September 7 2019 – Finals Rodeo and Awards Banquet

In 2014, we completed a very successful series of Open Junior Rodeos for children ages 1 to 20. Our Junior Rodeos brought young competitors not only from our local area but also from several surrounding communities. Beautiful western buckles were awarded to the “All-Around” Cowboy and Cowgirl in each of our 4 age groups at our rodeo finals in October.

PRCA Rodeo

August 16th and 17th, 2019

Cowboys from across the country will come to compete for points toward the PRCA finals and large cash purses in grueling events like bronc riding, steer wrestling and bull riding. Lightening fast Cowgirls will be taking razor sharp turns around the barrels and down to the finish line. The adrenaline will be pumping as bull-fighters and barrel men will serve as bodyguards for bull riders who’ve been thrown from bulls after their eight-second rides. World class stock will be bucking hard and kicking high to assure plenty of rodeo excitement.

Bad Bulls

JULY 4TH, 2019

“Eight seconds of pure adrenaline atop 2,000 pounds of muscle and fury” best describes the wild rides that await the bull riders at the Tehachapi Mountain Rodeo Associations’ Bad Bulls Riding Tour. Bad Bulls hosts the toughest Cowboys from across the U.S. and the baddest bulls at the Tehachapi Event Center and Rodeo Grounds on Dennison Road and Hwy 58.

About TMRA

We provide Quality family style entertainment.

Our Goal

The goal of the Association is to provide quality family style entertainment at affordable prices. All those involved with the TMRA are motivated by a deep love for the sport of professional rodeo, our western heritage, and the desire to educate our youth on the "Western Way of Life."

Our History

In its humble beginning, the Tehachapi Rodeo began as a youth rodeo and evolved into an adult amateur rodeo. In 1985, the rodeo joined the ranks of what now includes over 900 rodeos in 48 states and 4 Canadian Provinces as a pro rodeo sanctioned by the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) and is celebrating it's 19th year as a Ram Truck sponsored Rodeo. The Tehachapi Mountain Festival PRCA Rodeo was part of the Tehachapi Mountain Festival Committee and numerous members of the community worked diligently to help it evolve into one of the finest rodeos on the California Pro Rodeo Circuit. The rodeo and the committee continued to grow, and in 1997 the Tehachapi Mountain Rodeo Association was formed. It included a dozen members who came together and spent approximately 6 months of the year in preparation for this event. Today the Association boasts a much larger membership as well as a large group of tireless volunteers who work year round in preparation for some of our annual events: The Kickoff Dinner & Dance; the Bad Bulls Tour on July 4th; and, the Tehachapi Mountain PRCA Rodeo in August. The success of the rodeo is due to the dedication of these members and countless volunteers over the past five decades who gave of their time, talents, and resources to preserve our western heritage.
