The History of WRRA...

The Women's Ranch Rodeo Association started in Kansas around 10 years ago. It has really taken off the last few years. More rodeos and more teams. The year 2007 was our 3rd year to have a National Finals at the American Royal in Kansas City. We have had cowgirls from MO, NM, NE and OK compete in addition to local Kansas teams.

Cowgirls of the Women's Ranch Rodeo Association:

One day a cowgirl was asked to be part of a Ranch Rodeo Team. This girl had been brought up being no different than man. In her part of the country there was no segregation, no women's liberation. She was raised and thought of as a hand. And this is what they wanted - "a hand" on their team.

The women of the Association are women from all types of backgrounds. Some have been raised on farms and ranches and some just grew up dreaming of being a cowgirl one day.

The romance of the lifestyle and the love of a good cowhorse brought these women together. They compete against each other while still supporting each other in and out of the arena. Friends have been made. The camaraderie between these women is like no other.

Their biggest fans? Husbands, Fathers, Brothers..... You get the point - the men in their lives that work with them everyday and know what these girls are capable of. Their Mothers could very well be a teammate, and like always there are no words to express the Mother's love and support of their daughter. A Fan? You Bet!! Your Mom is your greatest fan.

It has been said that the only event that is missing from the Women's Ranch Rodeo is who can cook the best meal while still sorting/roping and branding. You know - just like at home !!

Thank you for visiting the Women's Ranch Rodeo!!
