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 getting started publishing videos of the rodeo events which will be 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.

Wild Steer Racing
A cold front began to move into the Texas Panhandle by Saturday evening that bringing much-needed relief from the heat of the previous day. However, the temperature dropped quickly and the wind picked up making us all put on more layers of clothing in order to protect us from hypothermia by the end of the rodeo.
