Today we proudly celebrate Colorado’s 150th birthday. 💙❤️💛

For 150 years, this incredible state has been defined by rugged landscapes, hardworking communities, and a pioneering spirit that continues to inspire generations.

As the Colorado Stars & Stripes, it is an honor to represent our state on horseback while carrying the American and Colorado flags with pride. Every performance is our way of celebrating the traditions, values, and people that make Colorado so special.

Here’s to the mountains that shape us, the communities that support us, and the rich western heritage we’re proud to carry into the future.

Happy 150th Birthday, Colorado! 🇺🇸🏔️

Happy Birthday to the man who keeps the flags flying straight and the riders in line…our very own Flag Master, Mark! 🇺🇸🐴

Behind every great team is someone willing to step in wherever needed, solve problems before anyone else notices them, and quietly make sure everything runs smoothly. For the Colorado Stars & Stripes, that’s Mark.

Whether he’s hauling equipment, setting up, troubleshooting, supporting the riders, or helping bring this vision to life, Mark is an invaluable part of our team and a big reason we’re able to do what we do.

Thank you for your dedication, your steady presence, your willingness to help with absolutely anything, and for being one of the hardest-working people behind the scenes.

We hope your birthday is filled with family, laughter, and maybe even a little flag-team love for a day! 🎂

Happy Birthday, Mark! 🎉🇺🇸

Today we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It’s a reminder that freedom comes at a cost, and because of that sacrifice, we get to live, dream, gather, and celebrate the life we love.

At Colorado Stars and Stripes, we honor the heroes who never made it home and the families who continue to carry their legacy forward with strength and pride.

May we never forget their courage, their service, and the sacrifices made for this country we love. ❤️🤍💙

From our rodeo family to yours — thank you, today and always.
