We would like to take this opportunity to introduce
to you the ARCADIA YOUTH RODEO ASSOCIATION. We are most anxious to
offer this opportunity for our youth
to participate in
America’s #1 sport. In our society today, we feel it is
very crucial to guide our young people in a positive direction.
The Arcadia Youth Rodeo Association is dedicated to helping its
youth set goals and work to achieve them through a sport they truly
enjoy…RODEO!

Junior Steer &
Bull Riding are our newest events for the young rodeo fan.
Ages 10 - 12 (steer riding) and ages 13 - 16 (bull
riding) compete to see who can ride the steer (or
bull) the longest. Each rider is judged and receives points
just like the pro bullriders do, except ride time is 6 seconds
instead of 8 seconds. The winner receives a shiny new belt buckle
and their photo on this webpage.
So if your young
cowboy or cowgirl is interested, please call for complete
details!
