Saddle up for rodeo

Whittlesea PBR Rodeo is expecting its best show yet at the Whittlesea Showgrounds on February 22, as part of the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Australia Tour.

Celebrating its 52nd year, the rodeo is known for its thrilling bull-riding action, but this year’s event promises even more excitement.

In addition to the intense bull rides, it will feature an exclusive invitational Saddle Bronc competition, showcasing bucking horses from all across the country.

All the action will be showcased on the big screen, giving the people of Whittlesea the best experience of PBR at the showgrounds, where residents can also make use of food trucks, amusements, ice-cream vans, wood-fired pizza and much more.

FMX freestyle motocross riders will open the show at 5pm.

Tarraroo Rodeo Company director Russell Green said the show was expected to be a sell out.

“Whittlesea is one of the most exciting and entertaining rodeos … in Australia today,“ he said.

Gates open at 2pm, for a 5pm start.
