OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) is hosting a Ranch Horse Competition held in conjunction with the 37th Annual OCA Ranch Rodeo on Saturday, August 21 at the Lazy E Arena near Guthrie. The ranch horse competition will begin at 8 a.m.
The entry deadline is August 10. On-site entry is not available. Access the entry form and learn more at okcattlemen.org/ranch-horse-
“We look forward to another great Ranch Horse Competition this year,” said Robert Forst, event coordinator. “The event has grown in popularity in recent years. A large, air-conditioned area, a ribeye steak sandwich lunch and the fact that it is held in conjunction with the OCA Ranch Rodeo makes the competition attractive.”
Cash prizes are awarded for the top participants in each category. A portion of each entry fee will go to support the Children’s Hospital Foundation, the benefitting charity of the OCA Ranch Rodeo since 1997. In that time, the event has raised more than $553,000.
Spectators are welcome to watch the Ranch Horse Competition for free. Families can make a day of it and stay for the OCA Ranch Rodeo which consists of twelve ranch teams of ‘real ranch’ cowboys that compete in five different events mirroring many of the activities of daily ranch life. Arena doors open at 5 p.m. for shopping in the trade show and the performance begins at 7 p.m.
“When you purchase a ticket to the OCA Ranch Rodeo, you are supporting Oklahoma children and their families,” said Weston Givens, Chairman of the OCA Ranch Rodeo Committee. “CHF funds children’s medical research and treatment for children right here in Oklahoma. The funds raised for CHF in Oklahoma, stay in Oklahoma.”
