|  | Wild West Show
Since 1914, members of the Bishop family have been putting on their Wild West Shows featuring some of the fastest, exciting and most challenging horse riding tricks possible. The Tom Bishop Wild West Show has performed everywhere from The Calgary Stampede to private shows for members of the Saudi Arabian Royal Family.
One of their specialties they'll be performing this year at Old Home Week is “Roman Riding”, an act rarely seen in North America. An amazing feat of balance and control, watch as they maneuver four horses at a full gallop in a one-of-a kind hand-crafted harness, while standing on their backs.
