High River, Alberta is home to Macza Pro Rodeo and their legendary bucking horses, Stevie Nicks and Get Smart.
Ols Tubs Get Smart has received some of the most prestigious awards in rodeo such as Bronc Horse of The Year in 2019, as well as the Wrangler NFR Top Saddle Bronc Horse two years in a row. This acclaimed bucking horse has exceeded all expectations that Macza Pro Rodeo had aspired.
A historical moment took place at the 2022 San Angelo Stock show & Rodeo, where Spencer Wright would make an 88-point ride on Get Smart. This ride would be his last as Get Smart was then retired shortly after in that very arena.
Although he may be small in size, Get Smart made a huge impact in the rodeo industry during his time and will go down in bucking horse history.
GET SMART RETIREMENT
Macza Pro Rodeo’s Ols Tubbs Stevie Nicks also has a notable reputation, often making headlines for the highest scoring rides and some of the most memorable performances.
“If you get anybody good, they darn sure have a shot to be over 90 on her every time”, Ward Macza says. Ward is the owner of Macza Pro Rodeo and takes great pride in the horsepower he brings to rodeo.
Stevie Nicks is just getting through her prime and already holds titles such Bareback Horse of the Calgary Stampede and Bareback Horse of Canada. This horse is said to be a cowboy’s dream and she’s got a lot of rides left in her.
