V6 Rodeo Academy
September 15-19, 2025
Learn ranch rodeo skills WITH INSTRUCTION FROM PROFESSIONAL COWBOYS AND COWGIRLS
DEEP-DIVE INTO COW-WORKING AND ROPING SKILLS on this CORRAL-BASED RIDE
What to expect
On the V6 Rodeo Academy (formerly Cowboy Academy 102) we will focus on ranch rodeo skills like roping, barrel racing, sorting, and more.
You’ll hone your skills on both live cattle and a mechanical roping steer and receive instruction from experienced cowboys and cowgirls who compete in professional rodeo.
At the end of each V6 Rodeo Academy guests put their skills to the test in a fun and lighthearted competition. The champion wins a beautiful belt buckle and bragging rights for life!
Bring your own horse or ride one of our experienced V6 Ranch Horses. Open to all skill levels.
