Goat yoga is coming to Agribition this year

Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) announced the newest entertainment additions for this year, including goat yoga — which will be offered free of charge.

“Making sure Agribition is an affordable option for families is important to us ... we’re happy to say that in addition to the free events we’re adding, there are no increases to any ticket prices for 2017,” CWA CEO Chris Lane said in a news release.

There will also be mini-chuckwagon racing and steer-riding rodeo school introduced this year — free of charge.

Other new entertainment at this year’s Agribition will be animal trainer Tommie Turvey and his celebrity horses. Turvey is a world-renowned animal trainer and performer who has had his horses featured on The Walking Dead. Turvey will perform a show of horsemanship, stunts and trickriding.

Turvey’s show will be free of charge on Monday night.

Full Contact Jousting will return Tuesday night. Agribition Pro Rodeo will return for its second year as well.

“The Agribition Pro Rodeo was a huge success and we knew immediately that we wanted to bring it back ... the calibre of the competition and the fan experience really puts this rodeo in the top tier of the sport,” Lane said in a news release.

The top rodeo cowboys and barrel racers from the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association will compete for nearly $100,000 in prize money.

The Mosaic Company will once again cover a free night of rodeo Wednesday evening.

“This is the third time we’ve partnered with Agribition to offer the first night of rodeo action on us. It’s a great way to bring out new attendees for a family-friendly evening and treat rodeo regulars with a complimentary night,” Sarah Fedorchuk, senior director of public affairs for the Mosaic Company, said in a news release.

Agribition runs Nov. 20 to 25 at Evraz Place in Regina.
