At Ringo Kid Arena, we are passionate about preserving the rich western heritage that has shaped our community. As an open rodeo association, our mission is to provide a space for both the young and the young at heart to experience the excitement and tradition of rodeo. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or just getting started, we welcome all who share our love for this exciting sport.Â
Rodeo is more than just a thrilling ride on a bull or who can run the fastest around a clover leaf barrel pattern—it’s about family, tradition, and hard work. At Ringo Kid Arena, we believe in the importance of fostering these values in our youth, teaching them the significance of responsibility, respect, and perseverance. We are committed to creating an environment where participants of all ages can compete, learn, and grow, while also spending quality time together.
Our goal is to keep the spirit of the west alive, ensuring that future generations carry on the traditions that have been passed down through the years. We invite you to be a part of our rodeo family, whether you’re here to compete, cheer on a loved one, or just experience the thrill of the ride. At Ringo Kid Arena, the western heritage lives on—and so does the bond that unites us all.
Join us and be a part of the tradition today!
