Ah, October … it’s the month of the start of fall weather, pumpkin spice latte …
... And dirt in the rodeo ring at the Silver Spurs Arena!
Get ready for Boots, Bulls, and Barrels, the one-night-only event that features tournament-style competition in two of the fastest and fan-friendliest events — bull riding and barrel racing.
On Oct. 1, pro cowboys and cowgirls will compete for bragging rights — and some cold hard cash. Watch they guys compete in multiple bull riding sets against the bulls — the baddest, meanest stock the Silver Spurs Riding Club can rind and raise — to try to hang until the eight-second buzzer sounds. The barrel racers will run fast out of the gate and complete “lady-a-lady” against the clock and one another to win prize money.
Come for the fast rodeo action, and stay to meet Silver Spurs Rodeo new Big Boss Clifton Chapman and the Miss Silver Spurs Court.
As with any Spurs’ rodeo, there’s a good cause: Boots, Bulls, and Barrels benefits the Silver Spurs Riding Club’s annual scholarship fund, with those scholarships given to graduating Osceola County seniors in the amount of $2,000 each.
The action starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, 10 and under are free with paying adult. Get them at www.silverspursrodeo.com or for more information, call 407-67-RODEO (407-677-6336).
(Note: Annual Passes purchased for 2022 Rodeo events are good on Oct. 1 for Boots, Bulls and Barrels even if they say Sept. 24, 2022. Per the Spurs, those are not for the Ranch Rodeo State Finals in September.)
