Rodeo: A Living Part of the Great Western Heritage
That Famous Preston Night Rodeo was awarded Large Rodeo of the Year in Idaho for the Wilderness Circuit!
This award is a great honor and is voted on by the Cowboys. It is based on their overall experience at the rodeo, our production, our arena, and our hospitality. This is the third year we have received this award. In 2013, it was for Best Small Rodeo in Idaho, but we increased our purse to move us into the big rodeo status, so in 2014 and 2015, we won Best Large Rodeo.
What a great honor for our event!!!
We have been Best Large Rodeo in Idaho for the Wilderness Circuit for 2013. 2014. 2015, runner-up in 2016 and we have received awards for arena dirt at the NFR in Vegas every year for the past 6 years!
- History
- Rodeo began, it is believed, in 1864 when two neighboring ranches met in Colorado to settle an argument over who was the best at performing everyday ranching tasks. It can be said that rodeo is the only sport derived from an industry, and probably the only one that ever will. PRCA members wanting to qualify for the Wrangler Nation Finals-SuperBowl of Rodeo--generally, spend more than 200 days a year on the road. Some cowboys only ride in rodeos close to home, as "circuit cowboys." Many of them take their wives and children along whenever possible, helping keep the sport close to its family-oriented roots.
