Congratulations to the Killdeer Mountain Round-Up, Range Days Rodeo, and Black Hills Roundup for winning Justin Best Footing Awards in the Badlands Circuit! 🐴🚜

The Women’s Professional Rodeo Association is pleased to announce and congratulate the following rodeo committees who have gone above and beyond this past year to ensure safe ground for the animal athletes of rodeo, specifically the barrel racing horses. Every year since the early 1990s the WPRA and Justin Brands have honored rodeo committees in each of the 12 circuits with the Justin Best Footing Awards.

The Justin Best Footing Awards® program was created when Tom Feller, director of event marketing for Justin Brands, approached the WPRA about partnering on a program that would focus on the health and well-being of the animal athlete. Not only does the program keep animal athletes performing at the top level, but it also recognizes the hard work and time rodeo committees put into making their ground as safe as possible for the barrel horse and all rodeo livestock.

🏆 Badlands Circuit Finals | Committee Summit

The Black Hills Roundup was proud to be represented at the Badlands Circuit Finals Committee Summit this weekend! 🙌

Rodeo Committee Member, Scott Reeder, joined the discussion and shared valuable insights on what keeps community rodeos strong — from volunteer involvement to sponsorship sustainability and preserving the traditions that make local rodeos so special.

We’re grateful to be part of a network of rodeo committees across the Dakotas working together to grow the sport, support contestants, and keep the cowboy spirit alive for generations to come. 🤠
