Join us for a one-of-a-kind event where skilled dogs and their handlers take on real ranch challenges—herding livestock, navigating obstacles, and showcasing their amazing teamwork.

Based in Denver, Colorado, Shockwave Trick Riders train year-round to perform high-velocity tricks on horseback, including impressive acrobatic moves and daring stunts as Roman riding standing atop two galloping horses. Their high-energy shows consistently earn rave reviews. Don't miss this exhilarating demonstration!

Come support our young contestants as they compete for cash and prizes.  Mutton busting is always a fan favorite.  Older youths demonstrate their athleticism and horsemanship in gymkhana events: barrel racing, breakaway roping, pole bending, goat tying and more. If you'd like to enter, get more information here! 

Cowboy Mounted Shooting is a team sport between you and your horse, where the fastest time wins. Unlike other speed horsemanship events, there are more than 60 courses that shooters will encounter. We engage the course with two Long Colt .45 single action revolvers. This means you have to pull the hammer back each time you fire the pistol. The ammunition that is used for Cowboy Mounted Shooting is specifically manufactured for the CMSA. They are blanks with just enough powder to engage or pop the targets. This will help ensure the safety of the rider, horse and spectators."

Don't miss Crystal Lyon's inspiring Cowboy Church she delivers from horseback; it’s entertaining, very real, often funny, and ALWAYS powerful.  What’s not to like?
