Lindsay Kruse following her Round 1 barrel racing win in Pool B in Calgary

In her first trip to the Calgary Stampede, Lindsay Kruse won Round 1 in Pool B with a time of 17.52 seconds.

“Really nervous, but my husband called earlier and he’s like ‘it’s just another rodeo, just relax,’” she said. “I knew if I rode him (her horse Pistol) right, he could go to work for me.”
