The older First Nations people have put up their colourful tipis in a little village while a larger number of the young men and occasionally a young girl, enter into the Stampede competitions. One event was entirely for the First Nations people and that was the horse race. First Nations people were inveterate racing addicts and there was always keen competition between the different bands and tribes. Their best horses were brought to the Fair and competed each night for prizes. First Nations people usually ran matched races over a straight course of about half to a third of a mile. In Calgary, however, they had to make a circuit of a half mile track. The regulations required the riders to ride without any saddle which was their original custom and in some races they were required to ride stripped to the waist and wearing only chaps and moccasins.
