PRCA Rodeo
October 8–10, 2026 · 7:30 PM nightly · Seguin Event Center Arena
The road to the gold starts in Seguin
Lancaster Pro Rodeo Company brings a professional rodeo show packed with action, tradition and family fun back to Seguin in 2026.
The Guadalupe County Fair Association PRCA Rodeo rides into the Seguin Event Center Arena Thursday through Saturday, October 8–10, 2026, with performances beginning each night at 7:30 p.m.
Seguin is proud to host one of the first rodeos of the 2027 PRCA season, giving fans a front-row seat as top cowboys and cowgirls launch their chase for a spot at the 2027 National Finals Rodeo. With increased contestant added money in recent years, this has become a must-enter event for competitors looking to make an early move in the world standings — which means fierce competition, thrilling rides, and the real possibility of seeing several world champions in the arena.
Come see our Royalty kick off each night’s events at 7:25 PM sharp, when the True Women Drill Team presents the flags.

Rider & Bethany
This husband-and-wife duo brings rodeo entertainment to a whole new level with breathtaking trick riding, lightning-fast roping and daring stunts that keep fans on the edge of their seats. Rider is known for his trick roping and gun-spinning; Bethany captivates audiences with fearless horsemanship and trick riding.
Bethany started trick riding at nine and began performing at rodeos across the Midwest at ten. She turned professional at eighteen and has since performed at the Prairie Circuit Finals, Great Lakes Circuit Finals and others.
Rider grew up a fifth-generation cowboy. He got a Will Rogers trick roping kit for Christmas at nine, and by twenty-three was a two-time World Champion All-Around Western Performer, four-time World Champion Trick Roper and two-time World Champion Gun Spinner.
Together they have performed at nine circuit finals, two National Finals Steer Ropings and the 2025 National Finals Rodeo — and were named the 2020 PRCA Dress Act of the Year.
Tough Enough to Wear Pink
Join us at the PRCA Rodeo on Saturday night to honor breast cancer survivors. Please proudly wear your pink.
The Guadalupe County Fair Association will make a donation to a respected cancer awareness organization for each person wearing pink on October 10, 2026, and will honor breast cancer survivors during the opening ceremonies of that night’s rodeo.
Survivors: be recognized. Contact Lisa Dudley at (210) 393-4505 or LJDcounts@yahoo.com. Each survivor receives a complimentary rodeo ticket for Saturday evening and will be recognized during the opening ceremonies.
