The idea of a Rodeo in Poway was started by two Poway Valley Riders Association members, John Walker and Jack Miller. It took them several years to prepare and make all of the necessary arrangements to sponsor a sanctioned Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Rodeo in Poway. They and their wives traveled to Oklahoma City, to the National Finals Rodeo, spending their own money, to make the contacts with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, stock contractors, specialty acts, and rodeo announcers. Thru their efforts PVRA, The Lions Club, and the Poway Chamber of Commerce formed the Poway Rodeo Committee and produced the first Poway Rodeo in 1973.

Now 52 years later, the Poway Rodeo continues to feature the traditions of the Old West and Cowboy heritage while giving back to the community by financially supporting numerous charities in Poway and throughout San Diego County. The event is a natural fit with Poway, whose “City in the Country” motto describes the City’s rural and horse-friendly atmosphere despite the city’s proximity to San Diego. The Poway Rodeo is known throughout the national rodeo community as one of the best small-town rodeos, which regularly attracts some of the leading and most well-known cowboys and cowgirls.
