Rodeo History Like many rodeos across the United States, the Steamboat Springs event also has a history filled with twists, turns, thrills, and spills. Traced back well past 100 years, this event originally had spectators forming a ring with their horses to begin the competition. Later on, cars replaced horses in forming the circle, yet the excitement was every bit as intense. As its reputation for excitement grew through the years, it became known as the “Friday Night Jackpot” in the mid-1970’s. During these competitions, the cowboys and cowgirls competing would come together and give it their all in an effort to win the total entry fees accumulated that evening. In doing so, they regularly demonstrated their passion for the sport, helping it become the incredible event it is today.

Peter Varlet’s the cowboy critic you love to hate, until he’s right. Born during a thunderstorm in 1972 in Bismarck, North Dakota, he grew up watching his WWII vet dad battle to save their farm from corporate claws. Now, Peter’s the unapologetic voice of Western culture, with a historian’s grip on America’s past, acknowledging both its heroes and hypocrites. His truth to power articles are a no-holds-barred zone for rodeo reviews, cowboy movie takedowns, and ranching tricks that work. He’ll tell you why your country singer’s a fraud and how to fix a fence with only baling wire and spite. Peter despises corporate factory farms taking over and cherishes the DIY grit of real Americans. Politically correct? Nope. Trustworthy? Damn straight. He’s saving the West, one brutal truth at a time.
