History
The Rodeo de Santa Fe began in 1949 when Roy Butler, Austin “Slim” Green, Gene Petchesky, Paul Ragle, Paul Rutledge and few others had a dream and determination to organize a professional rodeo in Santa Fe, NM. This dream exceeded their ambitious expectations and today remains one of the top 60 PRCA Rodeos in the nation.
“It’s a great place to be. I’ve had the enjoyment of growing up there, going there every year I’ve been alive when my dad had the rodeo here, and then I carried on after he hasn’t been. It’s the people that are great”
Kirsten Vold
Co-Owner of Vold Rodeo

The Exceptional Rodeo
One of my favorite aspects of the rodeo community is everyone’s desire to come together for a heartwarming cause like the Exceptional Rodeo. Hosted by Rodeo de Santa Fe, the event is designed to offer children and adults with physical and mental exceptionalities a chance to experience the thrill of rodeo in a supportive, fun environment. Participants enjoy a variety of simulated rodeo events including riding a “bucking barrel”, roping hay bales, stick horse races, and much more!
Unforgettable Memories Await
