Rodeo Details
The rodeo, which runs through July 18, will include competitions and performances such as bull riding and barrel racing. The event is also a fundraiser for the Pikes Peak or Bust Foundation, which supports local military families with quality-of-life initiatives.
According to Skilly Deloach, one of the Rangerettes, the team is a high-speed equestrian drill team that consists of 16 or 20 horses working together to create maneuvers. The team’s performance is likened to synchronized swimming, except on horseback.
