SOME of Australia’s top bull riders will compete in a new rodeo event in Alstonville next month, with Bulls, Broncs and Barrels set to bring a packed night of action to the showground.<\/p>\n

The event, organised by the Alstonville Agriculture Society, is part of the National Rodeo Association season and will take place at Alstonville Showground on Saturday, March 8.<\/p>\n

It will feature junior and senior riders competing in a range of events, including steer wrestling, saddle bronc, rope and tie, and multiple bull riding competitions, including bareback rides.<\/p>\n

Alstonville Agriculture Society secretary Faye Wilson said there had been growing demand for a large-scale rodeo event.<\/p>\n

“After witnessing the popularity of a smaller scale bull ride at the annual show for many years, the group has decided to bring a rodeo spectacular to the main show ring,” she said.<\/p>\n

“This will allow for more spectators to get right in on the action, with the added thrill of barrel racing and bucking broncs, there will something for everyone.<\/p>\n

“Community support is the backbone in making these events happen and the response so far has been overwhelming.”<\/p>\n

Riders will compete for points that go towards the national finals.<\/p>\n

Many of the top competitors travel the country year-round, with professional riders in both the cowboy and cowgirl divisions.<\/p>\n

The event will also feature country and western market stalls and food vendors. Gates open at 4pm, with full bar facilities run by the show society.<\/p>\n

Tickets are available online at alstonvilleshow.com<\/a>, with discounts for early purchases, or at the gate on the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
