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.
