I didn't see his run, but I highly doubt that what he did would be considered abuse to a horse person. |

| I watched the video. He got after the horse with his rope. I don't think it's abuse. Looked like no more than what we do with a over and under. On the other hand two horses were euthanized because of injuries during the chuck wagon races. Now that is abuse! |

The chuck wagon race is an accident waiting to happen and the horses are always the victims. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | The deal with Tuff is you could tell he was ****ed and doing it in excess and at the wrong rodeo. I've seen guys over and under their horses with their ropes but its 2 cracks and they rope, not 6 times. |

 Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | If we want rodeo to be around for a long time, then contestants have to understand that cameras are always rolling....always! I've watched the video, and firmly believe the judges made the right call. This wasn't a PRCA rodeo, but I think you can expect to see the WPRA and PRCA get stricter over the next few years. That wasn't a hustle up to a calf, that was a temper fit. Imagine you've never been to a rodeo.....that was really ugly to watch. We all want rodeo to become more mainstream and to pay better, so that's going to mean more sponsor $$$ and ticket sales. No one wants to see that... 2 pops would've done the job. Tuf is a smart guy, he'll bounce back from this and I'm sure we'll see him winning lots of big $$$ soon. At the end of the day, a big invitational rodeo that isn't PRCA has it's own rules. Contestants are aware of them before they run, you can either choose to play by their rules, or let someone else have your spot that wants to compete for the huge purses they offer.
Just because some things have always been tolerated, doesn't make them right and it doesn't justify continuing to put up with them.

| I think they're saying that the video of him doing this wasn't a big deal compared to the videos of porn out there that's "acceptable". Lol. I think that's what they meant?? Idk. Haha
ETA: I didn't really think there was a threesome recorded at the stampede or anything. I didn't know what the DL was. Lol

| While I don't see what he did as abuse, he was clearly having a temper tantrum. There's a difference between asking for more speed and taking your frustration out on your horse. |

I saw that on instagram and am dying to know who the "bull riders" were. In the words of the great poet Ron Burgundy, "Stay classy, CS!". LOL |

| SKM - 2015-07-10 6:07 AM One last thought...one article said it was for what happened AFTER he got done roping. No one has that part on video. It could have very well been a combination of things and not just the over n undering in his run.
Yes some articles say it happened after the roping, some say during. CTV Calgary said on TV this morning that it was because of what happened during the run. So there's confusion about that. It was definitely a mistake on his part, although I can understand that he was ticked at his horse, he should have saved it for a different time, not for a highly scrutinized rodeo like the Stampede, it's comparable to spanking your kid, that's something that sometimes needs to be done but nowadays you just don't do that in a very public place. Just my 2 cents, I really don't care too much. I will still support Tuf, he's one of my favorite athletes and I'm sure his family won't lose respect because of this, not from anyone who knows anything about rodeo anyways! |
