“My grandfather, Herman Olde, proudly opened the Evergreen Filling Station on February 4, 1921, right here in the heart of downtown Evergreen. As a second-generation Evergreen native, my roots run deep in this community. My father, Gerald Olde, returned home from World War II, and I was born on January 12th, 1947, right here in Evergreen.
Growing up, I cherished the values of hard work and community, graduating from Evergreen High School in 1965. I answered the call to serve my country by enlisting in the U.S. Navy, and after returning home in September 1968, I dedicated myself to serving Evergreen in every way I could. I worked at Olde’s Garage, became an active member of the American Legion, Kiwanis, Masonic Lodge, and the Elks Lodge— because giving back has always been my mission.
My journey continued through a rewarding career at Walmart, and I proudly retired from Colorado Parks and Wildlife in 2023. My life has been intertwined with this community—through service, work, and unwavering commitment. I am honored to stand here today as your Grand Marshal, celebrating the spirit of the Evergreen Rodeo—strong, resilient, and united.” ~ Larry Olde
On behalf of the Evergreen Rodeo Association, welcome to our 59th annual rodeo. It is my honor to present to you one of the last small town rodeos and one of Evergreens oldest events. Rodeos have been held in Evergreen with few exceptions for more than 80 years. Ranches used to get together and help each other brand and sort cattle. The cowboy spirt has a competitive edge and these gatherings naturally turned into competitions. These competitions have turned into what we now call rodeo today. Although times have changed in our mountain community the same type of people who have a strong cowboy spirit still get together, not to brand cattle but to put on a rodeo. Without the people of the Evergreen Rodeo Association who volunteer their time and talents and pour their hearts and souls into the rodeo, this event could not happen. I have been truly blessed to work with such great people. The Evergreen Rodeo equally needs the sponsors who step up each and every year to back us financially. We could not celebrate our western heritage without the support of our sponsors. Please look around the arena and flip through the program and support our sponsors as you need goods and services. Last but not least, we thank you, the rodeo fan, not for the ticket you have bought, but for the satisfaction we get out of seeing you and your family come out and enjoy celebrating our western heritage.
My hat is off to you all!
Thank you,
Dave Marshall, President, Evergreen Rodeo Association

rodeo Became popular in colorado over a century ago with the advent of the cattle industry. Evergreen, a logging and mountain ranch community that spread out for miles around Bear Creek had its share of local rodeo rivalry.
The Evergreen Rodeo is the genuine article with roots going back to those early days. Former Evergreen Rodeo members, Lucille Counselman and Louise Hendryx, joined in impromptu rodeos in the 20s and 30s for Troutdale Resort guests such as Tom Mix, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Ethel Merman and wealthy Easterners. Local hands and residents held those rodeos and the rodeo parade, for the entertainment of themselves and visitors. They still do. Today’s parade and rodeo are non-profit affairs, organized by The Evergreen Rodeo Association, a 100% volunteer organization.
Joe Williford was a resident of Evergreen for 50 years, and the first regularly scheduled rodeo he remembers took place in 1935. It was a local competition until 1947, when it went professional. The rodeo parades at that time were events enjoyed by almost every year-round resident. Many rode their horses as far as 15 miles to line up for the gala affair.
Professional rodeo, a big success in Evergreen after 1947, had a brief hiatus as an organized event after its first 10 years. Then in 1966, Bear Creek Rodeo Association was formed in response to community demand. Officers and board members included local residents Joe Williford, Ray Bryant, Lee Bauguley, Ray Behr, Basil Williams, Keith Hicks, Lee Gravel, Robert Meeks, and Kayo Morgan (a world champion Saddle Bronc rider in his own right). Land for a rodeo arena was leased, then bought, in El Pinal and the new rodeo was on its way. Equipment, materials and labor were donated by local businesses making it a total community effort.
The first Evergreen Rodeo on the weekend of August 5, 1966, gained national publicity when Junior Garrison set a record in calf roping with a time of 7.5 seconds. Subsequent performances have seen famous cowboys the likes of Freckles Brown, All-around World Champions Phil Lyne and Larry Mahan, and world-famous rope artist Monty Montana. Currently, world class contestants such as Bruce Ford, J.D. Yates, his sister Kelly, Abe Morris and Shane Call appear regularly. Today the best judges, clowns, stock contractors and animals continue an American heritage of over 70 years in Evergreen from a rousing parade to the last bull bustin’ of the chutes. As Joe Williford said, “Rodeo? It’s in our blood.”
A Heartfelt Thank You to our 2025 Sponsors and the Volunteers who have made it possible for us to tackle some of the much needed projects at our rodeo grounds. Without each and every one of you, these improvements could not have happened. Yes, it’ll take us several years to get the needed work done, but the spirit and passion is alive and strong to “GIT’ ER DONE! Here’s to many more years of the Evergreen Rodeo Association, our Sponsors, our Volunteers, and our great hometown Rodeo!
the p rofessional rodeo coWBoys association (PRCA), headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colo., is the largest and oldest rodeosanctioning body in the world. The recognized leader in professional rodeo, the PRCA is committed to maintaining the highest standards in the industry in every area, from improving working conditions for contestants and monitoring livestock welfare to boosting entertainment value and promoting sponsors. The PRCA also proudly supports youth rodeo with educational camps and financial assistance to young standouts preparing to enter the professional ranks, as well as supporting allied organizations such as Tough Enough to Wear Pink, Miss Rodeo America, the American Quarter Horse Association and the ProRodeo Hall of Fame.
Annually, the PRCA sanctions about 600 of the most elite multiple-event rodeos on the continent, in 38 states and three or four Canadian provinces – the cream of the crop among thousands of rodeorelated events that take place each year in North America. As a membership-driven organization, the PRCA works to ensure that every event it sanctions is managed with fairness and competence and that the livestock used is healthy and cared for to the highest standards. Here are some key facts about participants in ProRodeo and the PRCA: Committees. Local rodeo committees organize the PRCA-sanctioned rodeos held across the continent.
Most are run by dedicated groups of volunteers who make the rodeos work from behind the scenes, procuring local sponsors for events, awards and programs; setting up safe facilities; staffing various functions and making the contestants and attendees feel at home. Many PRCA rodeos are broadly involved in their communities in both service and fund-raising areas.
Charities. PRCA-sanctioned rodeos annually raise more than $16 million for local and national charities, from college scholarships for local students to the Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign against breast cancer.
a nnually, The Prca sancTions about 600 of the most elite multiple-event rodeos on the continent, in 38 states and three or four Canadian provinces – the cream of the crop among thousands of rodeo-related events that take place each year in North America. As a membership-driven organization, the PRCA works to ensure that every event it sanctions is managed with fairness and competence and that the livestock used is healthy and cared for to the highest standards. Here are some key facts about participants in ProRodeo and the PRCA:
Competition. Unlike most other professional sports, where contestants are paid salaries regardless of how well they do at a particular competition, cowboys generally pay to enter each rodeo. If they place high enough to win money, they probably make a profit, but if they don’t, they’ve lost their entry fee and any travel expenses, so every entry is a gamble pitting the chance for loss and physical injury against the chance for financial windfall and athletic glory. Also unlike most sanctioned professional sports, the hundreds of “playing fields” – rodeo arenas – of PRCA-sanctioned rodeos vary widely. The size, shape, perimeter of an arena, as well as the chute configuration and whether it’s indoors or outdoors, all significantly affect times for timed events and, to a lesser extent, scores for roughstock events. The differences are so significant that some timedevent cowboys own different horses for different types of arenas. For that reason, the fairest way to measure cowboys’ success in competition across the varied settings is by earnings. The total payout at PRCA rodeos in 2014 was
$41,102,501.
Cowboys. The PRCA’s membership includes nearly 5,000 cowboys (including permit holders), who comprise the majority of the association’s roster, as well as about 1,000 contract personnel (performers and workers). The largest membership segment includes a full range of contestants, from cowboys who compete in professional rodeo for a living, crisscrossing the country with their own horses or equipment, as well as those who work at other jobs during the week and compete in nearby rodeos on the weekends. The PRCA includes one $5-million earner, four $3-million earners and more than 100 million-dollar earners, yet most of its competing members participate in fewer than 30 rodeos each year.
Stock contractors. All PRCA rodeo events involve livestock, and the care of those animals falls to the stock contractors who buy or breed them, raise them, feed them, watch over them, provide medical care when necessary and transport them safely between rodeos and their home pastures. PRCA stock contractors agree to follow more than 60 rules providing for the care and humane treatment of livestock – the toughest standards in the industry – and constantly look for ways to improve their husbandry, knowing that best practices produce top-performing livestock
Judges. There are at least two judges at every PRCA rodeo who have attended judging seminars and are trained to ensure that all results of competition and livestock welfare are followed. During the timed events, each judge has a different role; during the roughstock events, the judges are on opposite sides of the cowboy and animal,
watching for the cowboy’s control of the ride and how well his timing is synced with the animal’s bucking motion, among other scored aspects of a ride that can be different on the two sides.
Contract personnel. The noncontestant personnel working a rodeo include the bullfighters, who help bull riders escape from powerful rodeo bulls; the barrelmen, clowns and specialty acts, who entertain the crowds; pickup men, who help bareback and saddle bronc riders dismount, then prepare and assist bucking stock to leave the arena; announcers, who call the action; arena secretaries, who handle extensive administrative duties; and timers, who operate the clocks for the timed and roughstock events. Committees. Local rodeo committees organize the PRCAsanctioned rodeos held across the continent.

“If you’re supporting a small business, you’re supporting a dream.”
i n The sPorT of rodeo its not whether you will get hurt, but when and how bad. An injury doesn’t just mean losing the next opportunity to compete for the rodeo cowboys, who don’t have guaranteed salaries and contracts; it could also mean not being able to provide for their families! Although medical costs associated with a rodeo injury are often covered by health plans or accident insurance, the day to day living expenses can become burdensome when an injury occurs.
IN 1990, a partnership between Justin Boots, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association – the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund (JCCF) was incorporated. The mission of the JCCF is to lend a helping hand to professional rodeo athletes and their families when they experience financial hardship due to a serious rodeo injury.
The JCCF offers need-based financial assistance to cover monthly expenses such as mortgage, car payment, food, insurance, and other necessities to those who qualify.
100% of donations made to the fund go directly to helping cowboys and cowgirls due to the generosity of the Justin Boot Company that covers all administrative costs. The rodeo community generously supports the JCCF through various fundraisers, memorial donations and grants. The Pro Rodeo League of Women hold the largest fundraiser each year at the South Point in Las Vegas. The Style Show and Luncheon is held in conjunction with the Wrangler NFR and has raised more than $1.7 million!
The Professional rodeo Cowboys assoCiaTion (PRCA) is deeply committed to the proper care and treatment of the livestock used in rodeo. As an association, the PRCA: has established rules and regulations governing livestock welfare, created an animal welfare committee to assist in the association’s efforts to ensure proper care of livestock, educates its membership regarding best practices for livestock handling, monitors compliance with its livestock welfare rules and regulations, educates the public and elected officials about the care provided to rodeo livestock, networks with other organizations about best livestock practices and policies, employs a director of livestock welfare to coordinate all efforts relating to care and handling of livestock at PRCAsanctioned events, and works proactively with rodeo committees, stock contractors, contestants and veterinarians through onsite livestock field representatives to ensure all livestock at PRCA rodeos are being handled properly.
The average bucking horse or bucking bull works less than five minutes a year in the arena.
Rodeo livestock have long and healthy lives: Many of today’s top bucking horses are 20 years old, and many bulls are active buckers at 15 years of age. Veterinarians
attribute these long, healthy life spans to good care, quality feed and adequate exercise.
PRCA rules prohibit the use of sharpened spurs and other implements that could harm an animal.
Human skin is one to two millimeters thick; horse hide is five millimeters thick; bull hide is seven millimeters thick.
Stock contractors invest a great deal of money in their breeding and purchase programs; many contractors pay up to five or even six figures for a top-rated bucking animal. Naturally, they are very motivated to take care of these investments.
Both bulls and horses have natural bucking tendencies; many do so while playing together in pastures, just as horses naturally race each other. What makes an animal a candidate for rodeo livestock is the absolute determination to buck if something is on its back – often an inherited characteristic, which breeders now work carefully to bring out in “Born to Buck” programs.
PRCA rules require flank straps to be lined with fleece or neoprene in the flank area (similar to a human waist); flank straps are tightened just enough to encourage the animal to kick behind itself instead of hopping around the arena. Overtightening would result in the animal’s refusal to move at all, much less buck. Flank straps do not contact an animal’s genitals.

Added money: rodeo is di erent most other sports in that it’s pay-to-play: at most rodeos, every contestant pays an entry fee, and those entry fees are part of the prize money for that event; added money (also called the committee purse) is what the local rodeo committee may put in for each event, which in the long run usually comes from sponsors.
Barrier: in timed events, a line at the front of the box that the contestant and his horse cannot cross until the steer or calf has a head start, usually marked with a rope and a ag so the timers can see it drop and start the clock.
Bronc rein: a saddle bronc rider holds onto a bronc rein, a six-foot braided rope, at a speci c position that he determines based on the size and bucking habits of the horse he’s about to ride; bronc riders often give each other advice about the best position for that handhold to allow the horse its best performance, e.g., “Give him 3½ ngers”
Dally: in team roping, each roper, after throwing his loop, wraps the loose rope around his saddle horn – dallies – and the two ropers move their horses to face each other, pulling the ropes taut to stop the clock.
Draw: each rough stock competitor who enters a PRCA rodeo is assigned a speci c bucking horse or bull in a random draw conducted at PRCA headquarters three days before the rodeo; each timed-event contestant is assigned a calf or steer in a random draw on site, shortly before each performance of a rodeo begins.
Flank strap: a soft sheepskin- or Neoprenelined strap placed in the area where a human’s belt would go, it encourages the animal to kick out behind itself rather than rear up, providing a safer, showier ride.
Hooey: the knot that a cowboy uses to nish tying the calf’s legs together in tiedown Roping.
Mark out: in the bareback and saddle bronc riding, a cowboy’s feet must be above the point of the horse’s shoulders when the horse’s front feet hit the ground – if so, he “marked the horse out,” but if not, he “missed the horse out” and the ride is disquali ed.
Pickup men: two mounted cowboys who help riders dismount, release a bucking horse’s soft ank strap, and escort bucking horses and bulls to the exit gate after a ride.
Pigtail: a piece of string attached to the barrier that breaks if a timed-event contestant’s horse exits the box too soon, not giving the calf or steer enough of a head start according to PRCA rules; this is called “breaking the barrier”
Rank: an adjective of praise and respect used to describe especially challenging roughstock.
Riggin’: a suitcase-style handhold customized to a rider’s grip and attached to a molded piece of leather that is cinched, with a pad, around the horse’s girth.
Slack: excess entries at some rodeos may be scheduled for preliminary (slack) competition, usually before the rodeo opens to the public.
Try: a noun used for both cowboys and livestock, denoting grit, determination, tness, stamina and resilience: “Give that cowboy a hand – he had a lot of try.”

“every day is a good day beCause we geT To rodeo” is the mantra of Professional Rodeo Announcer Doug Mathis of Cleburne, Texas. Doug, a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), since 1995, is ranked as one of the top announcers in the country. Doug announces the Largest Rodeo in the PRCA, The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, which is 36 performances in 22 days in Fort Worth, Texas. In a career filled with highlights, announcing the 2005 Dodge National Circuit Finals in Pocatello, Idaho and the 2009 National Finals Steer Roping, he is also a 3-time National Circuit Finals Steer Roping announcer. Doug placed 7th out of all PRCA announcers for “Announcer of the Year” voting in each year from 2005 through 2010. Doug was chosen for the T.V. Broadcasting job on The Altitude Channel for The Greeley Independence Day Stampede – Extreme Bull Riding in 2005, 2006, 2007. He also announces the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo, and the New Mexico State Fair and Rodeo.
Doug Mathis is not just another pretty face, although he has appeared in several fashion print campaigns, but his overall presentation and attitude have won him the admiration of all whom he works with. His outstanding
ability to make what goes on in the arena look better than what it is and his smooth intelligent delivery satisfies the seasoned fan as well as newcomers.
Doug is a highly sought after announcer, but his voice and face have taken him further outside of the arena than what he expected. Besides the numerous national fashion print campaigns, Mathis can also be seen acting in television commercials from Reliant Energy to the television pilot of “Knockoffs”, to CBS’s New Year’s Eve at Billy Bob’s Texas, to Tylenol and Esquire Watches, and also appeared in George Strait’s “Pure Country”.
Bob Tallman, 8-time PRCA Announcer of the Year and the voice of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, gives this recommendation for Doug Mathis’ professional expertise, “You don’t have to teach him, just trust him with 100 to 100,000 rodeo fans”.
Doug has been behind the mic since he sustained a career ending injury as a bull rider. He has announced in 23 states and averages 50,000 miles a year on the road. He jokes that he gets his mail in Cleburne, but that he really lives on the road. My friends are on the road and part of the fun of working in this industry is reconnecting every year. When he’s not announcing rodeos, Doug and his wife, Dee, can be found on their Rocking Double D Ranch in Cleburne, Texas.
Come rodeo with Doug and
his
friends. You’ll be glad you did!
Doug Mathis is available for your radio or TV commercial with all the excitement that you would expect from a Rodeo Announcer. Visit Doug’s website and check out his voice over commercials. http://dougmathissite.com/

whaT began in 1967 when they purchased the renowned Beutler Brothers Rodeo Company, has grown today, in our 58th year of rodeo, into the largest stock contractor for rodeo productions across the United States. Mike Cervi, founder, began his rodeo career at age 14, traveling across North America from the great plains of Texas to the rolling hills of Grand Prairie Alberta, Canada serving as a rodeo clown. Throughout the years, the Cervi family has acquired the two largest companies in the rodeo business, including purchasing the Billy Minick Rodeo Company in 1974, formerly owned by well-known producers Harry Knight and Gene Autry. With the acquisition, Cervi became the largest stock contractor in the nation and renamed the company Cervi Championship Rodeo; combining Beutler Brothers & Cervi Rodeo and Cervi Championship Rodeo into one corporation. Currently, Cervi Championship Rodeo produces 10 of the top 50 rodeos in the PRCA and had 69 different animals selected to compete at the 2017 Great Lakes Circuit, Mountain States Circuit and All American Finals. In the past seven years, over 100 Cervi Championship Rodeo animals have been selected for the NFR and they were honored to win three go rounds at the 2016 NFR and two go rounds at the 2017 NFR. Cervi Championship Rodeo’s main goal as a renowned stock contracting company is to produce fast and exciting rodeo with the best bucking stock available.
Binion Cervi, Executive Director, has experience in every aspect of rodeo production. Beginning his career while still in elementary school, he earned pocket change at the National Western Rodeo by shining shoes and boots for cowboys and patrons. Today, Binion heads up the production of rodeos, oversees the successful breeding program for Cervi bucking horses, manages the finances, and is the face of public relations for Cervi Championship Rodeo. Having experienced the “show business” part of rodeo through his trick-riding acts, Binion is now incorporating these skills to highlight Cervi Rodeo productions with audience appealing openings, closings and specialty acts that illustrate American patriotism and western heritage. These little extras at Cervi Championship Rodeos provide fans a great feeling about the performances and an added appreciation for the western way of life.
Chase Cervi, Ranch Manager and pick-up man, is very involved in the behind-the-scenes organization of the company. Chase organizes a breeding program for the companies’ bucking bulls, oversees the management of staff that work each rodeo, and is a true stockman helping to tend to the Cervi saddle horses and all other stock at the rodeos. As a pick-up man, Chase has acquired and developed the ability to anticipate the moves of the bucking horses and the needs of the bronc
riders; he is able to quickly position himself to aid both the animal and the cowboy efficiently and effectively. In 2010 and 2014–2017, the top twenty bareback riders and saddlebronc riders in the world standings selected Chase as a pickup man to work the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV and in 2016 he won the prestigious Pickup Man of the Year award.
As a team, the Cervi boys control every aspect of Cervi Championship Rodeo performances from raising great bucking stock, to directing the movements of everything that goes on in the arena from the start of a rodeo to the end. Finally, they are forever grateful to their sponsors that make it possible for them take the very best bucking stock down the road every day of the year: Greeley Hat Works, Vitalix and Classic Equine®.
The Cervi Family has also made it a priority to give back to the sport they love. With less cowboys coming off the ranch and less opportunities for them to practice, the world of rodeo is seeing a decline in bareback and bronc riders. And for men like the Cervi brothers, Binion and Chase, this spells trouble. But along with their Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame father, Mike, these second generation PRCA stock contractors set out on a mission to give back to the industry that has been their lives since birth. And so arose the Ace High Rough Stock Academy. Providing students with a better understanding of riding techniques, chute safety, and confidence in the rodeo arena-- the Ace High Rough Stock Academy was formed by the Cervi family as a nonprofit organization which provides free clinics to students of any age and experience. Unlike other schools and “rodeo camps” available, Ace High provides three advantages for students who join them: 1) free tuition, 2) training in all aspects of the rodeo industry, and 3) personal feedback and coaching from world champion cowboys. To date, 16 schools have been held in four states with over 660 total participants. In 2017 along, students at our Ace High schools represented 14 states across the U.S., as well as Alberta, Canada.
Judd naPier is 38 years old and originally from Hawaii. He was born and raised on the island of Oahu, a third generation cowboy. Growing up around rodeo and the western lifestyle, Judd came up through the ranks of high school rodeo and intercollegiate rodeo where he competed in team roping, steer wrestling, and bull riding. A close friend, Wacey Munsell, is one reason Judd started fighting bulls. Judd would travel with Wacey to rodeos and freestyle bullfights to watch, and soon grew a passion for it himself.

riChie harris was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He has been fighting bulls for 28 years. Richie is a city boy turned cowboy and becoming a Rodeo Clown/ Bullfighter has been a dream of his since the age of 9 after meeting Leon Coffee at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. After fighting bulls for Little Britches and High School rodeos for a few years he received his PRCA card in 2000.
He has been very fortunate to have worked some of the top rodeo’s in the United States, the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver, Colorado and the Fiesta Days in Spanish Fork, Utah just to name a few. He has also worked
many other well-known PRCA rodeos as well as some PBR’s for the past 20 years.
The two most important things in Richie’s life is God and his family, with rodeo definitely next in line. Alongside his wife Christine, they are busy raising their 4 beautiful children – Braiden (17), Mckenna (14), Kaisen (10), and Caiden (6). When the family is not busy with school and sports, they love traveling to all the rodeos together and being a part of such a great rodeo community. Richie has been very blessed with his rodeo journey thus far and looks forward to what the future holds.
Kevin has been Clowning around for over 45 years. He received his ProCard 37 years ago, and has been entertaining crowds all over the Northwest. Kevin has had the opportunity of working rodeos from the Canadian border to the Mexico border and also Hawaii. The first part of his career Kevin fought bulls and did comedy. He was respected by the bull riders enough as a Bullfighter to be voted to protect them at the Wilderness Circuit Finals 6 years straight 1985-1990.
Then as things go, years slow you down, he decided to make a move to just entertaining and be a barrel man. It was a good move for Kevin, he was called once again to be the barrel man at the Wilderness Circuit Finals, Columbia River Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals, Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals and Dodge National Finals barrel man.
Kevin has a lot of new and original acts and he is always trying to come up with even more. Kevin says that is what keeps him going back to some of the

same places for over 24 years.
One of the things folks like most about Kevin is his enthusiasm for Rodeo and the ability to keep that enthusiasm through the entire rodeo performance. Some of his acts are Sonic Wash, White Lightning, Dipstick the barrel racing dog, and many other filler acts. Kevin’s newest act is the Compact Car.
Kevin’s main interest is his family. He lives in Hooper, Utah with his wife Tammy and 4 sons, 3 daughters-in-law and 8 grandkids. He believes in rodeo as a great family sport and entertainment. He raises bucking bulls, owns/operates Circle H Construction and skis with the National Ski Patrol.

Miss Evergreen Rodeo
Hello everyone! My Name is Amanda Cook and I am your Miss Evergreen Rodeo Queen 2025! I am so honored to be representing the beautiful community of Evergreen Colorado and my home town!
I am 24 years old and was born and raised in Evergreen under the roof of my amazing parents Shane and Theresa Cook along side my 6 other siblings! I have been riding horses since I was 6 months old and made that love grow by competing for Evergreen Rodeo JR princess in 2011, and after finishing my reign as junior princess I joined the Westernaires at the age of 11 with my entire family. We performed all over traveling with the Westernaires not only in state but out of state as well. I graduated Westernaires at the age of 19 off of Varsity Big Red at the National Western Stock Show as well as 6 other Varsity level performance teams including trick and fancy riding.
I am currently studying Veterinary medicine as well as equine since I plan to continue to grow my love and knowledge for animals by furthering my career as a Veterinary Assistant and one day become a certified Veterinary Technician. When I’m not working or furthering my education you can find me hunting or fishing with my family and friends now under the guidance of my big ol’ German Shepard Max, who watches over me and his big horse friends from up above….
As I place this crown on my hat and sash on my shoulder I look forward to continue traveling all over Colorado, making great memories with my Princess Josie, furthering our education as well as educating fans not only about the great sport we call rodeo but also about the western way of life.
I am honored to be your 2025 Miss Evergreen Rodeo Queen, See y’all father’s day weekend in Evergreen!

Josie Sandifer 2025 Evergreen Rodeo Princess
Hey there everyone! My name is Josie Sandifer, and I am your 2025 Evergreen Rodeo Princess . I am so grateful that I get to represent not just The Evergreen Rodeo, but my hometown as well. This will be my third year as an Evergreen Rodeo royalty title holder, and it is such an honor for me to be able to do so.
I am 16 years young and I am the fourth generation to proudly call Greystone Ranch my home. This is where my love for horses came to life. When I first started riding horses, I was only a year and a half old now I have an outstanding 20-yearold quarter horse/palomino named Smokey. He enjoys playing in lakes and taking care of queens in and out of the arena! I am a sister, a daughter, and a granddaughter!
I am attending the local high school for my sophomore year and in my free time I enjoy going on trail rides, snowmobiling, hunting, and going to rodeos! For 5 years I played volleyball but with co-vid I kind of got out of it and started in the great world of rodeo. this has been more then a dream come true for me and I can not wait to see what all this program has in store for me for my 2024/2025 year!
My family and I have been going to the Evergreen rodeo and parade every year since I war born. Being able to grow up in that kind of atmosphere has helped shape me into the person I am today and I will forever be grateful for the gifts this program and rodeo has gifted me!
I can’t wait to learn more and be able to give people the knowledge about one of the toughest sports out there and learn new things every day!
Come on out to the Evergreen Rodeo Father’s day weekend to celebrate the beautiful Western tradition of rodeo!
Hello! I am Theresa Cook and I am an Evergreen Native who loves my town’s western heritage. It is my passion to preserve this way of life which includes the great sport of Rodeo. I’ve grown up riding and training horses. I went to CSU and studied Veterinary Medicine specializing in equine science. My husband Shane and I have 7 children of whom we have raised with a traditional set of standards anchored with western ethics and pride. Serving means giving back. I want to give back not only to my home town but to the Rodeo as well. I have a strong faith and a love for family, agriculture and community. Solidifying and protecting a strong foundation in these three areas is critical for their continued prosperity. Our Royalty have been hand picked by NWSS to represent Rodeo multiple times due to their great attitude and eagerness to serve and give back to the community. I help keep this great organization strong and continue to grow it as a staple for education in agriculture and love of the sport. Serving the ERA is two fold. It gives back to my home town and it helps ensure the enjoyment of rodeo for generations to come. Long Live Evergreen Rodeo!

barebaCK riding is one of the most physically demanding events in rodeo. A bareback rider sits directly on a bucking horse, with only his own “riggin’” to hang onto. As the horse comes out of the chute, the cowboy’s feet must be above the break of the horse’s shoulders. He holds his feet up at least through the horse’s first move, usually a jump, then spurs the horse on each jump, matching the horse’s rhythm and showing control rather than flopping around. He may not touch the horse, his equipment or himself with his free hand. If the ride lasts eight seconds, two judges award up to 25 points each for the cowboy’s “exposure” to the strength of the horse and his spurring technique and up to 25 points each for the horse’s bucking strength and moves.
sTeer wresTling deMands coordination between two mounted cowboys – the contestant and a hazer who controls the steer’s direction – and their horses. The cowboys back their horses into the box on each side of the steer. When the contestant nods, the chute gate opens and the steer gets a head start before the cowboys start to chase him. As the steer wrestler draws even, he dismounts from his horse, which is moving at perhaps 30 miles an hour. He grasps the steer’s horns and digs his boot heels into the dirt to slow down the 500- to 600-pound steer. Then he wrestles the steer onto its side; when all four legs point in the same direction, the clock stops. Times vary widely depending on the size of the arena.

What is Breakaway Roping?
Breakaway roping is an equine sport developed in the western United States in which a person horseback ropes a calf around the neck, with the roper’s rope “breaking away” from the saddle once the calf is far enough away from the horse.
How Does Breakaway Roping Work?
In breakaway roping, a calf is loaded into the roping chute and the roper enters the box on the right side (heeler’s side) of the roping chute. The breakaway roper waits in the corner of the box with the calf in the chute until his or her horse is standing squarely looking ahead. Then the roper nods his or her head and a chute operator opens the gate, allowing the calf to enter the arena.
Once leaving the box, the roper’s horse runs after the calf from behind, putting the roper in position to rope the calf around the neck in a bell-collar catch. When the calf is caught, the roper stops his or her horse abruptly, pulling the rope tight and breaking the small string that ties it to the saddle horn—marking the end of the run and stopping the clock. In most associations and competitions, ropers are required to have a flag—usually made from a bandana or white cloth—at the end of their rope to make the break easier for a judge
(often called a flagger) to see. The fastest time wins.
Who Can Compete in Breakaway Roping?
Breakaway roping is primarily a women’s event, but it is also a steppingstone event for young boys to help them learn to calf rope in the National Little Britches Rodeo Association and other similar organizations. In American Quarter Horse Association competition, both men and women can compete in breakaway roping. In the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association—the largest sanctioning body at the professional level of the sport—only women can compete.

TeaM roPers worK as ParTners: one header and one heeler who move in precise coordination. They and their horses start in the “box.” When the header nods, the chute gate opens and the steer gets a head start. The header throws the first loop, which must catch the steer’s head or horns, protected by a horn wrap. Then the header dallies – wraps his rope around his saddle horn – and moves his horse to pull the rope taut, changing the direction of the steer. That gives the heeler the opportunity to catch both of the steer’s hind legs with his own rope; most heelers try to time their throws to catch the legs when they are in the air. After the catch, the heeler also dallies, to stop the steer. When the ropes are taut and both horses face the steer, the time is recorded. Times vary widely depending on the size of the arena.

in rodeo’s ClassiC evenT, the saddle bronc rider sits on a specialized saddle – it has no horn, and the stirrups are set forward. In the chute, the cowboy adjusts his grip on the rein and perhaps the horse’s position. When the gate opens, his boots must be above the breaks of the horse’s shoulders. After the horse’s first move, usually a jump, the cowboy begins spurring in long, smooth strokes, in sync with the horse’s jumps – legs straight when the bronc comes down, toward the back of the saddle at the top of the jump. His only handhold is a six-foot braided rope; his free hand may not touch his equipment, his body or the horse. If the ride lasts the required eight seconds, it is scored by two judges – one on each side – who assess difficulty and control. Each judge awards up to 25 points for the cowboy’s performance and up to 25 points for the animal’s performance, for a potential of 100 points.

To sTarT This sPrinTing evenT, the tie-down roper and his horse back into the box; the cowboy carries a rope in one hand and a “piggin’ string” in his mouth. When the cowboy nods, the chute opens and the calf gets a head start. The cowboy throws a loop over its head; his horse stops and pulls the rope taut while the cowboy jumps off, dashes down the rope, lays the calf on the ground and uses the piggin’ string to tie any three of its legs together. Then he lifts his hands to show he is finished, and the field flag judge drops a flag to stop the clock. The horse is trained to keep the rope taut until the cowboy remounts and moves the horse toward the calf, giving the rope slack. If the calf’s legs stay tied correctly for six seconds, it’s a qualified run and the time stands.

barrel raCing is JusT ThaT – a race against time in a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels set up in the arena. A rider can choose to begin the cloverleaf pattern to the right or left. The time begins when the horse and rider cross the predetermined start line and stops when they come back across the same line. Each run is timed to the hundredths of a second, making every fraction of a second count. (Starting in 2012, Canadian rodeos now time to the thousandth of a second.) Each tipped-over barrel adds a five-second penalty to the time. Although barrel racing is one of seven events common to many PRCA-sanctioned rodeos, it is administered by a separate organization, the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, which produces its own online media guide.

on the day of the ride.
According to PRCA safety requirements, all contestants must wear long sleeved shirts, long pants, and sturdy shoes or boots. No spurs. Protective vests and helmets will be provided, they can wear their own hockey helmet with full cage if they prefer.
After they ride, rodeo royalty will be on hand to quickly pick them up, get them out of the protective gear and line them up for awards.
bull riding is rodeo’s MosT dangerous evenT. In the chute, the bull rider settles on the bull’s back, wraps his braided rope around the bull’s girth, then loops the rope around his hand and back into his palm so he can grip it tightly. When he nods, the gate is opened and the bull lunges out of the chute. Spurring is optional – the primary goal for the cowboy is to stay on for eight seconds without touching himself, his equipment or the bull with his free hand. The cowboy will be scored highly for staying in the middle of the bull, in full control of the ride. If the ride lasts the required eight seconds, it is scored by two judges who assess difficulty (the bull’s spinning, jumping and kicking, lunging, rearing and dropping, and side-to-side motion) as well as the cowboy’s degree of control. Each judge awards up to 25 points for the cowboy’s performance and up to 25 points for the animal’s performance, for a potential of 100 points. © Copyright 2017 Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association
