Fun fact

He's credited with inventing the hornless bronc saddle and the first-ever side-delivery rodeo bucking chute, both still standard equipment on the circuit today.

The verdict

Born in Utah but raised on his family's ranch near Raymond, Alberta, where he actually invented several pieces of rodeo equipment still used today — the hornless bronc saddle and the first side-delivery bucking chute among them. Raised here, citizen, lived and worked here: three points, Ya No Ya.
