Indiana High School Rodeo Association is a not for profit organization developed to strengthen the sport of rodeo. Many of today's rodeo athletes go on to compete at a college level when finished with high school. Those that choose not to, may continue their sport through jackpots and open shows for many years to come as well as continuing the friendships developed through the participation in Indiana High School Rodeo.

.

Contestants come from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Michigan to participate. Events are held in all areas of Indiana as well as being invited to attend other high school rodeo association events in the mid-western states.

.

Participants and families are encouraged to get involved in what ever manner time allows. A friend is always just around the trailer ready to assist you or your high school participant.
