Niki Flundra Hailing originally from the small town of Rockyford, Alberta, Niki Flundra has a ProRodeo resume that covers most of the Western hemisphere. She has performed at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo seven times and 16 times at the Canadian Finals Rodeo. She’s also wowed audiences at the Calgary (Alberta) Stampede and the Strathmore (Alberta) Pro Rodeo, 12 times each, and the Ponoka (Alberta) Stampede six times. “It’s pretty cool. I’ve slowed down quite a bit since we had all of our boys, but I still do a bit and it’s pretty fun,” Flundra said. Her ProRodeo experience in the U.S. includes: 19 times at RodeoHouston,

five times to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, four times at the San Antonio Exhibition & Rodeo, as well as the Reno (Nev.) Rodeo, Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days, the Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up, the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver. “I do what I do because I have a huge love and passion for horses, rodeo and theWestern lifestyle,” Flundra said. In 2010, she married saddle bronc rider Dustin Flundra, an Alberta cowboy who has made three trips to theWrangler NFR (2009-10 and 2014) and is a three-time champion with the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (2003, 2007 and 2010). “My favorite part is the people,” Flundra said. “Rodeo people are like no other people. It’s such a special community of friends and family and there’s nothing else out there like it.” Flundra’s had the honor and privilege of performing for the Canadian Prime Minister, the President of Mexico and the President of the U.S. Flundra has also made stunt woman film appearances on “Heartland,”“Pet Heroes for CMT” and “Horses of McBride.” She has also worked on Jackie Chan’s “Shanghai Noon,”“Rat Race,”“Little House on the Prairie,” and more. Flundra is also involved in special effects and pyrotechnics for both film and live events.

2019 Wrangler NFR Specialty Acts

Madison MacDonald In 2019, trick rider Madison MacDonald extended her string to nine straight appearances at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. “I never thought this would happen,” MacDonald said. “It’s everyone’s dream to perform there, so I’m beyond lucky and beyond blessed. It’s always an awesome experience, and every year they surprise me.” The 27-year-old has been trick riding for 20 years. In fact, the seasoned performer is beginning to think about slowing down, maybe in a few years when she starts a family with her husband, Keegan Thomas. They live in Stephenville, Texas, where MacDonald teaches trick riding when she’s not on the road performing.

“I always wanted to be a teacher, but thought it might be junior high math and science,”MacDonald said.“It just worked out that I get to teach trick riding instead. Like any performer, I don’t always want to share my secrets, but it would be too dangerous to keep it to myself. So, I tell them everything they need to know.” MacDonald’s students come to Stephenville from around the neighborhood and all over the country – even overseas, as she had one student come from the Netherlands. She credits the increased interest to the appeal of the activity, as well as lucky timing. “It’s a sport for young girls, with costumes and fast horses,” she said. “And a couple of movies that featured trick riding helped too, like ‘Cowgirls and Angels.’” MacDonald said she always tries to come to Las Vegas with new costumes and new flags. “It’s like coming home to a family now, saying hello to all the grounds workers and people backstage,” she said. “But it’s also really exciting. It never gets old (being involved in that production) because it’s new and fresh every year, and there’s so much energy around that place. You just build off that.”

2020 PRCA MEDIA GUIDE

SPECIALTY ACTS

Specialty Acts Unlike other sports, which have a single halftime or seventh-inning stretch, rodeo has many short breaks in the action. Specialty acts fill those gaps with entertainment ranging from hilarious comedy to breathtaking excitement, as well as opening many rodeos with spectacle and glamour. Local rodeo committees hire specialty acts that will appeal to their local audiences, so specialty acts range from large trick riding teams to skydivers who bring flags into opening ceremonies and clowns who interact with props, the announcer and audience. Other specialty acts feature trained animals such as horses and dogs (even monkeys, goats, mules, and llamas) who perform astonishing tricks. This chapter provides some information about PRCA members who were qualified as insured specialty acts as of March 23, 2020.
