WPRA Rodeo History
The Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) was founded in 1948, stemming from the need for women to have a formal organization that recognized their contributions to the sport of rodeo. Initially, it began as the 'Girls Rodeo Association' (GRA) with the aim of providing women with opportunities to compete in rodeo events. The GRA gained popularity and eventually changed its name to the WPRA in 1981 to reflect its broader mission and to promote female athletes in rodeo. The WPRA has played a pivotal role in elevating the status of women's rodeo events, establishing competitive standards, and advocating for the inclusion of female competitors in professional rodeo circuits across the United States. Over the decades, the WPRA has fostered an environment where female athletes can showcase their skills in various events such as barrel racing, breakaway roping, and team roping, bringing attention to their talent and dedication within a sport that has traditionally been male-dominated. The organization not only supports competitors through competitions and events but also focuses on providing scholarships and educational opportunities for young women interested in pursuing rodeo as a sport and a career.
