Family and friends are mourning Seth Saulteaux, the 19-year-old bull rider who died during a weekend Indian National Finals Rodeo (INFR) event on the Stoney Nakoda First Nation.
Saulteaux, who was from Maskwacis, embraced the rodeo life, following in the steps of his bull riding grandfather Marcel Saulteaux. Seth travelled with his grandfather to rodeo events across North America before, the age of 14, when he rode his first bull.
Seth qualified for the INFR main event in Las Vegas three times and had set his sights on riding in the Professional Bull Riders circuit. On Saturday, those aspirations ended as he suffered a fatal blow on what proved to be his final ride.
Seth’s mother Raylene received the heartbreaking news by phone from a friend at the Chiniki Rodeo Grounds. Global’s Jayme Doll has the details.
