WPRA World Finals | Waco, TX | 11/9 – 11/12

The Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) is the oldest women’s sports organization in the country. The Association started in 1948 with a group of Texas ranch women who wanted to add a little color and femininity to the rough-and-tumble sport of rodeo. A major move at the time, 38 women met in a hotel in San Angelo, Texas, on February 28, 1948, to change the way they were being treated in the male-dominated world of rodeo. These women banded together to create the very first professional sports association created solely for women by women – the Girls Rodeo Association (GRA).

The GRA began with 74 original members with 60 approved contests with a total payout of $29,000. In 1981, the GRA changed its name to the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA). Today, the association boasts more than 3,000 members, over 1,500 events and payouts totaling over $5 million.

The San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association initiated the Roping Fiesta in 1954 as a way to help generate revenue for the association in the off season from the stock show and rodeo. The Roping Fiesta has always been at least a two day event, though the events featured have varied to include calf roping, team roping, steer wrestling, steer roping and double mugging.

Tie Down Roping became one of the two staples of the Roping Fiesta in 1962, when the committee added a match roping. A match roping is two contestants facing off on a set number of calves for the coveted title. Match roping’s require not only great physical ability, but mental stamina as well.

Steer Roping is the foundation of the Roping Fiesta. This event is truly one that was developed from ranching techniques to help doctor animals in pasture or field settings. As the number of steer roping events across the nation continue to decrease, we are proud to offer this event in preserving western heritage.

The Roping Fiesta dirt has seen as many national qualifiers and world champions in men’s timed events, as just about any arena you will find. The event serves as a great reunion for roping enthusiasts from across the nation, and is a bit of a homecoming for all West Texans.

We are proud to once again have one of the largest Ladies Breakaway payouts in the entire sport!! In 2023, we paid out nearly $100,000 to the ladies!

This is open to all ladies of all ages! You want breakaway in San Angelo, well here you go!

We put together a program that, even today, celebrates the men and women who make their living horseback working cattle to provide beefsteak for the dinner tables of America. In 30+ years, we have continued to grow and serve as a platform to present competitions for our scholarship program awarded to young people which, as of today, exceeds $1,000,000. The award is made to deserving young people who want to further their education. Our audience is from all over this great nation as well as other parts of the planet. The excitement of the ranch rodeo, the entertainment value of the cowboy music and poetry presentations, the sights, sounds, and smells of the chuckwagon camp, and the time spent dancing to western swing music make for a fun-filled family western weekend.
