THE Cowboy Capital of the World PRCA Rodeo

Ari Anna with her ALL AROUND CHAMPION saddle and CCPRA Board Member Martha Wright. Cowboy Capital of the World PRCA Rodeo, Stephenville Texas, September 2021

You spin it, you win it!

What should it matter? If the criteria is who wins the most money in 2 or more events and it so happens to be a girl, then she wins, right? Besides the men have 6 events to win money in and the girls only have 2, so the boys would have even more opportunities than girls. So it’s really saying something g if a girl can win more $ than the boys.

Honestly most money won isn’t fair either. Breakaway is a huge event and get a lot of entries. This makes the money won very high. That being said it should be a points system. I say this because it has happened here. At least twice last year at two different rodeos the all around went to the highest money earner contestant and it should have gone to someone who placed top 5 in two events instead of someone who won breakaway and had a clean barrel run.

My daughter won the barrel race (running a 16.8 on a standard) and placed well in the breakaway last year at Dickinson ND and won around $2000 more than the guy that won the all around at that rodeo, kinda crazy to me but they said that it’s the PRCA all around cowboy so Wpra cowgirls can’t win it.

Either have two awards or let everyone play for the same one.

The way the rules are written. She deserved the win. I personally think a true all around champ needs to compete on both sides of the arena.

Don't get them started on the American letting men run, they will lose it. At least this year they won't have to endure watching a man run. LOL

Some of the best cowboys are cowgirls

The PERSON who is entered in 2 or more events and won THE MOST money if its equal pay! If events arent equal pay, one could put points on placing.

All around should be Roughstock and timed event contestant that pulls a check in both, honestly.

Hot take, the all around should require both timed & rough stock events. You aren’t a true all rounder if you can’t ride something that bucks🤷🏻‍♀️

All around champion should be the one who earns most money, regardless of male or female!!

Junior rodeos, junior high & high school rodeos, & college rodeos all have an all around cowboy & an all around cowgirl. That way men & women are equally recognized every year.

Most money won. The boys have more event options so they have more chances technically. So if a girl wins more, she earned it.

Whoever is the best! They earned it!

AA should be most money earned. Yes it is harder for women but mega kudos to Ari on her win!!!

Sounds like the boys are mad that they got outdone 🤷🏼‍♀️ the AA Champion goes to the one who earns it, man or woman aside. It’s 2026, stop being threatened by successful women.

Should go to the person who won the most money in however many events, just like this. Man or woman, it needs to be fair, period.

Men have more chances to win the all around so if a women beats them with two events and men have the option to enter 6, I’d say she won it fair and square 🤠

I as so thankful that you guys had the opportunity for the All Around to be won by the contestant that won the most money! I did get quite a lot of not so nice comments saying I didn’t deserve it, all it did was make me laugh! lol  I won’t say it happens all the time but I have seen it happen multiple times where a woman contest wins more money than what the men’s contestant (who was crowded the all-around champ) won. I think it should just be all across the board won wins the most amount of money in more than 1 event. There are some amazing women that both rope and run barrels that I very much look up to!! Im so thankful for my opportunity that day! My saddle is hung up on display 🙌🏼 And for anyone saying it should be only if you compete in the roughstock and a timed event, don’t tempt me. I might know a thing or two about bull riding 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣

It should be who ever wins the most in two of their respective events, gender doesnt matter! They crown Nellie Miller one year in Red Bluff PRCA for the all-around!

That happened in the northeast about 30 years ago. Committee advertised Allaround Champion so left door open for the girls who did breakaway. A girl won. Most of the guys were accepting of it. Only couple committeemen were pouting. Since then it was anybody’s to win.

do the men get to enter the barrel race and breakaway. do the women get to enter tbe tie down and steer wrestling?

I think it’s perfectly fine for a woman to be eligible. Whoever wins the most & are entered in 2 or more events! Stephenville can be different because it’s very unique!!! Cowboy/Cowgirl Capital

This great! CD Cattle Company is PROUD to sponsor the Saddle Bronc Riding buckle every year 🤠
