NMSU Rodeo does limit active members to 50 members to provide our team members with effective and intentional practice opportunities. All walk-on rodeo athletes are required to meet with the Head Coach prior to attending their first meeting and purchasing their membership card. Safety being a priority, we will offer optimal experiences for those dedicated to the sport of rodeo, while we all promote NMSU Rodeo and achieve National Championships.

You are welcome to submit videos to rodeo@tarleton.edu and contact the Rodeo Office at 254-968-9187 for a potential spot on the team. We would look forward to meeting with you
