Welcome Rodeo Fans & Friends!
On behalf of the Prescott Frontier Days® board of directors, the PFD membership, and our hardworking, dedicated volunteers we welcome you to Prescott, home of rodeo’s official beginning in 1888, and we thank you for your support.
You are participating and enjoying a piece of history by attending the World’s Oldest Rodeo® celebrating its 136th year! We have an exciting lineup for all eight performances from June 28 through July 4.
We have a record number of PRCA cowboys and WPRA cowgirls competing.
There is mutton bustin’ for the kids: and entertaining specialty acts along with two of rodeo’s best and most informative and engaging announcers in Randy Corley and James Horcasitas. From the patriotism of the National Anthem, the solemn opening prayer, and whistle to start the Wild Horse Race until the last bull bucks, you are in for a fantastic rodeo experience.
We are once again fortunate to have the Vold Rodeo Company as our stock contractor for the 51st time. The Broken Spoke’s Clydesdales and their talented owner/driver Mark DeCoudres will impress and entertain fans of all ages.
Our dedicated and talented pick-up men Dalton Ward and Ty Atchison along with bull fighters Quirt Hunt and Beau Schueth will risk whatever it takes to keep the cowboys safe.
We hope you have a fantastic time in Prescott and enjoy each and every minute of the action packed 136th World’s Oldest Rodeo.
Now it’s time to Cowboy Up!!

Welcome to the 136th year of the World’s Oldest Rodeo®, brought to you, our loyal fans, by Prescott Frontier Days® Inc.
This years’ rodeo is honoring our bullfighters! Celebrating his 20th year, Quirt Hunt returns and is also our Rodeo Parade Grand Marshall, and bullfighting veteran yet newcomer to the Prescott Rodeo, Beau Schueth.
We’ve brought in some great new additions these past few years like the new arena by Priefert, the Women’s Breakaway Roping, and fan favorite- the Mutton Bustin’, which will now be featured as a pre-show activity before every performance. We are making strides in improving the fan experience, safety for our livestock and contestants, and the overall rodeo for everyone involved.
Manager

Let’s Rodeo!
