Windy Ryon Memorial Roping

Windy Ryon Memorial Roping Benefiting community and educational programs for young men and women, since 1974.

Windy Ryon was a cowboy and businessman, founder of Ryon's Saddle Shop and Western Store in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. There was always a pot of coffee on at Ryon's, and it became a gathering place for cowboys and ranch and rodeo hands. This internationally famous store was the background for many a wild west tale. Windy was usually in the store spinning yarns and trading stories with the

best of them. To honor Windy's memory, his friends held the first Windy Ryon Memorial Roping in 1973. Since that time, the roping has become a showcase to the world's top professional rodeo competitors like Dean Oliver, Roy Cooper, Joe Beaver, and even Walt Garrison. The Windy Ryon Arena, just north of the Fort Worth Stockyards, in Saginaw, has been the home of incredible rodeo action. The Windy Ryon Memorial Roping Association has proudly committed its efforts and profits to charities, and has contributed nearly a half-million dollars to various organizations that benefit young men and women including:

Tarrant County Junior Livestock Show
Boswell-Saginaw-Chisholm Trail FFA
North Texas High School Rodeo Association
Saginaw 4-H
Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund
West Texas Boys Ranch
Tarrant County Constables-Precinct 4 Continuing Education
