To Our 7 Branch Rodeo Family,
When we lost Ron on December 5, 2025, we didn’t just lose the founder of 7 Branch Farm—we lost a father, grandfather, mentor, and best friend who was the true heart and soul of everything this place stands for. Ron poured his entire life into 7 Branch Farm, and there wasn’t a rodeo, a gate, a fence, or a handshake that didn’t carry a piece of who he was.
We’re coming to you today with heavy hearts to share some difficult news. Since his passing, our family has had to navigate a lot of change and make some very tough decisions. Because of that, we have made the hard call that we will not be hosting the rodeo this year.
We know how much you all look forward to this tradition, and trust us, this was an incredibly painful decision for us to make, too. We are going to deeply miss the packed stands, the wild energy, and getting to see all of your familiar faces coming together at the farm.
But as we look back on everything we've built, we are overwhelmed with gratitude.
Thank you to every cowboy and cowgirl who ever rode in our arena. Thank you to the volunteers who selflessly gave their time, the sponsors who believed in us, the vendors who joined us, and every single employee who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. And to our fans—thank you for packing the stands year after year. You helped turn Ron’s dream into something far greater than he ever could have imagined.
Thank you for supporting us through the years, and thank you for your understanding as we navigate this chapter. Thank you for loving 7 Branch Farm. And thank you, most of all, for loving Ron.
With all our love and gratitude,
7 Branch Family
