Rodeos

When are the good ones and where

The best one to go to is the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, it's where the best of the best go and you get to see everything from barrel racing to bronc riding. It's in December of every year, but has the best shopping and is just a really neat experience...

Vegas is good. It was not as I had hoped, I guess I had my hopes up to high maybe.. Cinn. Ohio has one! Its really good too.

BUT you should come in Oct. if you want to see something and just go to the QUarter Horse Congress! That is AWESOME.. Be there for Free style reining.. That is GREAT!

Do you know when in october

Would like to book something in pretty soon

We go to tons of rodeos and my favoites so far have been, Reno and Dodge City, it is awosme and the town does it up(it is about 3 hrs from me and I could set you up with some fun stuff to do also get you to some of the reiners around here) . Ones I haven't been to but that have very good reputations-Wyoming, Cheynne.. Denver, Calgery. I also haven't been to the finals but would like to

Theres one about 6 miles from my house. It use to be called Mesquite Championship Rodeo, but it just called Resistol arena now. At least I think. We get the big barrel racers like Martha Josey and Charmayne James. Theres a pretty nice hotel on the grounds, only a few years old. I think its a Hilton.

Its a pretty cool rodeo. They even do mutton bustin for the kids. Thats a sight to see, hilarious!

I like the Calgary Stampeed in the beginning of July.
Also, Spruce Meadows is at the same city, so you could check it out too.

The big one around Oregon is the Pendleton Round up. All cowboys and Indians. It happens in early Sept and is proffesional.. The Indians do another show of their own. It's more of a show on the reservation.

I think Vegas is the one I would go see if I was coming so far.. Course, it's in Vegas so there is much fun to be had after the Rodeo..

The Reno Rodeo is big....Plus they have the cattle drive a few days before. They bring them right through town.

Cor so many choices.

Now ive got to put my thinking cap on.
I dont want to have to drive while over there,the thought of driving on the right side of road and having no roundabouts scares me . Who has the right of way

Looks like its just me coming over as hubby not into this sort of thing,plus i want some fun . Have to try a pursuade my youngest daughter (13) to stay behind as she into all things western. But she may cramp my style . Not so easy to go out at night as i wouldnt leave her on her own,oh decisions,decisions

Some of the hotels in Vegas can arrange her to be watched, although at 13, that may be insulting. I know I could just let Brennen watch some movies at night as long as I kept him busy during tha day.

i just couldnt do that to her. She is a strange country,strange place. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her. I do trust her its just like i say strange place etc.

Shes adamant she wants to come

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is pretty stinkin amazing!!!

It is big, multiple things going on - and if you time it right you can make it to the AQHA show during it....

It is usually at the start of March....

I'm not TOO far away so would be more than happy to show you around...

Kidd,

could you find out more for me. I would love to go to Texas again,been there once before but was late and pretty much everything was shut.
Went into BIlly Bobs
