Introducing our very own Blackjack. One of Waikato Rodeo’s best bucking horses, and owned by our Vice President Rodney Limmer. He was Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year for 2024–2025 and nominated again for 2025–2026.
Our animals are just as much the heroes of this sport as the riders and Blackjack proves it every time he leaves the chute. Ridden here by Shaun Tahau.

Well Richard Harden & his crew have been very busy at the grounds making sure our stock has shade on the 21st. We can't thank Richard enough what a fabulous job they have done. Still a bit of shade cloth to go up but just looks amazing. If you need any building done give Richard a call.
