t stop talking. We’re educating,” Bugg said. “The strength of our program comes from educating the athlete, what their injury is, what they need to do next, how we can help them.
Saddle bronc rider Layton Green of Meeting Creek, Alta., recalls his torn abdominal muscle treated in the clinic in 2017 and scoring well enough to finish second to Thurston in the Stampede. “To be able to walk in there and see that team there, it feels good to get worked on and get feeling your best for one of the most important rodeos of the year essentially.”
