The NRCHA Kimes Ranch Derby will return to Scottsdale for its fifth year from May 28 to June 7 at WestWorld.
The 11-day competition is free to the public and is part rodeo, part performance art, according to a press release.
A vendor village will feature bespoke western goods, and title sponsor Kimes Ranch will have their premium western apparel on display. Concessions will be available through WestWorld alongside a rotation of local food trucks.
Horse and rider pairs will compete in three main events, including herd work (think cutting cattle), rein work (the equestrian equivalent of figure skating), and fence work (fast-paced runs chasing and turning a cow). The derby features nine divisions to suit all levels, from million-dollar riders in the open, entry-level competitors in the nonpro limited and boxing, and every level of competitor in between.
A NRCHA Derby highlight event, the holy cow performance horses CD survivor open bridle spectacular, will feature many of the industry’s seasoned and successful older horses in the bridle vying for $25,000 in added money. Also, there will be a full slate of horse show classes which will feature added money that totals over $52,750. This includes the open and nonpro two rein spectaculars, nonpro bridle spectacular, nonpro boxing spectacular and two youth spectaculars.
