The International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA), presented by the Rawhide Rodeo Company, will make the Lindsay Exhibition Fairgrounds a stop on the 2013 Professional Rodeo Season Series. Four countries will be represented at this professional rodeo including top hands from San Paulo Brazil, the United States, Mexico and Canada, competing in the most dangerous sport, Bull Riding! All of the professional Cowboys and Cowgirls competing will be vying for coveted world championship points and tens of thousands in prize monies. This event features Professional Rodeo Events, including Bareback Bronc Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bull Riding, Team Roping, Calf Roping, the Award winning Canadian Cow Girls drill riding team, and “the world’s most dangerous sport BULL RIDING” plus much more! Portions of the proceeds from this event will support Camp Maple Leaf.
After great success last year, this year promises to be the biggest, most entertaining family event in the region. This equine event is entertaining as well as educational and provides lots of opportunity to "get up close and personal" with horses and their owners. A wide variety of riding and driving demonstrations, including heavy and light breed displays will take place both days. Some of the more unusual breeds to be presented include the very beautiful Gypsy Vanner, Peruvian Paso, and Andalusian horses, to name just a few. Heavy horse hitches, including the Belgian, Clydesdale, Percheron, and Commercial horse breeds, will featured daily. Free horse-drawn wagon rides will provide transportation throughout the grounds, to experience the way we travelled years ago.
This year’s additions include;
- The chance to test your skills against a mechanical bull
- A bigger more extensive trade show, with 40,000 square feet of equine products
- The opportunity for kids to meet “Apple Jack” from My Little Pony
- Pony Rides
- Merry-go-Round
- High School Rodeo
- Barn Dance Featuring – The James Barker Band & Montana Sky
