This one-night-only rodeo event was full of adrenaline and entertainment. There was bull- riders, barrel racing and of course the all-time famous rodeo clown. One of the thrills of rodeo is that anything can happen, and it can go in any direction, so we never know what to expect. It was certainly a night full of surprises.

This tournament-style event will featured two of rodeo fans’ favorite events: women’s barrel racing and bull riding. The girls did their best race timing anywhere between 15 seconds to 20 due to someknocked down barrels and 5 second penalties. We watched multiple bull riding sets with the winners taking home bragging rights and cold hard cash.

In between all the bull riding action, barrel racers go up against the clock (and one another) to win their share of the prize money. The competitors put on their best effort and a great show. The bull riders risk it all and the cowboy safety net was on point taking good care of the riders. Those bulls where mean and gave the cowboys a rub for their money some even threw the riders to the ground before on second mark. What a fun night full of emotions and adrenaline! Our respects to the competitors and riders.

Silver Spurs Rodeo History

The Silver Spurs Rodeo is the largest rodeo east of the Mississippi and is annually ranked among the top 50 events sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). But the Silver Spurs Rodeo history stems from a humble gathering of Osceola County ranchers. In 1941, those pioneering ranchers gathered in Tallahassee to ride in the inaugural parade for newly elected Florida Governor Spessard Holland. Their appearance gained statewide attention and sparked the notion that they should continue to gather and enjoy their common interest of horseback riding.In May of 1941, the Silver Spurs Riding Club was formed. The club was very active and quickly grew in popularity across the state. Presently the Silver Spurs Riding Club has 300+ members. Although the rodeo has grown into one of Osceola County’s premier events, the work and success of the club continues to be done by club members, their families and volunteers. With an uncompromising love of animals, land, and the outdoors, the Silver Spurs Riding Club continues to preserve an American tradition that has been passed down for generations.
