Professional Trick Rider and Liberty Horse Entertainer Niki Cammaert-Flundra proved to be one of the top attractions at this year's Pincher Creek Pro Rodeo. The audience was entranced every time she performed.  Riding bareback with no bridle, she performed a ballet with two of her horses that transcended trick riding. She loves her horses, and they love her back.  That was evident throughout her act, where trust and obedience blended with artistry for a gentle and compelling demonstration.  It was a welcome diversion from the rough-and-tumble of the regular rodeo events.

Cammaert-Flundra travels extensively throughout North America performing her the top professional rodeo events.  This summer she was showcased in the Calgary Stampede Grandstand Show. She has performed at every major rodeo in Canada, including multiple appearances at the Calgary Stampede, the Ponoka Stampede, the Strathmore Pro Rodeo, and the Canadian Finals Rodeo. In the U.S. she has been multiple times to Rodeo Houston, the San Antonio Exhibition and Rodeo, the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, and a host of other events.
