Be a part of the 2026 Cave Creek Rodeo Days!

Grand Entry riders and Flag runners in the rodeo performances must have these qualifications:

• You must be at least 18 to carry a flag.
• You must attend at least one Tryout with the horse you will be riding in the Grand Entry. Tryouts will be held Saturday, January 31st at 1:30 pm, Sunday, February 15th at 12:00 pm, and Wednesday, March 11th at 5:00 pm. All tryouts will be held at the Cave Creek Memorial Arena.
• Safety is a priority! Only safe riders and safe horses will be permitted to ride. Your horse must already be trained to carry a flag in a loud, excited, crowded environment. Start getting your horse ready now!
• You must bring your own flag boot.
• No riding in halters, no riding double, no running and no studs allowed.
• All CCRD Volunteer Code of Conduct and Ethics Policies apply and must be followed any time you’re on the rodeo grounds.
