Rockin' N Ranch
Youth Rodeo

The third annual youth rodeo at the Rockin’ N Ranch (2023) hosted over 240 kids from all over the PNW (over 90 in 2021). Our rodeo starts with a grand entry showing respect and gratitude to our all our Military service branches, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, those who have not made it home or laid to final rest, and our first responders. All while highlighting our amazing sponsors, and most importantly paying respects to our wonderful country. Contestants are encouraged to either carry a flag or ride in before the National Anthem. Our Grand Entry tends to be a family favorite, along with all our cowboys and cowgirls.

Announcer information sheets are encouraged to be filled out for each contestant so when they enter the arena, we can share with the audience and fellow contestants’ information about the cowboy or cowgirl. This turns the arena into an environment where our young contestants feel like a rodeo star on the big screen. Feeling confident in each of our young contestants hearts is a priority.

Currently, there are no other rodeos like this one for our youth in the PNW. Our youth rodeo utilizes roping sleds and bucking barrels so young cowboys and cowgirls can establish their fundamentals in an encouraging environment. The rodeo is affordable and encourages kids to participate in more events.

We also have several volunteers on the ground and horseback encouraging and providing helpful knowledge to our contestants. The goal and purpose of the rodeo is to create a learning environment that motivates and offers new opportunities for our up-and-coming rodeo stars. The most rewarding part as producers, next to the big smiles, is to witness the improvements these young cowboys and cowgirls proudly make each year.
