History

In 1949 Roy Butler, Paul Rutledge, Paul Ragle, Austin “Slim” Green, Gene Petchesky, and a few others had a dream to put together a professional rodeo in Santa Fe, NM and that was the year Rodeo de Santa Fe was born. Their dream exceeded all of their expectations and took off as today this rodeo remains one of the top 60 PRCA Rodeos in the nation. Nearly 500 contestants, including many world champion cowgirls and cowboys, came to compete at last year’s Rodeo de Santa Fe. This year the rodeo expects to see even more champions compete and they are a qualifier for the American Rodeo.

Grab your tickets today, come make some new memories with your loved ones, and experience the Rodeo de Santa Fe 2024!

Howdy, I'm Megan deFabry. I grew up in Reno, Nevada, but since 2017 my heart has called Texas home. I now reside in Austin, Texas since 2020. I'm driven by my faith, cherished relationships with family and friends, and my professional ambitions. I'm passionate about digital marketing and journalism, especially the wide-open spaces of America's Western lifestyle, the grit of agriculture, the excitement of rodeo, and the heart of country music. For nearly a decade, I've been sharing this way of life through storytelling. And like any good cowboy tale, there's a loyal sidekick, my little Dachshund, Frank, who I adopted from a shelter in New Braunfels, Texas, back in 2018. He keeps me grounded, reminding me to chase horizons and savor life's simple joys. I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Consumer Affairs and a minor in Mass Communication. My major taught me to decode consumer behavior, which is crucial for marketing, while my minor sharpened my storytelling skills. Since then, I've spent years mastering SEO and content strategy, staying ahead in a fast-moving field. My work even caught the eye of Cowboy Lifestyle Network's CTO, Irish Padmore, who recognized me for contributing to his research on Consumer Behavior in the Age of AI. Since 2018, I've been honored to work at Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Now as Editor-in-Chief writing, editing, and publishing articles that capture the cowboy spirit, crafting strategies rooted in Western values, and building real client connections. Guided by ethical journalism, I aim to tell stories that resonate and reflect the unsung heroes of the Western spirit.
