Saddle Up on Saturday!
Come test your skills and get a feel for the ride during the practice session on Saturday from 4:00pm to 4:45pm. Whether you’re a seasoned cowboy or a total newbie, this is your chance to prepare for Sunday’s main event!

Sunday = Showdown Time!
Three age-based Western-themed categories will battle it out for glory — and some great prizes:

🟡 The Little Wranglers (Ages 5–9)

• 9:00am – 9:30am
• 10:00am – 10:10am

🔵 The Rodeo Rascals (Ages 10–15)

• 10:45am – 11:00am
• 11:45am – 12:00pm

🔴 The Outback Outlaws (Ages 16+)

• 12:45pm – 1:00pm
• 2:00pm – 2:30pm

The bull will be adjusted to suit each age group, ensuring everyone gets a fair shot at glory (and a few laughs along the way).

The Rule is Simple: Whoever stays on the bull the longest in their category wins. No tricks, just pure grip, grit, and balance!
