Kids with special needs got the chance to experience their own kind of rodeo this past weekend in conjunction with the Okotoks Pro Rodeo.

One of the organizers, Mike Labelle, says the kids loved the event.

"They got to be around horses. Some enjoyed the roping and they enjoyed riding the little bucking machine," he says, adding that one highlights was seeing kids interact with horses for the first time.

He says it was such a big success that they plan on bringing it back next year.
