Special Kids’ Rodeo

The 2025 Special Kids’ Rodeo will be held on Sunday, June 22.

The Special Kids’ Rodeo (SKR) is one of the most popular events at the Reno Rodeo. Open to children and young adults under the age of 18 with physical and mental exceptionalities, this annual event is a fun way for children to experience the cowboy way of life first hand. Participants enjoy riding a “mechanical” bull, roping steer dummies, riding a horse, and more!

The 2025 Special Kids’ Rodeo will take place on Sunday, June 22. At the time of application, participants may choose either the 1:00, 1:45 or 2:30 performance time. Space is limited to 40 participants during each session. The SKR is held in the Indoor Pavilion Arena at the Reno Livestock Events Center. During the SKR performance, all of the children are assisted (as needed) into the rodeo arena by volunteers of the Reno Rodeo Association. While the SKR is put on by the Reno Rodeo Association and its many volunteers, it requires the generosity of the community to make it really successful. If you’d like to cheer on the SKR participants, all SKR performances are open to the public. https://renorodeo.com/event/special-kids-rodeo/
