 The Effie Simpson "All Around Buckle" will be presented to the cowgirl that gets the most points from High River's Saturday and Sunday's rodeos. Effie will present the buckle to the winner at the Strathmore rodeo the following Saturday. Good Luck to all!  The Silver Slate arena will open at 8:00am Saturday for open riding until the cattle need to be run. If you wish to ride Friday evening there will be a $15.00 charge, per horse, payable to Silver Slate. The indoor arena closes at 8:30pm Friday night but there is a beautiful outdoor arena that you can ride in whenever you like. ***PLEASE REMEMBER... THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SELF-PENING OR TRAILER TYING AT THE SILVER SLATE FACILITY, YOU MUST BOOK A STALL IF YOU WANT TO STAY OVER.  Last chance to book in for the Saturday night hot roast beef dinner at High River/Silver Slate Rodeo.
We need to get the numbers to the caterer! Please contact the CSPRA Office. NOTE FROM COMMITTEE CHAIR, MARILYN CALLAWAY: "The Silver Slate Arena is a big, spacious, awesome facility just south of Parkland, AB, with wonderful owners. They are very diligent in making their facility safe and will be providing a contestant area complete with their own washrooms and concession as well as a spectator area with their own washrooms and concession, which all helps with self-distancing. Our committee will be following the current Alberta Health Services Covid19 Rodeo Guidelines and ask that all CSPRA members and/or anyone coming to the facility to comply as well."

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.
