About CARA

CARA currently hosts 7 rodeos each season plus a finals held at the end of the season. Our sanctioned rodeo events include:

For the senior members: Bull Riding, Bareback, Saddlebronc, Barrel Racing, Ladies Cow Riding, Team Roping and Ladies Breakaway Roping. In the 2023 season we added a non-sanctioned senior event, Ladies Ranch Bronc Riding.

For the junior members we have: Barrel Racing, Steer Riding and Breakaway Roping.

At some of our rodeos you will also find other fun added events. For full information check out each individual rodeo.

At the end of each season we award our contestants with trophy saddles for the Senior Season Champions and the Junior Champions with coats & jackets.

At the finals rodeo we present our champions with trophy buckles and cash payouts.

These are all made possible by our valued sponsors, many who have been with our association for many years.

Our rodeos offer a fun family atmosphere and you will find admission prices make it an affordable family outing. Dry camping is available at most of our rodeos.

Sponsorship opportunities are always available. With sponsorship comes advertising at all rodeos and on the Facebook page, the name of the sponsor on the prize they sponsor plus tickets to all of the rodeos including the finals plus finals supper tickets.
