Three Alberta Cowboys Stage Private Bull Riding Performance For Royal Couple
Three Alberta cowboys are going to stage a private bull riding performance for the Royal couple, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, next week on Thursday night. Devon Mezei, Jesse Torkelson and Scott Schiffner will perform their bull riding feat in a 40X60 foot pen stationed in front of the BMO Center outside the Calgary Stampede grounds. There will be no other audience and no television cameras to give footage of the bull riding act.
All three bull riding performers selected, have carved a niche for themselves in the past. Mezei ranks second in the Canadian standings. Torkelson is the reigning Canadian champion and Schiffner has the highest paid rodeo career of the nation. All three feel that the private demonstration of their bull riding skills in front of Prince Williams and Kate is a unique opportunity. They feel honoured. The bulls that the three Alberta cowboys are to ride will be selected next week.
