Feather River College Rodeo

About the Rodeo Program . . .

Feather River College is gearing up for their tenth year of competition in the West Coast Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA). Students will be able to participate and compete in Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Riding, Bull Riding, Tie Down Roping, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Barrel Racing, Breakaway Roping, and Goat Tying.

Feather River College offers rodeo courses as well as a two year AS degree in Equine Studies with a Rodeo Skills Concentration. Our program is run by “Cowboys for Cowboys”, and we hope to attract students that are not only athletically inclined, but also academically motivated, who will take the challenge to develop this new rodeo program into one the most dynamic regional and national teams.

Goals for FRC Rodeo Program:

To develop leadership, moral and ethical principles, and a work ethic that will enhance the students potential.
To establish a rodeo program that academically develops students for their futures with a 4-year university or other career endeavors, and that will positively influence the college and community.
To field a competitive team that will allow students the opportunity to compete in Regional and National team and individual championships.
