Events

The Yuma Silver Spur Rodeo offers a wide array of thrilling events that showcase the skills and courage of the West’s finest athletes. From the heart-pounding excitement of bull-riding and steer wrestling to the precision and grace of barrel racing and mutton busting, there’s something for everyone at the Yuma Silver Spur Rodeo. Bareback riding, team roping, and saddle bronc riding test the riders’ courage and tenacity, while tie-down roping demands lightning-fast reflexes and a steady hand. I love witnessing the cowboys and cowgirls take the dirt along with their animal athletes. Their hard work is always inspiring to me. For a touch of speed and excitement, the motocross vs barrels event is sure to thrill spectators. Additionally, the stock show offers a glimpse into the heart of the rodeo, showcasing the magnificent animals that make these events possible.
