“The World’s Richest Ranch Rodeo”
Please join us for the inaugural Rawhide Ranch Rodeo, a two-day event where teams will compete for a wide range of high-quality prizes and money.
The event will consist of four-man teams competing in long round stray gather to jockey for a spot in the short round, where the top 10 teams will compete in four ranch rodeo events: sorting, calf branding, trailer loading, and cow milking. Entries will be limited to 100 teams - however, contestants may enter twice, limited to being on a second team with only one other team member from their first team. Entries are $1000 per team.
Prizes include custom Paul Van Dyke saddles, along with a chance to win a set of spurs, bit or buckles from artisan Mitch Lewis. ‘Top Horse’ will win a bit and ‘Top Hand’ will win spurs, both crafted by Gary Johnson.
