UPDATE:
What we know today
- We will not be able to have any rodeos for a minimum of three weeks.
- The Rodeo committees will have to make some decisions as to rescheduling or cancelling. All three committees are looking at rescheduling over cancelling.
- We are hoping that the 3-week lockdown will have a positive effect on the current situation and that we will be able to continue with the sport of Rodeo shortly.
- When we know any more information, we will pass it on to you.
Please go the Government of Alberta or Alberta Equestrian websites for more information
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE:
Exemption applications are already being submitted to AHS for our upcoming rodeo’s. Although we are confident that the approvals will come, CSPRA will refund any entry paid if the rodeo is cancelled.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Robbing the mail coach isn’t as common any more……neither is missing the first rodeo by not having your membership in.
Don’t worry you still have time to send them in before Cardston entries so don’t panic, just fill them out and send them off.

--------------------------------
Good Day... so results from the barrel racing poll showed that many of you don’t care how the barrels are run off, but a majority did like the idea of everyone running in one section. So as a Board we decided we would just leave it in the age groups as is. BUT... raking will be decided each rodeo day, based on conditions, AND... will be done after actual runs on ground NOT names in the program. Draw is always up at the office and medical and turnouts are there to see when you run. ALSO... we will always run 40s, 50s, 60s, 68+s, without confusion when anyone runs we just leave so committee and spectators can follow programs.
Thanks, just keeping everyone updated and “in the loop”. Remember to always check the CSPRA website at www.canadaseniorrodeo.com for official information on the Association. ie: rodeo details, rules, etc.

Wondering about Rodeo Payouts???
...A rodeo committee has four days to get their completed rodeo
package into the CSPRA office; we then verify all paperwork and
either do an etransfer or mail out a cheque with your winnings.
**If you wish to switch from cheques to etransfers (which is much quicker and more
reliable than Canada Post) please let me know your email address to send to.

PLEASE NOTE:
For people who are having their payouts done via e-transfer, or
anyone else just wanting to know payout amounts and/or where
your winnings came from, look under the "Draws+Results" button and
click on the "Money Bag" in the chart for each particular rodeo.
---------------------------------------
The CSPRA can no longer take past payout cheques or
other third party cheques to pay for rodeo fees. The banks
have no way of proving your signature on the back.
Should any rodeo committee wish to cash these cheques, it will be the sole responsibility of that committee.
Please check with the individual Rodeo Secretaries prior to their rodeo should you require this service.

Canadian Senior Pro Rodeo Association -- Rodeo Forever!
The Canadian rodeo season starts in April with rodeos scattered across Western Canada throughout the spring, summer and fall. The Canadian Finals are a sudden death finals held in October at the Claresholm Agriplex, Claresholm, Alberta.
Contestants compete in such events as Barrel Racing, Steer Wrestling, Tie Down Roping, Men's and Ladies Breakaway, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Riding, Bull Riding, Team Roping and Ribbon Roping. Included in the opportunity to enjoy Senior Pro Rodeo is the choice to head south of the border to rodeos hosted by the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association.
The CSPRA now offers the options of hosting a "full" CSPRA rodeo, a "timed event only" rodeo or a "roughstock only" rodeo. A timed event only rodeo will consist of tie down roping, breakaway roping, ladies barrel racing, ribbon roping, team roping and steer wrestling. All rodeos have to follow the CSPRA rule book to be sanctioned. Please contact the committee representative or your event director with any questions. Be advised that the NSPRA has moved to a “region” format since the 2014 season and included in the Canadian region will be ALL CSPRA rodeos as well as those rodeos occurring in Montana.
