Congratulations……
Sandy Creasy, the newest winner of our online 50/50 raffle. She is the lucky recipient of $ 2000.00
------------------------------------------------
Canadian Senior Pro Rodeo Association is excited to announce our 50/50 running July 1-
July 31/2021. The lucky winner will receive a minimum cash prize of $2000 or 50% of ticket sales (whichever is greater). Help us sell out the raffle and the winner will mosey away with $5000 cash jingle in their jeans!
Founded in 1985, the CSPRA was created to provide opportunities to rodeo competitors aged 40 and up. Today the CSPRA is comprised of all levels of competitive skills from beginner to professional, and our membership ranging in ages 40 to 80+!! The common ground lies in the appreciation of western values and lifestyles, passion for rodeo, and desire to pursue this active western sport.
The CSPRA season is set to start in May with the potential for about 25 rodeos scattered across Alberta. We wrap up in October with an exciting three-day, four performance sudden-death Finals held in Claresholm, AB. When the dust settles, champions are crowned in four age divisions in events such as Barrel Racing; Breakaway, Tie Down, Ribbon, and Team Roping; Steer Wrestling; and even Rough Stock events.
Due to the uncertain times we have scaled back significantly in order to make the production of the rodeos more cost effective for rodeo committees willing to host a CSPRA weekend. Our finals will run lean as well, but still comes at a high price to the association. The proceeds of this raffle will help to recover costs to the association and enable our membership to continue to “Rodeo Forever”.
The Canadian Senior Pro Rodeo Association sincerely appreciates your support.
We are happy to announce we are having a minimum
$10 000.00
guaranteed added to the CSPRA finals.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the Winner is…….
CONGRATULATIONS TO BILL REEDER WHO HAS A GREAT START TO HIS RODEO YEAR. He will walk away with an extra $2000.00 in his jeans.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED OUR FIRST ONLINE RAFFLE.

CSPRA GOLD CARDS
Hey members, as you turn 75 years of age or are already 75+,
and have 10 years or more of membership with the CSPRA, you can
now apply for a paid-in-full "Lifetime Membership Gold Card"!
--------------------------------
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.

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.
