Congratulations to those who qualified to go to wickenburg Arizona
Our hearts are so full of pride for ALL of our kids! ❤️🤠
A huge congratulations to those who have earned their spot at the JRA World Finals in Wickenburg, Arizona! 🏆🐂
It takes countless hours of practice, early mornings, late nights, hard work, determination, and a whole lot of grit to make it this far. We’ve watched you chase your dreams, face some tough rides, get back up, and continue to grow both in and out of the arena.
To every kid who climbs in the chute, nods their head, takes that deep breath, and gives it everything they’ve got — we are so proud of you! The scores, buckles, and wins are exciting, but the courage, perseverance, sportsmanship, and memories made along the way mean so much more.
To our World Finals qualifiers — Wickenburg is calling! 🌵🏆🐂 Ride hard, hang on, give it everything you’ve got, and enjoy every second of the ride!
We’ll be cheering for ALL of you every step of the way! ❤️🤠

Elmore County Junior Rodeo (ECJR) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the youth of Elmore County and the surrounding areas a platform to compete in junior rodeo events. We feature a six-rodeo series for kids ages 3-18 held during the summer months at the Elmore County Fairgrounds in Glenns Ferry, Idaho. Our mission is to foster a love of rodeo and offer the next generation of cowboys and cowgirls a place to learn, grow, and compete in events, including those found in the Idaho junior high rodeo circuit. As a completely volunteer-operated non-profit, ECJR relies on the generosity of donations and sponsors from the community.
