This event spotlights women in rodeo sports, providing them with a platform on a grand stage and offering the largest single pro rodeo event payout in history for women.

In breakaway roping, a calf is loaded inside the roping chute, and the roper positions themself on the right. Once out of the box, the roper’s horse chases the calf and positions the roper to lasso it. Upon catching the calf, the roper brings the horse to an abrupt stop, tightening the rope and breaking the string connecting it to the saddle horn. This action stops the clock.

NO BULL SINCE 1951

Earnhardt Auto Centers was founded in 1951 by a twenty-one year old Tex Earnhardt. After moving from Texas to Chandler, Arizona as a child, his family started a small gas station downtown in Chandler. Tex looked to expand the family business from selling gas and auto parts to automobiles as well.

The automobile manufacturers in Detroit refused to ship Tex vehicles without expensive transportation costs. The solution? Tex and a friend drove to Detroit and transported the vehicles themselves, one at a time. This continued for months until Ford Motor Company awarded Tex his own franchise in September of 1951. To this day, Tex holds the record for the youngest franchise owner in Ford History… and that ain’t no bull!
