The Indiana Junior Rodeo Association was organized in 1989 to better educate and promote the sport of rodeo.  The founding members saw a need to provide a training ground for younger children in the sport of rodeo. The organization was incorporated on September 7, 1990.

Our organization helps to build skills that our children can use in High School Rodeo and beyond. Our association promotes the building of character and sportsmanship in our young cowboys and cowgirls. We stress responsibility, cooperation and good conduct in our participants. We see this as a way to help our children to develop into outgoing and productive individuals in their communities.

Inside many children is the desire to become a part of the West by being a cowboy or cowgirl. We strive to encourage children to perform to his or her highest potential and to realize their dreams.

Trailer Fire: 

Bob and Sarah Fagg's trailer was lost in a fire this morning.  It looks to be a total loss.  They are very thankful that they are well insured and feel that they will be able to replace their loss.  They want to encourage everyone to review their insurance policies to be sure that if something like this happens, the coverage is adequate to cover the trailer and the contents.  They lost clothing, tack and many items that cannot be replaced, such as IJRA awards.  They would appreciate everyone's prayers as they deal with this loss.  They are very thankful that their family is all OK.
