2022 was the first year to document the West Texas Ranch Rodeo, a qualifying rodeo sanctioned by the Working Ranch Cowboys Association (WRCA), and held in the Will Rogers Range Riders Arena in Amarillo, Texas. The top ranch team in these rodeos will compete in the annual WRCA World Championship Ranch Rodeo.
I am just starting publishing videos of the rodeo events available every Friday on Dusty Reins Stories and American Heartlands Channel.
The first event was Ranch Bronc Riding and YouTube censored the original documentary but you can watch the original uncensored version on Rumble or embedded below.
