22.01.2022 PRO TOUR ALL AROUND CHAMPION COWBOY & PRO TOUR ROPE AND TIE CHAMPION | Terry Evison has been enjoying life at home of late, welcoming baby Chad in August with p...artner, and fellow Champion Leslie Moore. "The break has allowed me to invest more time into the property, catch up on the backlog of jobs that don't get done while we're normally away competing," said Terry. "And now we're also busy with two children!" Like many fellow competitors, Terry is missing the opportunity to catch-up with friends - as well as that adrenaline rush of competition. And while he recalls the rodeos early in the season, the fun of the South Australian circuit, and the energy of the new committees who joined the APRA affiliate line-up in 2020, Terry has his eyes set on the future. "It's to break the Australian Team Roping record." Congratulations Terry, and good luck in achieving that goal - we'll be watching! #australianprorodoeoassociation Image BR Action Photography See more

19.01.2022 RODEO MOMENTS | the sun has set on another work-week. And that means we're one week closer to rodeos returning! Who else is ready to spend a Friday night under lights like these at Merrijig Rodeo? Image Shaye Hughes Photography Ariat Australia Just Country Australia

19.01.2022 2020 PRO TOUR TEAM ROPING HEADING CHAMPION | Shane Kenny, is a humble champ, quick to say he’s ‘lucky because the guys he ropes with do really well’ - his comp...etition partner, Clay Bush, took out the 2020 Pro Tour Team Roping Heeling Champion title. Shane is a veteran of the Pro Tour Circuit and rodeo-road, so he’s certainly missing the people and the catch-ups, but he’s been quietly enjoying a little down-time too. Haven’t swung a rope or ridden a horse for a few months, so the break has been okay, said Shane. I’ve probably never had this much time off so plenty of jobs are getting done. Shane is a champion of the sport in more ways than one, with his family continuing to provide opportunities for people to maintain their skills in the sport by hosting varying events on their Emerald property during the break. Our recent roping day was probably the biggest event we’ve had, was great to host something that people were excited to get to and do something, said Shane. Congratulations on your Pro Tour Champion Title Shane and thanks for the continued contribution to the sport. #australianprorodeoassociation Image BR Action Photography See more

18.01.2022 McCormack Park is Closed until further notice. Covid-19 meant our March booking was cancelled, and the sand dropped on the arena for that event has not been abl...e to be spread, firstly because of restrictions and now because of wet weather. We apologize for any inconvenience it has caused our members. We hope to get it back up and running when the weather permits. See more

16.01.2022 Arrr I guess that move didn’t go to plan... Life’s not always roses, we fall.. but dam do we rise strong! -

15.01.2022 2020 PRO TOUR BULL RIDING CHAMPION | Bailey Woodard came away with the title just ahead of a few rivals, he says ‘were very hot on his heels’. It certainly wou...ld have made for an interesting year, said Bailey. With the sport of rodeo taking a break, Bailey is keeping himself busy with work and keeping fit in readiness for the return of competition. Bailey started out in rodeo is his younger years, and it’s been his life ever since, so right now he’s missing getting on the good bulls. Congratulations on your Pro Tour Champion title Bailey, we know you’ll be ready when the sport returns. #australianprorodeoassociation Image BR Action Photography See more

09.01.2022 2020 PRO TOUR TEAM ROPING HEELING CHAMPION | Clay Bush is taking this title for the third time. And the young cowboy says ‘it’s still a nice feeling’. Thankful ...for his competition partner, Shane Kenny, and the continued support from his family, Clay acknowledges it takes plenty of support from good people to be able to compete and win. Busy in his farrier business, Clay has been making the most of the sport’s break, also setting-up a family property at Yass and working with some young horses. I haven’t really slowed down at all I’ve been breaking in some new horses and getting plenty done that’s for sure, he said. Whilst the break is an opportunity to freshen up for Clay, he like every cowboy, is missing his rodeo family and can’t wait to catch-up with the guys. Congratulations on your Pro Tour Champion Title Clay, thanks for your contribution to the sport and we look forward to seeing you back in action when the sport returns. #australianprorodeoassociation See more

03.01.2022 2020 PRO TOUR ALL AROUND CHAMPION COWGIRL | Leslie Moore, is back in the top spot this year, with her last Pro Tour title back in 2012/2013 taking the Pro Tour ...Rookie and Barrel Racing Champion titles. In a stroke of luck for Leslie, the sport’s pause due to COVID-19 came at a perfect time as she was around 5 months pregnant, so she has been able to enjoy the latter stages of pregnancy and safely bring a beautiful baby boy, Chad, into the world he’s now a month old! I’m enjoying being grounded at the moment, it’s a great chance to enjoy the newborn phase, said Leslie. We normally live very busy lives with work and rodeo, now I’m just busy with Tejay and Chad! Despite the blessings and the opportunity to be at home with family, Leslie, like most professional competitors, is missing her rodeo family and competing on her horses. With that driving her, Leslie will soon be back in the saddle, getting herself and the horses fit again, with a plan to start where she left off ‘to do the best to get the All Around and Barrel Racing titles at the APRA National Finals in 2021. Congratulations on all your good news Leslie, we can’t wait to see you and the family back on rodeo-road! #australianprorodeoassociation Image The wife creative See more
