Scott Schiffner says the feeling right before he nods his head is a peaceful “calm before the storm” moment for him. With the 2018 Canadian Finals Rodeo just two weeks away, it’s also the calm before that six-round storm.

Before the Grass Roots Final, Dallas Frank was on the outside looking in. After this round two win, an average check, and one last check in Hanna, Alberta for good measure - he was inside the top 12 in Canada and headed to the Canadian Finals Rodeo

She says it was a technique she learned from riding futurity colts. Check out Carman Pozzobon lift her foot to get around the barrel at the Strathmore Stampede to win the rodeo. She came in with a time of 17.199 and added a big check to her eventual season victory.
Callahan Crossley has been on a mission to make her third Canadian Finals Rodeo all year long. In fact, that mission even began last year at the Agribition Pro Rodeo in Regina, Saskatchewan with this round one winning run. Crossley stopped the clock at 13.987 seconds and collected her first check towards qualifying for the 2018 CFR.
Angela Ganter dominated the Grass Roots Final this year to say the least. Ganter won both rounds of the final, including making the fastest run of the finals in round two with this 15.774 second run.
Scott Schiffner may be retiring after the 2018 Canadian Finals Rodeo, but we have video evidence that this two-time Canadian champion bull rider isn’t slowing down. This 87-point ride at the Kdays Rodeo in Edmonton, Alberta put Schiffner back on the hunt for qualifying for the CFR in his last year of competition.
It’s a big deal to compete at your hometown rodeo. Especially when that hometown rodeo is the Ponoka Stampede, where a win could help send you to the Canadian Finals Rodeo.
Kyle Lucas took home the Finning Pro Tour title in Armstrong, British Columbia, and then he turned around and won the Grass Roots Final in Calgary, Alberta. After winning both of the CPRA’s major series finals, can he complete the “triple crown” at the Canadian Finals Rodeo?
The steer wrestling truly came down to the wire in the 2018 CPRA rodeo season. Derek Frank has this run to thank for getting him through the final leg of the season and to his second Canadian Finals Rodeo.
We can’t get enough of this matchup between Richmond Champion and C5 Rodeo’s F13 Virgil at the 2018 Ponoka Stampede. The duo danced to the tune of 91.25 points and unofficially earned the highest score of the entire CPRA rodeo season and one of the highest in the PRCA.
Bareback rider Ty Taypotat has been having one heck of a year. The Saskatchewan cowboy has been healthy, and collecting checks left and right in 2018. So it makes us wonder: Could this be the year he wins the Canadian title?
There aren’t many bareback riders out there with the style and toe-turning out ability of Jake Vold. He showed us that signature style with this 87-point ride at the Amrstrong IPE and Stampede.
Rookie CPRA barrel racer Justine Elliott has been proving she doesn’t need experience to win big checks in 2018. Those checks included this 15.953 second effort at Armstrong to win second in the long round and over $3,000. The win was a big part of her securing her first trip to the Canadian Finals Rodeo. She will make her debut at the finals when it makes it’s debut in the city of Red Deer, Alberta.
This pair straight-up dominated the 2018 CPRA season in the CPRA. Not only are Denver Johnson and Tristin Woolsey heading to their first Canadian Finals Rodeo, but they’re also going there as the No. 1 team in Canada - thanks in part to this 5.3 second run to win the Ponoka Stampede.
Clay Elliott has been conquering some of the rankest bucking horses around this year. This 87-point ride aboard C5 Rodeo’s High Valley was just one example of all the great rides he made this year on the way to his season leader title in the CPRA and another WNFR qualification.
