CSSHA Winter Jackpots & Shows
CSSHA 2023 Winter Use of Central Wyoming College’s Arena Final Event was held March 4 & 5 Breakaway Ranch Roping: Congratulations to the winners of the CSSHA Winter Breakaway Roping Jackpot held March 5 at Central Wyoming College Equine Center in Riverton. The arena was full both days, and there was a lot of friendly competition. It was a fun weekend, as everyone helped out to improve all of our roping skills. On Saturday, we practiced roping and held a taco bar lunch. On Sunday after practicing, we held the Breakaway from the Herd Roping Jackpot. Winners collected payouts, and the Open and Youth champions won beautiful buckles. As always, we want to thank Rod and Pam Rivers who make sure these winter weekend practices and jackpots happen, and the CWC Equine staff and students who let us use their arena to play.
