2023 WPRA World Finals Comes To A Close

A weekend full of intense competition at the Womens Professional Rodeo Association World Finals wrapped up on Sunday, Nov. 13.
With it being the 75th Anniversary of the WPRA, the finals had some new exciting classes such as Permit Breakaway Roping and an All-Around Bonus.
The nation is split into 13 circuits comprised of over 3,600 women who are actively apart of this association today, helping showcase this great sport of rodeo from barrels to roping.
To be apart of the WPRA first-time members get a WPRA Permit and must win $1,000 at WPRA sanctioned barrel or roping events (excluding Futurity/Derby).
After a permit is filled then they are officially a WPRA card holder.
WPRA Card holders and permit holders alike battled it out at the WPRA World Finals.
