This year’s rodeo saw record crowds on Friday and Saturday night, and again during its Sunday afternoon “matinee’ rodeo, but on Sunday morning, everyone who is part of the Silver Spurs Riding Club will tell you the same thing, the Exceptional Rodeo is everyone’s favorite rodeo event.
Silver Spurs Riding Club volunteers, along with Rodeo Queens from all over the United States and Canada lead the very special kiddos through the five stations of a traditional rodeo — steer wrestling, barrel racing, roping, bull riding, and bronc riding, utilizing life-sized, interactive animal props, and some wonderfully gentle horses. Participants also had the opportunity to take photos with the Queens of the Miss Silver Rodeo Court.
“The exceptional rodeo is held every year… kids, adults, anyone with disabilities can come and get to sit on a bucking bull, get to ride horses around, there are ropes set up for them to ride roping dummies, there are goats, sheep, a heifer to pet and to touch, and the Sheriff’s Office even brings in an airboat,” said Miss Rodeo Florida, Mikayla Baker.
After experiencing all the rodeo events on the Silver Spurs Arena dirt, each contestant wearing a cowboy hat and number on their back, stepped upon to receive their Silver Spurs Exceptional Rodeo Award and hear their name and that very special announcement… you are a winner! And, they certainly all were, as is the Silver Spurs Riding Club. Positively Osceola thanks everyone who every year makes the Exceptional Rodeo… everyone’s favorite rodeo!
