Great for the very beginner... ...and a refresher for those who have done it before!

If you have ever wanted to learn how all those cowboys and cowgirls do those events, come try them out! Our Rodeo School is geared for the very beginner that has never competed before. Come learn all about:

• Calf Roping on Foot
• Steer Decorating
• Chute Dogging
• Steer Riding
• Barrel Racing – must provide own horse

This is a great way to learn – it's a stress free environment, you will be instructed by experienced cowboys and cowgirls, and you can practice your event more than once (time permitting). It's also a great refresher for those who have entered before to get warmed up, practice with the stock, and maybe learn a new technique or two!

Go to the online Rodeo School Enrolment Form below and complete the rodeo school application!

The deadline for Rodeo School enrollment will be announced in 2023 Space is limited, so enroll early! Late entries received may be accepted, based on space availability and if approved by the facilitator. We do sell out, so register now so you aren't disappointed!

Each event is only $25.00 CDN per person. The online form uses PayPal and all major credit cards are accepted. It's a great deal – there is expert instruction, it's relaxed and unhurried, and you can try your event as many times as time permits!
