Women’s Professional Rodeo Association celebrates 75 years
Nov. 18
With the creation of the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association in 1948, it’s now the longest-standing female sports organization in the country. For centuries, women have been working and riding alongside their male counterparts. Though rarely hired as hands, cowgirls were born into ranching families and expected to have the skillset to start colts, rope livestock, and assist in brandings.
