San Benito County Saddle Horse Show & Rodeo
- About
The San Benito County Saddle Horse Show and Rodeo display our county’s early Spanish heritage along with activities and skills from present-day ranch life. This old-time competition will bring you back to the early days of San Benito, a county still considered vaquero country to Western aficionados.
- History
- The San Benito County Saddle Horse Show and Rodeo began in 1929 as a weekend of fun and challenge for hard-working cowboys and ranch hands. Organized by a group of local businessmen, community leaders, and prominent ranchers, the rodeo has operated every year for generations except for four years during World War II. The show started with 25 original directors, and today that number still oversees the yearly show and day-to-day operation of the Association.
