The American Rodeo

The American Rodeo, or simply The American, is an annual rodeo held since 2014 in Arlington, Texas. It accepts competitors from across the world who partake in qualifier events.

The event features the eight standard events in professional rodeo. Both amateur competitors and professionals may qualify in the competition. The competition begins with preliminary rounds in January. The top competitors then proceed to the semifinals and eventually the "Contender Round" finals. The champions of each event at The American win a trophy belt buckle, trophy saddle, and a minimum of $100,000. In 2022, the total purse surpassed $3 million.
