The Barstow Rodeo
Stampede was founded in 1988 by a group of local residents to
ensure the integrity of our western heritage. Starting in the
1940's, rodeo in Barstow was a recreational event until the rodeo
grounds were destroyed by fire in the 1950's. Barstow rodeo was
reborn in September 1988 as the Barstow Rodeo Stampede.
Honeycutt
Family Rodeo
Honeycutt Family Rodeo is truly a family affair! Roy and Virginia
Honeycutt of Alamosa Colo. started it all in 1976, but now mom
and dad are joined by daughter Janet, sons Jerry and Scott, daughter-in-laws
Verla and Dawn, grandsons Til,Orrin and Dawson. Jerry was married
in September 2002 and another Honeycutt was added to their rodeo
business.
Roy is very proud of his rodeo stock and he makes sure that each
rodeo he supplies receives the 'Best of the Best' in calves, steers,
broncs and bulls.
Ray puts on rodeos in many cities in the Western United States
and conducts two weekly rodeos in Durango Colorado.
Events
The
Barstow Rodeo Stampede features all seven professional events.
The cowgirls ride in the barrel race while the cowboys appear

and bull riding.
In
addition to the professional cowboys, the Barstow Rodeo Stampede
features events for locals, kids and adults, bull riding for the
local military and for all the little cowhands--muttin' bustin'!
