Big-money rodeos come to Redding, Surrey
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – There is more than one month between events on the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour, but cowboys and cowgirls won’t have any problem finding rodeos with healthy payoffs and the top livestock in the business.
The Redding (Calif.) Rodeo and Cloverdale Rodeo & Exhibition in Surrey, British Columbia, start later this week and give contestants plenty of reasons to stay on the rodeo trail until the Wrangler Tour resumes on June 15 at the Reno (Nev.) Rodeo.
Action in Redding, located in northern California about 215 miles north of San Francisco, starts May 17. The three-performance rodeo, which was among the cities on the 2000 summer Wrangler Tour and 2001 winter Wrangler Tour, concludes on May 19. The rodeo starts at 7:15 p.m. PT each day. Growney Brothers Rodeo Company, led by 2000 PRCA Stock Contractor of the Year John Growney, is bringing its best to Redding, which includes some of the toughest bulls in the PRCA. Additional livestock is being provided by California companies Russell Rodeo and Western Rodeos.
The rodeo also features $9,000 in added money per event.
The Cloverdale Rodeo & Exhibition kicks off a three-day holiday weekend in Canada. The six-performance rodeo starts May 18 and ends on May 21, Victoria Day.
The Greg and Duane Kesler tandem is providing the bucking stock at the rodeo, which makes Cloverdale a can’t-miss stop for bareback and saddle bronc riders. The Keslers came away with more honors at the 2006 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo when Country Cat was named top saddle bronc of the event. In addition, the company is known for Painted Smile, the three-time PRCA Saddle Bronc of the Year, and Skoal’s Alley Cat, the 1998. Also, Kesler Championship Rodeo is turning loose its stellar pen of bareback horses. Previously, Kesler Championship Rodeo was honored with three PRCA Bareback Horse of the Year selections with Alley Ways (2002, 2004) and Cool Alley (2001).
The Cloverdale Rodeo & Exhibition offers $20,000 of added money per event.
Nightly performances take place on May 18-20 at 7:30 p.m. PT, with matinee shows also set for 2 p.m. on May 19-21.
