The Sandhills journey began in 1933 as a humble stock show. By 1940, it blossomed into a renowned horse exhibition, and in 1955, it opened its doors to professional rodeo competitors, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of the Texas winter rodeo circuit. Today, the event offers a thrilling blend of rodeo action, captivating queens contests (including the crowned Miss Rodeo Texas, Brylee Johnson!), and family-friendly activities.
While the heart of the event pulsates with the electrifying rodeo performances, the Sandhills Stock Show remains a haven for agricultural heritage. Witness the dedication of young exhibitors showcasing their Hereford steers and fine wool lambs in the state’s only dedicated shows of their kind. This commitment to youth extends beyond the competitive ring, with over $15,000 in scholarships awarded to local students.
