If you won $100,000 you might take some time off work to celebrate. Not Cort Scheer. Just a few days after winning the Calgary Stampede’s [Saddle Bronc ](http://cs.calgarystampede.com/events/rodeo/results-and-draws/?year=2013&day=14&event=SB target= "Saddle Bronc results")event last month, he was back on the road competing in rodeos across the United States.



“Well, right now we’re driving down to Idaho to compete in a rodeo on Friday,” Scheer explains. “Then, on Saturday we’re off to California for the Salinas Rodeo. Then, it’s off to . . . ”

He continues naming one rodeo after another and it becomes clear that for the 27-year-old saddle bronc rider, who hails from Nebraska, the Calgary Stampede, in Alberta, is one of the many stops along the rodeo circuit — although he stresses, it’s a very important one.

“The Calgary Stampede is a life-changer for cowboys. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this rodeo and the sponsors who support this sport.”
