The excitement of the rodeo

Have you ever been to a rodeo? Getting asked what my favorite rodeo is, and what my favorite events are, is quite normal when someone finds out my family and I rodeo. To me those are easy questions, but also really tough. I have been to some pretty amazing rodeos. Rodeos that really showcase the athletic ability of the cowboys and animals. Out of all the rodeos in the Pacific Northwest, my favorite rodeo is the Pendleton Roundup. There is not another rodeo like it in the whole wide world. The Pendleton Roundup rodeo is held on the high school football field in Pendleton, Oregon. The Pendleton Roundup has been held on grass for 107 years and the rodeo has shown significant growth. Last year they added women’s breakaway to the rodeo. The town shuts down for the rodeo. It’s not uncommon to see a world champion cowboy and his horses walking down the same sidewalk as you.
