Our Story

Welcome to the Rafter 6S Backyard Invitational, where community and family values are our first priority. Our journey started with a small round robin between friends, wanting to bring the thrill of a jackpot home for some friendly competition. It's evolved to become a community event, different from other rodeos, with a welcoming and family first approach. Our contestants range from those who've never competed before, to experienced cowboys who've spent countless days in an arena. We take pride in offering top-notch facilities and a welcoming environment for all participants and spectators.

Our commitment to quality and authenticity has made us a fast growing event with huge increases in size and community support every year!

It's a family run event, focused on western culture and family values. Join us as we carry forward the tradition of rodeo camaraderie and create unforgettable experiences for all.
