Our 2026 Semi Pro Team wrapped up their season at Palomino Fest Pro Rodeo 2026 for the Palomino Fest Labor Day Weekend Celebration.
These cowgirls, of ALL ages, overcame so much this season — and accomplished SO MUCH. There is a whole lot to be proud of!!
Our Semi-Pro Team is designed to develop the up-and-coming professionals of our sport — building skills, grooming talent, developing confidence, and training horses for the performance arena.
And what a season of GROWTH it has been.
Some of these cowgirls came to us with ZERO performance experience. Others started the season mounted on 3-year-olds with barely 30 days under saddle.
They ended it carrying OLD GLORY. 🇺🇸
Flying into a Roaring Crowd. 💫
Performing. Growing. Learning to handle pressure. Building horses. Building riders. Gaining the kind of experience that can only be earned out on the RODEO ROAD.
They are coached by some of the best — and some of the toughest — in the sport.
They learn hard lessons.
They grow through pressure.
They adapt to fast changes.
They overcome it all.
They learn that expectations are NON-NEGOTIABLE.
Backed by the saying…
“We won’t lower our expectations because you refuse to RIDE TO THE OCCASION…”
But most importantly, somewhere along the way, they learn…
THEY CAN.
We couldn’t be prouder to send these cowgirls into the next chapter of their riding careers. We’re excited to see where this adventure takes each of them — not only as individuals, but as performance athletes.
And there couldn’t have been a better place to close this chapter. This rodeo has been one of our longtime favorites, and it gave these ladies one incredible final weekend together.
