Rodeo is an all-American sport. It is also Prescott’s most anticipated event of the year. With a history as rich as the World’s Oldest Rodeo®, it is truly the Prescott way of life. Hundreds of families and generations have competed, supported, attended and watched this all-American sport for the past 132 years. This year is no different — thankfully.
We are thankful for our rich history and try to preserve, celebrate and share those experiences with you, our rodeo family. Each year, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. takes a piece of that history and builds the rodeo theme around that concept. This year, our theme for the 133rd World’s Oldest Rodeo® and the Parade is “History Lives Here.” It is






our goal and intention to share some stories and traditions and reflect on events that took place over the past 132 years that perhaps we still perform in today’s rodeo. Due to restrictions and/or new ways of doing things, some may not occur in our current rodeo performances but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy looking back on them and sharing with you.
It can be a bit confusing to learn and understand what events took place and when, so here are the dates of events that we like to reflect on for making the World’s Oldest Rodeo® what it is today (special thanks to Danny Freeman on the dates provided in his book, World’s Oldest Rodeo®).
In 1888 when this “cowboy tournament” first began, it consisted of saddle bronc riding, steer roping and cow horse racing events. Cow horse racing ended in 1940 but the other two events continued. In 1889, bull riding was introduced as an exhibition with

riding steers, then in 1913 as a contest, and with bulls in 1925.
In 1913, rangeland relay races began and were run until 1940. Wild horse racing and steer wrestling, called bulldogging at first, debuted. Bareback riding began in 1914, calf roping was added in 1917, and both events still exist today.
In 1919 team roping was introduced with bulls at first, then steers began to be roped in 1922 and sometimes range cows were used. In 1920, the all-around cowboy award was first presented. It is the prestigious title many want to clinch by winning the most money in all categories, which can include bucking and timed events. Additionally, the grand entry was first documented that same year and is a tradition that starts each rodeo performance. In 1936, wild-cow milking was a crowd favorite and ran until 1981.
In 1937 the Golden Jubilee celebration was held, which highlighted the 50th


year of rodeo in Prescott. That year also had the first outdoor rodeo held at night under lights. Rodeo royalty was introduced in 1939 and exists at most rodeos around the country to this day. Girls’ barrel racing began in 1959 and is a fan favorite for women.
In 1979, Prescott Frontier Days® was incorporated and is proudly the host organization that puts on the World’s Oldest Rodeo®. In 1983, Prescott Frontier Days® was honored as rodeo committee of the year by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), which included over 700 rodeos.
Many of these early events occurred over several years between 1913 and 1937 and started to put Prescott on the map for hosting the greatest celebration ever held in Arizona on the Fourth of July. In 1948 this rodeo became part of the Rodeo Cowboy Association (RFA), which later became the PRCA and still sanctions this rodeo today.
Outside of the State Fair in Phoenix, nothing was as entertaining as “Prescott Frontier Day,” according to the Prescott Journal-Miner in 1913. That year, the prizes offered drew a large number of contestants, because $3,500 was a lot of money back then. The goal was to attract the expert riders from every section of the Southwest.



In 1964, the chuckwagon races were held at Prescott Frontier Days® for the only time. In 1972 Harry Vold became the stock contractor and his company has held that position ever since. Today, his daughter Kirsten manages the business and does a tremendous job.
Without question, the efforts of those committeemen back in the day are to be given tons of gratitude because Prescott anticipates this event each year. It is a very significant economic engine for the greater Prescott area, and we are extremely grateful to be able to provide that opportunity (especially today) to this amazing community.
You may remember the Smoki dance if you lived in Prescott between 1921 and 1987. In 1921, Prescott Frontier Days® was “broke” and needed a way to make money. So, a group of interested businesses and professional men

and women pooled their time, talent and some money and put on a “Way Out West Show” to raise money for that year’s Fourth of July celebration. Many of those who participated were members of the Prescott Frontier Days® Association and also belonged to the Northern Arizona Fair Association. The combination of workers continued to a large extent through the 1950s, with many of the people who participated actively in the Smoki, Rodeo and Fair Association.
Back in the 1920s, businesses gave their employees Thursday afternoons off. To coincide with this day off the “Way Out West” show presented the first Smoki Ceremonial and Snake Dance at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, May 26, 1921. No one dreamed this pageant would become another major annual attraction in Prescott that continued for well over 65 years. The dancers who performed for the first time that day were known as “Smoki Dancers’’ because the organizers wanted to use an Indian-sounding name. The first participants in the Smoki show in 1921 presented a Native American-style dance in which live bull snakes were used. It was a community favorite that benefited Prescott Frontier Days® to provide the opportunity to put on the cowboy contests.
Today, we continue to create history. We celebrate such traditions and our goal is to provide YOU and your families with an experience that you can continue to embrace and share with your loved ones for many more years!


Enjoy the World’s Oldest Rodeo ® and if we can do anything to make your experience better, please let us know!

Chris J Graff President
Welcome to the 133rd year of the World’s Oldest Rodeo®, presented by Prescott Frontier Days® and sanctioned by ProRodeo.
You can sure say it – History Lives Here! I was born and raised here in Prescott and grew up in the shadows of the Prescott Rodeo Grounds. Our parade grand marshal this year is Cody Custer, 1992 World Champion of Bull Riding, who qualified for National Finals Rodeo eight times & the Professional Bull Riding Finals nine times. Cody grew up in Prescott and Wickenburg. His dad was a bull rider and his granddad was a bronc rider and a great cowboy.

Prescott Frontier Days® paid out $244,470 in prize money in 2019, with 566 pro rodeo cowboys in attendance.
This rodeo couldn’t survive without our sponsors and volunteers. I would like to thank every volunteer and all of our sponsors for their support.
Let’s all be thankful for the country we live in and the freedom we as Americans all enjoy!

The World’s Oldest Rodeo® is known as being one of the top best 40 rodeos in the U.S.
Part of that comes from the traditions and excellence that is presented each year at the World’s Oldest Rodeo®, but the other part of that is the nostalgia, reputation and pride associated with “winning Prescott”.
For the past 132 years, this Rodeo has drawn some of the best cowboys and cowgirls ever to live and compete in the professional sport of rodeo. Prescott Frontier Days® is a prestigious rodeo that contestants crave to win, hence the reason the draw of top names in professional rodeo enter the arena each and every year. From the stellar stock contractor (Vold Rodeo Company) to the rodeo announcer (Randy Corley) to the General Manager (J.C. Trujillo), contestants know they are going to be treated fairly, respected and greeted by friendly and reputable rodeo personnel. This is the best of the best folks!
The competition is strong, challenging and consistent. The cowboys know it and look forward to competing in hopes of winning the go-round, the average and then the rodeo. Those that win have to earn the most money
in their category, have the fastest time or the highest score, depending on which event they are competing in.
Like other sports, a trophy, in addition to cold-hard cash is the main purpose of the competition. However, in professional rodeo, it is the buckle that is the main trophy. The Prescott Frontier Days® buckle is one of the most coveted buckles to win amongst professional cowboys and cowgirls. Perhaps it means, you really are the best and when it is worn, that is the sentiment that goes along with it. “Oh, wow you won Prescott last year?” CONGRATS! (From one contestant to another)
Each year, the chat behind the chutes is “I just want to win that buckle!”
And when they do, each one of them, it comes with a sense of pride, accomplishment and a rodeo committee that is honored to have such great athletes carry on the tradition for years and years to come.
SO, if you see a rodeo cowboy that has a Prescott Frontier Days® buckle, say congratulations, they will thank you.
See you at the R-O-D-E-O!





July 4, 2020 is an historic day. Not only is it America’s 245th birthday, but it also marks the 133rd year of “The World’s Oldest Rodeo®” in none other than Prescott, Arizona.
On July 4, 1888, a group of Prescott merchants and businessmen organized what they called a “cowboy tournament” offering cash prizes and showcasing the spirit, skill and athleticism of local cowboys and ranchers.
132 years later, the Prescott Rodeo is recognized as the birthplace of the modern sport of rodeo — and one of the most exciting opportunities to experience the boundless spirit of the desert southwest as part of Prescott Frontier Days®
Through the decades, much in our world has come and gone, but the Prescott Rodeo has endured — not missing a single year of action since 1888.

132 years ago, a group of Prescott merchants and professional businessmen organized the first formalized “cowboy tournament,” where local cowboys and ranchers exhibited their ranch-bred skills and athletic ability.
On July 4, 1888, Prescott, Arizona became the birthplace of the modern rodeo, an essential piece of Arizona’s history and spirit.
This year, we celebrate the 133rd year of “The World’s Oldest Rodeo®,” a crowning achievement for all those who have continued to keep the spirit of the desert southwest alive and part of the Prescott Frontier Days®.
Prescott Frontier Days® are a celebration of something inherently Arizonan, a tradition we have continued
to carry with us through challenges and triumphs for more than thirteen decades. We appreciate the support of the community, organizers and sponsors of this year’s rodeo, and to the competitors - we wish you all the best of luck!
To locals and visitors - welcome to “The World’s Oldest Rodeo® !” We hope you enjoy your time here in beautiful Arizona.
Sincerely,

Debbie Johnson Director, Arizona Office of Tourism

Greetings, Rodeo Fans, and Welcome to Prescott:
We are thrilled to host the 133rd edition of the iconic World’s Oldest Rodeo®. We are proud of our Western heritage, and particularly this year Prescott Frontier Days® is one of our most anticipated and celebrated events. The restrictions and lifestyle modifications we’ve all made in light of the COVID-19 pandemic made everyone’s spring quite different and so now we are happy to welcome back some normalcy and celebrate our community’s strength and perseverance with the rodeo. Rodeo Days give us all an opportunity to come together and enjoy our beautiful hometown and rich history.
In addition to the rodeo, Prescott also cherishes being established in 1864 as the territorial capital of Arizona. We are home to the iconic Whiskey Row, the Sharlot Hall Museum which houses the territorial governor’s mansion, the Phippen Museum of Western Art, the Western Heritage Museum and the Museum of Indigenous People (formerly the Smoki Museum).
Prescott is an ideal place for those seeking a historic, charming
community surrounded by natural beauty and infused with culture and higher education. With a comfortable year-round climate, access to the Prescott National Forest, over 500 miles of multiuse trails, five sporting lakes and four museums, Prescott offers Old West culture mixed with artistic creativity and a love of the outdoors.
While in Prescott be sure to visit our one-of-a-kind, locally owned shops, restaurants, bars, breweries, and cafes which add to the unique charm of our city.
Thank you for joining us to celebrate the 133rd World’s Oldest Rodeo® and nearly 175 years of rich Prescott history. Enjoy the rodeo, and best of luck to all of our contestants!
Sincerely,
Greg Mengarelli
Greg Mengarelli Mayor, City of Prescott

It is with great anticipation that we welcome the World’s Oldest Rodeo® to Yavapai County again this year; just having gotten a ‘green light’ from our governor to hold this event! There will be some unique memories of the year 2020 for our community, and we would like this to become one of the happiest ones for you, our rodeo fans!
The World’s Oldest Rodeo® will be one of the first events of its scale held in the nation this summer and carries great significance as we aim to re-open the U.S., the state of Arizona, and Yavapai County. As the local Public Health Director, I have been working closely with the rodeo planning committee, and it is my hope that this event will exemplify adherence to the new COVID-19 guidance for sporting events. The committee aims to provide an enjoyable, yet safe, experience for competitors and a limited
number of fans, which reinforces CDC, PRCC, and local guidance on physical distancing, hand washing and hygiene, sanitization, and other best practices to reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19. Due to probable limitations on in-person spectator attendance for safe physical distancing, the rodeo is likely to be televised to alternate Prescott locations for additional viewing and enjoyment.
It is a pleasure to be part of the planning of this event, and I hope that you, the fans, will enjoy the rodeo, our local businesses, and our beautiful community respectfully, safely, and responsibly.
Sincerely,
Leslie Horton, MA, MCHES, Director, Local

Health Officer, Yavapai County Community Health Services

Popular local musician Sky Conwell has been called Prescott’s “hardest working” entertainer. With four working bands and a solo act playing all around town nearly every day (often multiple times in one day), he certainly lives up to the hype. When asked the question

“Where do you play?” he often replies with a question of his own, “Where do I NOT play?” There is a reason Sky is so popular - he is talented, fun, personable, and he has a way of making his audience smile of pure enjoyment.
Country music is Sky’s roots. His band Lonesome Valley plays popular country dance hits that span decades. Set lists include tunes by Hank Williams, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, Steve Earle, Darius Rucker, Kenny Chesney, and Chris Stapleton. The band also likes to throw in some familiar classic country rock dance

tunes to liven things up, with tunes by The Eagles, CCR, or Tom Petty.
Also in the band is George Janak, the most wanted bass player/lead guitarist in town, and drummer Mike Hutchinson, who has shared the stage with many celebrities such as Charlie Rich, Dottie West, and Barbara Mandrell.

Our story starts in Prescott, Arizona Territory, located in Yavapai County, even as it is today. In that year of 1888, it was a small town, just 24 years old. It was this town, Prescott, that became the birthplace to professional rodeo as we know it today.
American settlers and government people came to the area of presentday Prescott early in 1864 and established the first capital of Arizona Territory. As the area filled with miners, military people and freighters, cattlemen moved in with their herds to furnish beef to the meat-hungry population.
Continuing growth in population in the area brought about the establishment of more and more ranches. An ever-increasing number of cowboys came in to do the work on the ranches until by the 1880s there were about as many cowboys in the area as there were miners. Quite naturally, the townspeople were interested in what went on


on the ranches and in the mines because their livelihood depended on those two main forms of industry.
In those days, as today, ranches held roundups once or twice a year. At that time, cattle were branded, ears marked, the males castrated and those male and female to be marketed were separated out. Roundups over, the cowboys of the various ranches, eager for fun and recreation after what often was grueling work, challenged each other to decide who was the best roper and the best “bronco” rider. These informal, spontaneous occasions offered an opportunity for both friends and participants to watch and wager money on their favorites. Cowboys and ranchers alike looked forward to these friendly and exciting events.
Beginning that first year, in 1864, when Prescott became the state capital, elaborate plans were made to celebrate Independence Day on the Fourth of July.
Back in those days, sporting events were not held in Prescott, nor anywhere across America, on the Fourth of July. That day was dedicated to parades, band concerts, patriotic oratory and the like. Until July 4, 1888!


Without realizing it, and with no intent on its part of doing so, the committee that organized the big Fourth of July celebration beginning back in 1888 made sports history!
In their planning, committee members established the criteria of organized, modern rodeo. The rules were: 1. A committee must organize and put the rodeo on; 2. Cowboys had to be invited to compete; 3. Admission was charged to pay expenses; 4. Prizes were awarded; 5. Documentation must occur for each event. Thus, professional rodeo was born at Prescott, Arizona Territory — first capital of Arizona — during that 1888 July 4th celebration.
This year, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. will hold the 133rd World’s Oldest Rodeo® at the Prescott Rodeo Grounds.
























The character of Jack Daniel’s, the whiskey with the iconic black-andwhite label on the equally iconic square bottle, is bound up in the character of Jack Daniel, the brand’s founder and first master distiller.
The Jack Daniel’s website suggests its founder Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel was born in 1850 (the date on his tombstone); the Tennessee state library website lists his birthdate as September 5, 1846; and in a 2004 biography, author Peter Krass says he was born in January 1849. Whatever his actual birthdate, his parents were Calaway and Lucinda Cook Daniel and he was of Welsh, Scottish, English and Scots-Irish descent.
Jack ran away from home after his father died. He was taken in by a
local lay preacher and moonshine distiller named Dan Call and he began learning the distilling trade. In 1875, after receiving an inheritance from his father’s estate, Jack founded a legally registered distilling business with Call. He took over the whole thing shortly afterward when Call quit for religious reasons. In 1884 Jack purchased the hollow and land where the distillery is now located.
A physically small man only 5 feet 2 inches tall, Jack Daniel devoted his time to the ideal of making a whiskey that, thanks to charcoal filtering and other factors, he could be proud to sell at a premium price. He wanted his whiskey to be special so he used only the iron-free cave spring water on his property, along with the finest


grains, filtering it through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal.
Jack Daniel never married and did not have any children. However, he took his nephews under his wing - one of whom was Lemuel “Lem” Motlow, who was skilled with numbers and was soon doing all the distillery’s bookkeeping. In 1907, due to failing health, Jack gave the distillery to Lem and another nephew. Lem soon bought out his partner and operated the distillery for about 40 years.
Jack died in 1911. For July 4, 2011, Jack Daniel’s launched a media blitz to celebrate the independent American spirit. A poster from that campaign reads, “56 men signed the Declaration of Independence, one man put it in a bottle.”




Wild horse racing became a part of the Prescott Frontier Days® Celebration in 1913 as part of the first Cowboy Contest to be held at the present site. The first race consisted of five to eight teams of three men catching, saddling the wild horse, and racing around the half-mile track to determine the winner. The wild horse race was stopped in 1950 due to the traveling expense of the teams across the USA. In 1972, with the arrival of Harry Vold and his top-rated rodeo stock company, wild horse racing became the opening event once more at the World’s Oldest Rodeo®
Today, the show is pretty much as it was in 1913 within arena space limitations. The teams consist of three key players: a shankman, a mugger, and a rider. The unpredictable sport often leaves spectators mesmerized by an arena filled with wild horses and cowboys running about. The object of this Buckaroo Brilliance is simple — contain a 1,200-pound unbroken bucking horse with nothing but a lead shank and halter. Bring him to a stop, control the animal’s actions, cinch down a saddle and buck him to the finish line. This must be performed while other teams are trying to accomplish the identical task at the same time and all in less than two minutes. Does the expression Wild Wild West come to mind?
Over the past 100 years, the event of three-man bronc riding has been refined and the sport

has evolved into more than just a tradition, but one of the most challenging and competitive events in Professional Rodeo.
As with many sports, cowboys are always looking to up the ante. Just as the sport of MotorCross introduced
BY
us to the “X-Games,” television reality show competitions brought us “Xtreme Fear Factor,” and even the PRCA has introduced Extreme Bulls. In 2012, a group of professional cowboys decided to take Rodeo to the next level with the introduction of Xtreme Bronc Riding.







Speed and strength are the name of the game in steer wrestling. In fact, with a world record sitting at 2.4 seconds, steer wrestling is the quickest event in rodeo. The objective of the steer wrestler, who is also known as a “bulldogger,” is to use strength and technique to wrestle a steer to the ground as quickly as possible. That sounds simple enough.
Here’s the catch: the steer generally weighs more than twice as much as the cowboy and, at the time the two come together, they’re both often traveling at 30 miles per hour. Speed and precision, the two most important ingredients in steer wrestling, make bulldogging one of rodeo’s most challenging events. As with tie-down and team ropers, the bulldogger starts on horseback in a box. A breakaway rope barrier is attached to the steer and stretched across the open end of the box. The steer gets a head start determined by the size of the arena. When the steer reaches the advantage point, the barrier is released and the bulldogger takes off in pursuit. If the bulldogger breaks the barrier before the steer reaches his head start, a 10-second penalty is assessed.
In addition to strength, two other skills critical to success in steer wrestling are timing and balance. When the cowboy reaches the steer, he slides down and off the right side of his galloping horse, hooks his right arm around the steer’s right horn, grasps the left horn with his left hand and, using strength and leverage, slows the animal and wrestles it to the ground. His work isn’t complete until the steer is on its side with all four feet pointing the same direction. That’s still not all there is

to it. To catch the sprinting steer, the cowboy uses a “hazer,” who is another mounted cowboy who gallops his horse along the right side of the steer and keeps it from veering away from the bulldogger.
The efforts of the hazer can be nearly as important as those of the steer wrestler. For that reason, and the fact that he sometimes supplies the bulldogger with a horse, the hazer often receives a fourth of the payoff.

Bareback riders endure more abuse, suffer more injuries and carry away more long-term damage than all other rodeo cowboys.
To stay aboard the horse, a bareback rider uses a rigging made of leather and constructed to meet PRCA safety specifications. The rigging, which resembles a suitcase handle on a strap, is placed atop the horse’s withers and secured with a cinch.
Bareback riding has been compared to riding a jackhammer with one hand. As the bronc and rider burst from the chute, the rider must have both spurs touching the horse’s shoulders until the horse’s feet hit the ground after the initial move from the chute. This is called “marking out.” If the cowboy fails to do this, he is disqualified.
As the bronc bucks, the rider pulls his knees up, rolling his spurs up the horse’s shoulders. As the horse descends, the cowboy straightens his legs, returning his spurs over the point of the horse’s shoulders in anticipation of the next jump.

Making a qualified ride and earning a money-winning score requires more than just strength. A bareback rider is judged on his spurring technique, the degree to which his toes remain turned out while he is
spurring and his willingness to take whatever might come during his ride.
It’s a tough way to make a living, all right. But, according to bareback riders, it’s the cowboy way.

As with saddle bronc riding and team roping, the roots of tie-down roping can be traced back to the working ranches of the Old West. When calves were sick or injured, cowboys had to rope and immobilize them quickly for veterinary treatment. Ranch hands prided themselves on the speed with which they could rope and tie calves, and they soon turned their work into informal contests.
Today, the mounted cowboy starts from a box, a threesided fenced area adjacent to the chute holding the calf. The fourth side of the box opens into the arena.
A cowboy’s success in tie-down roping depends in large part on the precise teamwork between him and his horse. The calf receives a head start that is determined by the length of the arena. One end of a breakaway rope barrier is looped around the calf’s neck and stretched across the open end of the box. When the calf reaches its advantage point, the barrier is released. If the roper breaks the barrier before the calf reaches its head start, the cowboy is assessed a 10-second penalty.
The horse is trained to come to a stop as soon as the cowboy throws his loop and catches the calf. The cowboy then dismounts, sprints to the calf and throws it by hand, a maneuver called flanking. If the calf is not standing when the cowboy reaches it, he must allow the calf to get back on its feet before flanking it. After the calf is flanked, the roper ties any three legs together with a pigging string - a short, looped rope he clenches in his teeth during the run.

While the contestant is accomplishing all of that, his horse must pull back hard enough to eliminate any slack in the rope, but not so hard as to drag the calf.
When the roper finishes tying the calf, he throws his hands in the air as a signal that the run is completed. The roper then remounts his horse, rides forward to create slack in the rope and waits six seconds to see if the calf remains tied. If the calf kicks free, the roper receives no time.

Saddle bronc riding is rodeo’s classic event, both a complement and contrast to the wilder spectacles of bareback riding and bull riding. This event requires strength to be sure, but the event also demands style, grace and precise timing.
Saddle bronc riding evolved from the task of breaking and training horses to work the cattle ranches of the Old West. Many cowboys claim riding saddle broncs is the toughest rodeo event to master because of
the technical skills necessary for success. Every move the bronc rider makes must be synchronized with the movement of the horse. The cowboy’s objective is a fluid ride, somewhat in contrast to the wilder and less controlled rides of bareback riders.
One of the similarities shared by saddle bronc and bareback riding is the rule that riders in both events must mark out their horses on the first jump from the chute. To properly

mark out his horse, the saddle bronc rider must have both heels touching the animal above the point of its shoulders when it makes its first jump from the chute. If the rider misses his mark, he receives no score.
While a bareback rider has a rigging to hold onto, the saddle bronc rider has only a thick rein attached to his horse’s halter. Using one hand, the cowboy tries to stay securely seated in his saddle. If he touches any part of the horse or his own body with his free hand, he is disqualified.
Judges score the horse’s bucking action, the cowboy’s control of the horse and the cowboy’s spurring action. While striving to keep his toes turned outward, the rider spurs from the points of the horse’s shoulders to the back of the saddle. To score well, the rider must maintain that action throughout the eight-second ride. While the bucking ability of the horse is quite naturally built into the scoring system, a smooth, rhythmic ride is sure to score better than a wild, uncontrolled effort.

Team roping, the only true team event in the PCRA’s ProRodeo, requires close cooperation and timing between two highly skilled ropers -- a header and a heeler -- and their horses. The event originated on ranches when cowboys needed to treat or brand large steers and the task proved too difficult for one man.
The key to success? Hard work and endless practice. Team roping partners must perfect their timing, both as a team and with their respective horses. Similar to tie-down ropers and steer wrestlers, team ropers start from the boxes on each side of the chute from which the steer enters the arena. The steer gets a head start determined by the length of the arena.
One end of a breakaway barrier is attached to the steer and stretched

across the open end of the header’s box. When the steer reaches his advantage point, the barrier is released, and the header takes off in pursuit, with the heeler trailing slightly further behind. The ropers are assessed a 10-second penalty if the header breaks the barrier before the steer completes his head start. Some rodeos use heeler barriers too.
The header ropes first and must make one of three legal catches on the steer — around both horns,
around one horn and the head or around the neck. Any other catch by the header is considered illegal and the team is disqualified. After the header makes his catch, he turns the steer to the left and exposes the steer’s hind legs to the heeler. The heeler then attempts to rope both hind legs. If he catches only one foot, the team is assessed a fivesecond penalty. After the cowboys catch the steer, the clock is stopped when there is no slack in their ropes and their horses face one another.

Barrel racing has no judges but time and accuracy. It is graceful and simplistic — a cowgirl, three barrels, a horse and a stopwatch. But what a horse — a proven barrel racing horse can cost $50,000! The objective is to ride the horse as quickly as possible around a cloverleaf course of three barrels and win. Hesitate and lose.
The sport is timed to the hundredth of a second. When the racer enters the arena, an electronic eye starts the clock. The clock is stopped the instant the horse completes the pattern. The cowgirl may elect to execute the pattern to the left, completing the pattern to the right, or from the right and complete from the left. Not only must the horse be quick, but intelligent enough to avoid tipping the barrels. An infraction of five-second time penalties per barrel assures no reward of winning.

Rodeo competition, in the beginning, was a natural extension of the daily challenges cowboys confronted on the ranch, such as roping calves and breaking broncs into saddle horses.
Bull riding, which is intentionally climbing on the back of a 2,000-pound bull, emerged from the fearless and possibly foolhardy nature of the cowboy. The risks are obvious. Serious injury is always a possibility for those fearless enough to sit astride an animal that literally weighs a ton and is usually equipped with dangerous horns. Regardless, cowboys do it, fans love it and bull riding ranks as one of rodeo’s most popular events.
Bull riding is dangerous and predictably exciting, demanding intense physical prowess, supreme mental toughness and courage. Like bareback and saddle bronc riders, the bull rider may use only one hand to stay aboard during the eight-second ride. If he touches the bull or himself with his free hand, he receives no score. But unlike the other roughstock contestants, bull riders are not required to mark out their animals. While spurring a bull can add to the cowboy’s score, riders are commonly judged solely on their ability to stay aboard the twisting, bucking mass of muscle. Balance, flexibility, coordination, quick reflexes and, perhaps above all, a strong mental attitude are the stuff of which good bull riders are made.
To stay aboard the bull, a rider grasps a flat, braided rope, which is wrapped around the bull’s chest just behind the front legs and over its withers. One end of the

bull rope, called the tail, is threaded through a loop on the other end and tightened around the bull. The rider then wraps the tail around his hand, sometimes weaving it through his fingers to further secure his grip.
Then he nods his head, the chute gate swings open, and he and the bull explode into the arena.
Every bull is unique in its bucking habits. A bull may dart to the left, then to the right, then rear back. Some spin or continuously circle in one spot in the arena. Others add jumps or kicks to their spins, while others might jump and kick in a straight line or move side to side while bucking.

One mounted cowboy pursues a full-grown steer with reinforced horns; lassos it with his rope, catching the animal by the horns; fastens the rope to his saddle; and stops his horse suddenly. With the steer’s horns roped, the roper throws the slack of the rope over its hip, turns his horse to the left, as the rope tightens it lifts the steer’s hip up and pulls the head around as the steer falls on its side. The cowboy then quickly dismounts and ties three of the steer’s feet with a ‘’pigging string’’ using a half-hitch knot, colloquially called ‘’two wraps, and a hooey.” Raising both hands,the cowboy signals completion of his task.
As in calf roping, the steer must stay tied for six seconds, and the same barrier penalties apply. The event is timed, and the contestant with the fastest time wins.
Steer roping events are held only at select arenas, and a separate

Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) final takes place each year to determine a steer
roping champion. Top professional steer ropers will tie a steer in 10-15 seconds.

In professional rodeo, cowboys share the limelight with the livestock. Rodeo is a rugged, wild sport. Like a wellconditioned athlete, an animal can perform well only if it is healthy. Any cowboy will tell you he takes home a paycheck only when the animal is in top form. Specific rules govern how long an animal can remain in transit before a rest, how many times an animal can perform in a specified period of time, and that an inspection of the animals is required before each performance; any animals deemed not in top condition do not perform.
Additional rules govern facilities to be free of hazards to the animals, specify arena preparation, a conveyance for transport of injured animals, the use of fleeced lined flank straps placed away from an animal’s genitals,
prohibit sharpened spurs by riders, and require the presence of a veterinarian on site for all performances. Stock contractors pay up to five figures for toprated animals. Naturally, this motivates care of these investments. For many, these animals are more than mere investments; they are “members of the family.” The average bucking horse or bull works less than five minutes a year in the arena, as a result they can live to be 20 years and 15 years, respectively. Veterinarians attribute these long, healthy lifespans to good care, quality feed, and adequate exercise.
Some bulls and horses have natural bucking tendencies. The absolute determination to buck if something is on its back, often an inherited trait, is what makes an animal a candidate for rodeo livestock. This tendency is the focus of the “Born to Buck” breeding program. Simply stated, “If everything is done right, when the animals arrive at the arena, they’re excited. They know the game and they’re looking forward to it. They are ready to buck!” Prescott Frontier Days® takes pride in the care and wellbeing of all animals used in performances of the World’s Oldest Rodeo®
Kirsten Vold, Owner — The youngest of six children, Kirsten started taking over the Vold Rodeo Company when she was just 25 years old. Since that time, she has managed to build on the legacy that her Canadian-born father began nearly six decades ago. It may seem like a natural progression, but Kirsten didn’t always see herself living on the rodeo trail.
“I was going to be a lawyer and drive a sports car and live in L.A.,” she said in a 2009 interview.
Home-schooled until her freshman year in high school, Vold grew up on the road, ensconced in the life of the cowboy and the excitement of the rodeo. After graduating from the University of Southern Colorado in 1996 with a BA in communications, Kirsten decided to put her degree to work with a job in sports marketing and promotion.
“If you ask me the number one reason why I do what I do, it’s because of the animals,” she beams. “I love working with animals.”

Vold is now considered a trusted veteran in the industry and her family’s company sets the standard by which all others are measured. Whether at the rodeo or the ranch, Kirsten’s horses are her life and she is committed to breeding and raising champions. In 2015 Kirsten Vold was the recipient of the Tad Lucas Memorial Award and was inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame.

World champion and Arizona native Cody Custer started riding calves and steers at 5 years old and bulls at 13 years old. He won Arizona high school championships in 1983 and 1984 before joining the PRCA in 1985.
He qualified for the National Finals Rodeo every year from 1987 through 1992, when he won the world championship. and spent 21 years as a professional rider earning titles that include 1992 PRCA World Champion, 1992 Coors Showdown National Champion and three-time Dodge Circuit Finals National Champion. Custer was also the Turquoise Circuit Bull Riding Champion from 1989-92.
One of his most memorable rides was in Round 10 of the 1991 NFR, when he scored 94 points on Growney Brothers’ “Wolfman.” His previous high score had been 90 points on World Champion Bull “Skoal Pacific Bell” at the 1988 Grand National Rodeo in San Francisco.
Custer bounced back from a series of injuries following his 1992 gold buckle season to qualify for the NFR in 1998-99. He also won the Cheyenne (Wyoming) Frontier Days bull riding competition in 1999 and remained an active bull rider through 2003.
He qualified for the PRCA National Finals a total of eight times and the Professional Bull Riders Finals nine times. He is one of the original founders of the PBR circuit and was director of judging from 2004 through 2007.
In addition to his success in the arena, he also rode for Hollywood as a stand-in for Lane Frost’s character in the movie 8 Seconds.
Along with his wife Stacey and children Lacey and Brett, Custer now makes his home just outside Sayer, Oklahoma. He still competes competitively in team roping. He actively trains aspiring young athletes in the sport that he loves so much.

runs deep through the roots of the family of Dick & Virginia Tatum. The branches of their roots hold four generations of those who choose to wear the brand and the title of “cowboy”, and to make their way on the “rodeo road.” Dick and Virginia were both born and raised in Yavapai County. They lived on, and worked for, several ranches in Arizona, raising Gwen, Dixie & Danny secure in the roots of ranching. Dick added to his income by riding broncs in arena competition, as a member of the Turtle Association, the pre-cursor to PRCA. This spilled over onto his kids. Daughter, Dixie, as a barrel racer, trick rider and rodeo queen. Son, Danny, as a bareback rider and team roper. Dick & Virginia were gold card members of the Arizona Cowpuncher’s Assoc. The entire family is proficient in team roping and calf roping events as well.
Dixie married Jim Custer in 1965, who was at the time riding bulls and bareback horses, attending NAU on a rodeo scholarship. Jim’s father, Jack, was the fire chief in Prescott for many years until he and his wife, Gladys, retired.
The list of successful achievements in the rodeo arena for this family are actually too many to list fully, but it includes many titles. It is absolutely safe to say that collectively, the members of this family tree, have been in competition in the Prescott arena well over two hundred times. And that’s a conservative estimate.

By 1928 the “Prescott Rules” had become “Rodeo’s Rules of Wide Fame.” They had been worked to a fine point by Lester Ruffner, former arena director, Doc Pardee, arena director in 1926, 1927 and 1928, and Grace Sparkes, secretary of Prescott Frontier Days® since 1915. By 1928, these rules had been found to be almost foolproof and had been copied and used at many of the big rodeos held throughout the country. Few complaints had been lodged against them or the judges during this era and the Prescott rodeo was being held up as a shining example to be copied in other places where cowboy sports were featured.
In 1928, many noted Wild West shows were conducted on the rules adopted in Prescott and made famous through their general acclaim by the show-following punchers. The rules were held to be fair to all concerned: the show directors, the participants and the public which pays its money to take in the contests.

On behalf of the Rodeo Parade Committee, our parade sponsor Barrett Propane, and the many volunteers, we welcome you to the 2020 Prescott Frontier Days® Rodeo Parade. This year our rodeo parade theme is “History Lives Here.”
The first 4th of July parade took place in 1864 when Arizona was still a territory. Now the annual Rodeo Parade is a traditional part of the weeklong rodeo.
After the rodeo parade, we invite you to continue your journey into the celebration of our rodeo and Western
heritage, visit our many historical museums, browse the work of local artisans where tradition lives on, visit our local shops and restaurants, and take part in this grand tradition. We hope you will return often to the greater Prescott area and enjoy the local atmosphere.

Quirt Hunt was ranch-raised and knows the value of man’s relationship with animals. This makes him a natural at bullfighting and protection. Quirt started his career in high school rodeos, stepping in as a backup, Since then he has become one of ProRodeo’s top bullfighters.
Luke Kraut has been a part of the World’s Oldest Rodeo® for the past three years and we are honored to have him as a part of our rodeo team. He was raised on a small cattle station in Queensland, Australia. He was born with a passion for livestock and knew he wanted to make a living around the industry. At 15, Luke started entering some small rodeos in steer riding and novice bull riding and continued to ride bulls in Australia until the age of 19. He traveled to Arizona with some friends and went to an elite rodeo school and
he knew then that America was the place to be if you wanted to rodeo for a living. In 1995 he moved to the U.S. permanently and started to fight bulls as a means to supplement his living. He is also a horse farrier in the greater Phoenix area. He received his PRCA and PBR cards and rode bulls for approximately six years, then truly missed fighting bulls and went back to it.
Fighting bulls has been great to him and it’s truly his passion. Luke has truly an impressive rodeo career and fights bulls in many
Please welcome Mark Swingler to Prescott Frontier Days® ! This is the first time he has granted us his presence, and we hope you enjoy him!

Tough Enough to Wear Pink (TETWP), the grassroots cowboy campaign to fight breast cancer, celebrates its 16th anniversary. Through the combined efforts of hundreds of volunteers and regional rodeos across the U.S. and Canada, TETWP has raised over $20 million since its inception in 2004. The money raised benefits local breast cancer charities and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which funds breast cancer research projects throughout the world. Tough Enough to Wear Pink was created when Terry Wheatley teamed up with former director of special events at Wrangler Karl Stressman and issued a challenge: wear the color pink during competition at the Wrangler NFR. The idea was to bring attention to the need
for breast cancer early detection and a cure. While pink is not typically associated with rough-and-tumble rodeo cowboys, the industry and fans rose to the challenge, filling the arena with the symbolic color. Inspired rodeo associations began asking how they could put on TETWP events at their own hometown rodeos, and the grassroots fundraising took off, one rodeo at a time.
In 2019 Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. raised $15,600 from our Tough Enough to Wear Pink project. The money is used for Fry’s gift cards and donations to YRMC Breast Care Center, for cancer patients in need. These gift cards can be used to help with prescription costs, food needs and fuel to get to treatment appointments.


No administration fee is deducted, allowing 100% of the proceeds to go directly to those in need. Since 2006, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. has donated over $47,000 to help local cancer patients. Profits from pink merchandise available for purchase at the rodeo will go to this community program. The amount donated will depend on the generosity of the community.

Matthew A. Butitta, 86, a longtime Prescott resident, passed away on February 13, 2020. Matt was an accomplished business owner in Prescott and was very involved in the community.
He was the original owner of Matt’s Saloon, and he



made countless friends and was admired by fellow industry leaders statewide. He was an active member of the Yavapai County Mounted Sheriff’s Posse and was part of the founding committee for the vital “Scholars Need Dollars” campaign, which is still active today. Believing that a man in business owes his community something, Matt was always at the forefront when it came to charitable giving through both sweat and financial contributions.



Rodeos, whether small or large, legendary or local, depend on volunteers and sponsors to bring a rodeo to life! To produce the World’s Oldest Rodeo® and others like it takes the community, one and all, their generosity in body, mind, and resources. With the help of volunteers and funds contributed, arena floors are lovingly prepared, grounds and pens are prepared for incoming stock and competitors, grandstands are cleaned, repaired, painted, and areas stocked to await the faithful fans. Behind the scenes, budget and marketing promote rodeo, enlightening a new generation to the unique experience of rodeo.
Most rodeo organizations survive on a small group of individuals handling the day-to-day operations but when rodeo season comes time, talent, and resources are in high demand, but generally in scarce supply. It
doesn’t matter your age, your physical abilities, your skills, or your economic status, everyone is welcome, everyone is appreciated. Every job is important; every cent is valued.
Rodeo is not just a sport; it is a way of life, honored traditions and heritage founded on the open range. For Prescott, and other communities like us, rodeo is the principle that drives our communities, our citizens, and our moral character. To our volunteers and our sponsors, we owe everything! Without you, there would be no rodeo. For 133 years, we have shared our common love of rodeo. We are most humbled, and most grateful for your past and present support, and for the future, yet to come.
Sincerely, Prescott Frontier Days ®, Inc.

During the 1980s the wife of a PRCA cowboy conceived an idea to offer exceptional children a firsthand “rodeo experience.” In partnership with the PRCA, the idea became reality, and Prescott Frontier Days® was honored to participate. After several years, the PRCA program was dissolved, but PFD continued the tradition, recognizing the need within our own community. All rodeo events are modified and take place on the ground, so each contestant can be involved. There are no limits to what they can achieve as long as we help them believe. All participants are treated to dinner and the evening rodeo performance. A goodie bag is provided by the sponsors. In recent years, the partnership with Horses with Heart has expanded the program by utilizing resources of this locally based charitable organization, directly designed to extend and enhance the experiences for our exceptional children. They are truly the “heart” in our rodeo. Please support this truly extraordinary organization.
The Prescott Frontier Days® Rodeo Committee wants to thank all our Sponsors, Horses with Heart and Volunteers; past, present and future in making this event successful each year.

The Warren Wuthier Award is presented to the tie-down roping champion in the form of a beautiful silver and gold trophy buckle crafted by Gary Gist. The award commemorates the contribution to the sport of rodeo by Warren Wuthier and his wife Carol, who
were killed in an automobile accident in 1976.
Warren was a professional rodeo cowboy who competed in tie-down roping and steer wrestling. He finished second in the World AllAround standings in 1970 and served as a vice president of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Carol was a past rodeo queen who was well-known and well-liked in rodeo circles. Both are fondly remembered and sorely missed in the world of professional rodeo.
The Warren Wuthier award was presented to the tie-down champion in Prescott at the World’s Oldest
Rodeo® for the first time in 2009 to Hunter Herrin and continues through 2020. The award, given for the first time in Colorado Springs in 1998, is sponsored by a friend of the Wuthiers, Ed Hitchcock of Lobo Ranch, located in Paulden, Arizona.

The Chuck Sheppard Memorial Buckle pays tribute to a legend, the 1946 World Champion Team Roper and an all-around cowboy.

Sheppard competed during the glory days of legends like Toots Mansfield, Gerald Roberts, Tuffy Cooper, Shoat Webster, Bill Linderman, and Casey Tibbs. Sheppard was an Arizona-raised cowboy, working on ranches and competing at rodeos full time for 24 years. He was known for not only being an outstanding cowboy in the arena but outside of the arena also, working for the K4 Ranch in Prescott for 42 years. Sheppard was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma and also the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Hall

of Fame in Colorado Springs. This buckle is presented to the saddle bronc riding champion and is sponsored by longtime friend Ed Hitchcock of Lobo Ranch, located in Paulden, Arizona.







Each year, with honor and gratitude, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. hosts and welcomes cowboys and cowgirls who competed at the World’s Oldest Rodeo® up until the 1980s. Believe it or not, we have several rodeo legends that live in the Prescott area and around Arizona.
It is a time to stop, say thank you and recognize the rodeo family that is legendary in many ways. Initially, it was by invitation only and was limited to those who lived in Yavapai County. However, during the Centennial year in 1988, the invitation to attend was opened to all who competed before 1950.
These “Old-Timers” represented a special and unique breed of cowboy. Prior to 1948, rodeo was basically done by ranch cowboys. With the creation of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), professional cowboy athletes, who made their living from the rodeo way of life, began to emerge. The ranch cowboy found it difficult to compete with professional cowboys and one by one they withdrew from competition.

Due to health and safety concerns, the 2020 event was canceled. Please join us for 2021.
This reunion is also open to all past cowboys and cowgirls, their spouses, and rodeo queens who’ve competed up until the 1980s.
We celebrate those that join us on the final performance of each year. Many “Old-Timers” get together with others and reminisce about old days, but also talk about what is happening in their lives today. It is truly a joy and honor to watch history in the making, and sometimes this reunion is the only time they see each other all year long.




Circuit cowboys — or “weekend warriors,” as they are sometimes known — typically work normal jobs just like the rest of us. But when the weekend comes, they hit the road to compete in a few rodeos close to home.
While they aren’t less serious about their sport, their families or professional obligations require them to stick closer to home instead of traveling for weeks or months at a time.
In 1975, the PRCA recognized the need for an award system for those cowboys who might never qualify for a Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
The Association created the PRCA’s Circuit System, consisting of 12 geographic regions that include as few as one state or as many as 13. Each PRCA cowboy in the United States chooses a home circuit at the beginning of the year or is assigned to one that corresponds to his home address. Cowboys compete for points throughout the year and points earned within his circuit are applied


toward the standings of his respective circuit.
Each circuit’s top cowboys in each event qualify for that circuit’s “Finals” at the end of the season. The RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo follows all 12 circuit finals.











Don’t wait ‘till you grow up to be a cowboy or cowgirl
Friends and Family | Horses and Cattle | Practice and Competition | Winning and Losing
All are elements of one of this country’s oldest traditions ... RODEO. It is a tradition that not only rewards but teaches individuals the responsibility of self-discipline and hard, yet fun work. The afternoons of practice, the daily responsibility of animal chores, the

weekend traveling to rodeos, and the opportunities they foresee is what lures our young cowboys and cowgirls to join the wonderful world of Junior Rodeo. Divisions include Pre Pee Wee (2-5 yrs); Pee Wee (6-10 yrs); Junior (11-13 yrs); and Senior (14-19 yrs). Requirements of scholastic eligibility and standards of sportsmanship are required for them to join their local junior or high school rodeo team in the area they live and ride.
Contestants compete in ageappropriate events including bull riding, bareback and saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, pole
bending, goat tying, break away roping, calf roping, team roping, chute dogging, and ribbon roping at eight sanctioned rodeos across Arizona: Casa Grande, Gilbert, Buckeye, Wickenburg, Prescott, Williams, Cottonwood and Kingman. State Junior Rodeo Championship top finalists then compete for the coveted national titles and associated college scholarships. Because of the varied lessons in life rodeo participants learn, it is no wonder many parents and their youth have found Junior Rodeo a beneficial investment of their time, money, and efforts.



We have built a lot together over the last 40 years, but more importantly we have built relationships. We have been providing construction, industrial, and special event companies with top-quality rental equipment and tools since 1977. Over that time our company has grown from a single Arizona location to more than 60 branches in 9 states. We are proud to continue the tradition of providing our customers with reliable rental equipment, service and people you can depend on.

An intimate and up-close experience offered to our rodeo sponsors, patrons and media
The World’s Oldest Rodeo© is excited to offer another year of world-class rodeo AND for the fifth year in a row, the Behind the Chutes Tours. This is open to ticket holders on the night the ticket is purchased. It is an intimate tour offered on a first-come, first-serve basis for our rodeo sponsors, ticket holders and media representatives.
This intimate experience is a guided tour literally behind the chutes before our evening performances. It is $10 per person for ticket holders and must be registered in advance, and it fills up fast. There is a limit of 20 people per tour, only open to evening performances. Tour starts at 5:30 p.m. in the top of the grandstands.
During the tour, you will be greeted by a rodeo legend and the general manager of our organization, Mr. JC Trujillo. He welcomes the tour and shares a bit of history, then does a brief overview of what to expect over the next 30 minutes.
Then, the guided tour goes behind the chutes and meets Kirsten Vold of the Vold Rodeo Company. She is the “arena boss,” and her delicate ways of explaining what happens at the bucking chutes is something you don’t want to miss! Here is where you will see livestock up close and personal. You will learn what it means when the rodeo says “rough stock,” how timed events work and also what it means to take care of the livestock. Animal welfare is a focus for this rodeo and our stock contractors — these animals are athletes and are treated appropriately.
Keep your eyes peeled as you may see some of the bullfighters, barrelmen, rodeo contestants and perhaps our rodeo announcer!
The tour continues to the roping chutes, where you will learn what happens when cowboys enter the chute. Here you will see the steer

wrestling steers, team roping steers, and calves used in the tiedown roping.
The tour finale is meeting the largest horses in our arena, the Broken Spoke Clydesdales. This is the Clydesdale hitch that will welcome each performance sponsor and entertain the audience with their specialty act.
The Behind the Chutes Tour is truly another value-added experience at the World’s Oldest Rodeo®. The goal of the tour is to show you what makes the rodeo performance a world-class, professional rodeo.
If you missed your chance this year, make sure to reach out to the rodeo office next year by calling 928-445-3103.
See you at the R-O-D-E-O! We rodeo, we give.


As it has been said more than once, rodeo is an AllAmerican sport. It represents tradition, culture, strength, friendships, family, and this week it is a place where people can gather together to celebrate our freedom, what better time than this?
It has also been mentioned hundreds of times that “we are all in this together” — and that we are! We are Americans, we radiate patriotism, pride in our country and can endure even life’s most challenging times, like we have had to do this year with the COVID-19 pandemic. We are all in this together and we are honored, thankful and truly grateful for your support in Prescott Frontier
Days®, Inc. and the World’s Oldest Rodeo® ! We cannot thank you enough!
With more sincerity than E-V-E-R — we hope you ENJOY and RELAX and CELEBRATE your freedom at the 133rd World’s Oldest Rodeo® !
