What is the NFR Experience?
(NFR (aka National Finals Rodeo) is the championship event for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and the Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA). This hot rodeo event is held annually. Typically in Las Vegas, the very best cowboys and cowgirls come out to showcase their skills in various events.
Throughout the year, cowboys and cowgirls compete in different rodeo events such as bull riding, steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing, and more. The top contestants in each event qualify for the National Finals Rodeo, where they compete for significant prize money. And of course, we can't forget the title of world champion in their respective skillset! If you are a fan of rodeo, then you already know that the NFR is a highly anticipated event that many of us count down to.
