Bosque Farms Rodeo Association has the premier Rodeo facilities in Valencia County, New Mexico |
|
|
The Rodeo arena is a
professional-grade facility. The main arena is 150ft. by 300ft. with all the
supporting facilities needed to put on large equestrian events. The
Crow's Nest provides a great vantage point for the announcer and event
manager to view and control activities, and includes counter space for
entrant sign-ups. The arena area includes chutes for bull riding events
under the Crow's Nest and a cattle chute and gate for roping events. The
far end also has a stripping stand with holding pins. There are also
several stock pens behind the Crow's Nest for holding rough stock .
The arena facilities include lighting for nighttime events, use of a wireless timing system, and a wireless public address system with two microphones so announcers in the Crow's Nest and judges in the arena can make announcements at the same time. Viewing stands set under large elm trees provide a shaded, comfortable venue for spectators. The arena area has an ideal mixture of dirt and sand that is watered for events and routinely turned and dragged to maintain great footing. |

There are several stock pens behind the Crows Nest for holding rough stock and 16 portable stalls for overnight boarding of horses. The arena sits on 10 open acres which provides a large area for parking trailers. A smaller practice arena in the northwest corner of the property provides a protected warm-up area and can also be used for speed events, goat tying, or lead line events, which allows for running events in the main arena at the same time.
