Longhorn World Championship Rodeo

Return to previous Page ›

Join the throng at Huntsville's Von Braun Civic Center Arena for the annual Longhorn World Championship Rodeo. Don't miss the thrills and spills of cowboys and girls hanging on to the back of Longhorn bulls for the statutory eight seconds.

Today's Longhorn World Championship Rodeo traces its roots to a quiet summer in 1964 when a young Jack Lynn wanted to try his hand at riding bucking horses on his parents' small farm. The small arena erected on the Lynn spread became a focal point for neighbours with horses they could not break. Crowds gathered on the weekends to watch the action, and Mooney (Lynn's dad), who had cowboyed on ranches in the Northwest, seized the opportunity to create the Loretta Lynn Rodeo Company , which eventually became today's Longhorn World Championship Rodeo.
