NILE Horse Events capture the authentic lifestyle of our region’s top riders and producers in a variety of western equine disciplines. From multiple barrel races to the AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge, Versatility Ranch Horse Competition, NILE Ranch Rodeo, and NILE Gold Buckle Select Horse Sale, there’s plenty to keep today’s horsemen and women busy.

The NILE Stock Show provides a great opportunity for breeders, exhibitors, and consignors to show off their very best animals — whether it be in the show or sale ring. With 14 open and junior breed shows, four junior fed market shows, a pen show and multiple breed sales, we have something for livestock enthusiasts. 

Ranch Rodeo fans won’t be disappointed with two action-packed nights of real working cowboys going head-to-head in events that simulate those on an actual working ranch. Catch the preliminary qualifying round Friday, October 17 at 8 AM and the Ranch Rodeo Finals Saturday, October 18 at 6:30 PM!

The NILE’s mission is to preserve and embrace the western way of life. This can’t be done unless today’s youth have an appreciation and understanding of the western way of life. The NILE is proud to offer a multitude of youth events, such as the 4th Grade Agricultural Education program, the NILE Merit Heifer program, the NILE Colt Classic, and the Radiant Rodeo.
