The Graham Sisters Trick Riding Team to perform during the Chuckwagon Races
Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon

Trick riding is fun.  It’s exciting.  It’s a little strenuous, sometimes dangerous and often without rhyme or reason.  But, for a girl and a horse who like to have fun together, there is nothing like it. The Graham Sisters are sensations in the world of trick riding. Going into their ninth year they continue to fascinate audiences completing many performances every year. Krista and Amber are passionate, performing several dangerous maneuvers on their horses, including the Graham Trademark, Graham Double Stand, and The Ring of Fire.
These girls were the first in Canada to perform the death defying tail drag and hippodrome stand on one horse, at the same time. The Graham Sisters are proud of their newest inventions ~ the Graham Double Stand and the Ring of Fire ~ attempted by no other... combating fire with two horses jumping through a blazing ring...while the sisters fearlessly take stance in the hippodrome stand.

The girls would like to thank DENWOOD MOTORS and the WAINWRIGHT STAMPEDE ASSOCIATION for their support and are proud to be a part of the Wainwright Stampede.
