The Cowboy Show is a show to help preserve the western heritage in a fun and competitive manner.

THE COWBOY SHOW hosted by a group of local volunteers. The focus of our event is to provide a venue to display the traditions and craftsmanship of the working cowboy & cowgirl. The goal is to offer our audience with an entertaining and educational weekend and our competitors with a top quality competition to compete in.

Friday afternoon starts with the Ranch Horse Competition which gives our competitors, who are some of the top horse trainers and ranch hands in Canada, an opportunity to show the true bond between a rider and their horse by maneuvering through a ranch style obstacle course as well as roping an animal and showing their control of that animal as if in a doctoring situation on a ranch.

Friday evening is the BUCKWILD event, this is a traditional ranch saddle bronc riding with a $5000 cash prize payout, it draws competitors from Canada and the US and is a real crowd favourite.

Saturday morning we host the FREE Kid’s Ranch Rodeo. This consists of three events, key hole, team cow work and dummy roping.

Saturday afternoon we host the Ranch Rodeo. This event consists of twelve, five person teams. We have teams that travel in from across Alberta, B.C and Saskatchewan. Pincher Creek was the first community in Canada to host such and event and currently has the longest running ranch rodeo of this type.

In addition, we host a trade show all weekend featuring some of Alberta’s finest western artisans, a beer garden, concessions, saddle raffle, and a supper both nights.

We are very proud of the growth our event has seen over the past several years, it is very well attended by our local community and has become a destination weekend by people from all over western Canada.
