About Us
The Idaho Cowboy’s Association has been in existence since the early 1950’s. The objective of the ICA is to promote the sport of rodeo. Through the instrument of this association, rodeos attract bigger crowds and cowboys compete for larger purses. All ICA approved rodeos meet standards designed to enhance the quality of the rodeo, the talent of all competing cowboys and cowgirls, and the safety of rodeo stock.
The ICA approves rodeos in Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Nevada. Most rodeos average three performances with 1500 spectators per performance. Many of the July and August rodeos are held in conjunction with county fairs, therefore attracting many agriculture and livestock related consumers.
The ICA’s members come from all walks of life. Some are professional cowboys choosing to follow a rodeo circuit that stays close to home. Many are businessmen and women, ranchers, farmers and horse trainers. The ICA has a well established reputation of producing top cowboys, and has been a proving ground for many professional cowboys.
The ICA has eight standard events: bareback riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, team roping, barrel racing and breakaway roping. In November of each year the ICA sponsors a year-end awards banquet to honor the year-end Champions, All-Around Champion, rodeo committees and sponsors.
The flavor of an ICA rodeo is a spirit many seek to experience from days gone by. Many rodeos have been an annual tradition where generations of cowboys have competed, and many rodeos represent the single, largest and most exciting event that comes to town.
The Idaho Cowboy’s Association is dedicated to promoting rodeo; an important link to our Western Heritage and some today’s best most action packed entertainment.
