Open to children and adults with physical and mental exceptionalities, this annual event is a fun way for all to experience the cowboy way of life first hand. Participants enjoy a variety of simulated rodeo events including riding a “bucking barrel”, roping hay bales, stick horse races, and much more! Bring the family and enjoy the festivities.

The 2024 Exceptional Rodeo will take place on Saturday, June 22nd, 10am to 2pm. Registration begins at 9am. The Exceptional Rodeo will be held at the Roy Butler Memorial Arena at Rodeo de Santa Fe Grounds. During the Exceptional Rodeo performance, all of the contestants are assisted (as needed) into the rodeo arena by volunteers of the Rodeo de Santa Fe. While the Exceptional Rodeo is put on by Rodeo de Santa Fe and its many volunteers, it requires the generosity of the community to make it a total success. If you’d like to cheer on the Exceptional Rodeo participants, or help sponsor this event please, contact us.
