Whitesboro Riding Club 65th Annual 4th of July Rodeo
Our Annual rodeo averages 1250 spectators and 300+ contestants with families and friends attending. We have even earned a spot among the “Top 5 Rodeos in the UPRA.” Our rodeo is part of the Cowboy Christmas Performance Bonus Run that only takes place over the 4th of July weekend. Our Rodeo Events include Bull Riding, Bareback, Saddle Bronc, Team Roping, Calf Roping, Steer Dogging, Ladies Breakaway, and Ranch Bronc with extra family events like Kids Calf Scramble, Women’s Steer Scramble, and Youth Barrel Racing.
Our rodeo also features the crowning of our Rodeo Royalty. Young ladies and gentlemen compete for the titles of Miss Whitesboro Riding Club Rodeo Queen, Princess, and Buckaroo/Buckarette. This competition encourages contestants to promote the sport of rodeo at public events with a positive approach and teaches the value of horsemanship along with friendship. Each contestant gains lifelong skills, including public speaking, interviewing, and social skills. Contestants ride each night at the Rodeo and interact with the crowd, providing giveaways. All titled Royalty spend a year representing WRC at local Rodeos, parades, festivals, and present awards at all WRC events.
