Southern Indiana Jr Rodeo, Salem IN

UPDATED February 2025- Keep checking back here for updates before the season begins!

Welcome to Southern Indiana Junior Rodeo Association!

We are excited to begin the 2025 rodeo season! We have several new things coming this year!

To our new members: Welcome! Please do not hesitate to ask questions!

We want this to be a great season. Here are a few things to help you along the way:

1.Check-in takes place Friday nights between 7-8pm and again Saturday mornings from 7-8am; We need to know all scratches and additions BEFORE 8am Saturday morning of the rodeo. If you have signed up for a rodeo and are not going to be able to make it, you need to call the Rodeo Secretary BEFORE 8am Saturday morning of the rodeo so that we do not delay the rodeo looking for your child(ren).

2. Western attire is mandatory for competitors in the arena: long sleeve western shirt, boots and cowboy hat or helmet are required to be worn by anyone competing in the arena. Pre-K competitors are encouraged to follow this as well.

3. The run sheet you have received over email may not exactly match the one the Announcer and Judges will have. This is because we may have someone "scratch" out of an event which would cause the run order to bump up. We may also have some last minute entries to that event as well. Just be ready when your event is going on and listen for your name!

4. Your child(ren)'s minimum $100 sponsorship is due by the third rodeo, July 26 & 27, 2025. The minimum per family is $300 for 3 or more children. It is important to meet this deadline so that your child can continue to earn points towards year-end placings. You have the rest of the Season to turn in any additional sponsorship monies if you want to reach other levels of sponsorship awards!

5. If you feed Kalmbach Feeds, save those Proof of Purchase tags from your Tribute Equine Nutrition bags of feed and turn them in at the Announcer's Booth. For each proof of purchase we collect, Kalmbach will give 25 cents back to our Association.

Southern Indiana Junior Rodeo Arena

7596 West State Road 56

Salem, Indiana 47167

The arena is located 7 miles west of Salem on State Road 56.

Our thanks go out to Hanson Aggregates Midwest, LLC and Bar-O-Ranch, Inc., for making this property available to us.

Having our own arena gives us greater flexibility for scheduling and better facilitates those who camp before or after rodeos. Parking during wet weather is not a problem at this site. The arena has great footing and no mud!

This Rodeo Association has provided an exciting opportunity for everyone to help in the Association’s continuing growth and mission to introduce youth to the fun and excitement of rodeo. As we continue to improve the rodeo grounds, we will be in need of donations of material, labor, and money to make it the best site possible.

Exciting times are ahead for SIJRA!
