Kissimmee Sports Arena Rodeo

Información

Mention rodeo’s and you think of cowboys, bull riding and bucking bronc’s! Today’s rodeo is a modern link to the cowboys of the past and our western heritage. Riders and ropers come from all over the south-eastern United States. The Kissimmee Sports Arena and Rodeo offers you a look at a real competition rodeo. We are not just another Central Florida show. Everything here is real and unrehearsed. Practiced, yes, but rehearsed, no. Our riders and ropers are from all over the south eastern United States who love the sport of rodeo.

Florida may not be what you think of when you think of cowboys and the rodeo. Florida cowboys were here long before there were any theme parks. Florida's cowboys of the day were more accurately called 'Cow-hunters'. Because of the unique terrain and underbrush, these cow-hunters had to be skilled in many areas of roping and handling cattle that roamed almost wild in the thick palmettos of our area. The Cow-hunters would actually need to go in and flush out the cattle in order to take them to the market. Not a very easy task considering that they were in a swampy area with alligators and snakes!

The rodeo started as a competition between ranch hands whose job it was to break in the new horses and cattle. At Kissimmee Sports Arena we celebrate the heritage of the skills it took to survive in the early days of our nation. Not only will you have a chance to enjoy our exciting events, but you may learn a thing or two about life in the early days of Florida. We spend a great deal of time making sure our facility is the perfect place to enjoy the rodeo! There is always a lot of action at our rodeo. From the antics of the rodeo clowns, to the thrill of the riders, you will enjoy yourself!
