π DP and Arapahoe County — Disability Awareness Day at Arapahoe County Fair 2025
This wonderful event pairs volunteers with children and their partners (adults with disabilities welcome too – see note below) participants in an adaptive rodeo event. Together the kids, cowboys, and cowgirls will work through a series of modified rodeo events.
There will be:
βbull ridingβ and βbareback bronc ridingβ on hand-rocked animals
βsteer ropingβ with dummy steers
βsteer wrestlingβ and βbarrel racingβ on giant stick horses
Each child participant will receive their own cowboy hat and t-shirt. Children and their ProRodeo partners will have their pictures taken and exchange autographs while the announcer provides live-action commentary from the arena floor. As the children and their ProRodeo partners finish up, each pair will be introduced, and each participant will receive their own trophy.
* Adults/older children with intellectual and developmental disabilities are welcome to participate, but please note that the Exceptional Rodeo is traditionally focused more on elementary-aged youth, because of the size and weight requirements of our equipment. We will do our best to include individuals of all ages and sizes.
