Let’s rodeo!
Welcome Roughstock Series
We’re proud to join forces with our fellow Southern California rodeos to bring you the 2025 So-Cal Rodeo Series — an exciting new collaboration created just for PRCA contestants competing in rough stock events and steer wrestling!
This series is all about celebrating the talent, grit, and determination of our rodeo athletes — and we’re raising the stakes in a big way. Contestants will have the chance to compete for $6,500 in bonus money per event awarded to the overall series winner in each category.
That’s right — more rides, more runs, more action, and more money on the line.
We can’t wait to welcome you to some of the best rodeos in So-Cal, where tradition meets top-tier competition and the spirit of the West comes alive.
Stay tuned for participating rodeos, series rules, and standings — and let’s ride into 2025 with a whole new level of excitement!

Hospitality Tent
Cowboy hospitality provides an area for the stock contractors, judges, contestants and rodeo personnel to have a hot meal, snacks and beverages during their stay. Our hospitality tent is located on the west end of the grounds by contestant parking. The tent opens two hours before each rodeo performance and closes at bull riding to prepare for the After Party dance. Each performance is shown via live feed in the tent. You must show a contestant hospitality band to enter the Hospitality Tent. You can get this from the Secretary’s office when you check in.
Equine Accommodations
No stalls are available on-site. Parking is limited, so stalls with your trailer cannot be larger than 10 x 10.
