The Horse Sale At Rancho Rio presented by Tito's
2024-03-15 08:00 - 2024-03-16 17:00 | Rancho Rio Arena Wickenburg AZ, 1325 N Tegner St 1325 North Tegner Street Wickenburg, AZ 85390, Wickenburg, AZ, 85390, United States
Join us for the 10th Annual The Horse Sale at Rancho Rio presented by Tito’s Handmade Vodka. The Premier Rope Horse Sale in the World approximately 65 consignments sell at this spectacular, one-of-a-kind, once-a-year event. A Yost Events, Inc. production in The Team Roping Capital of the World, Wickenburg, Arizona.

Since it’s inception, The Horse Sale at Rancho Rio has become the leading invitational rope horse sale in the country and the premier horse sale of the Team Roping Capital of the World. Held each year in Wickenburg, Arizona, in conjunction with the National Team Roping Finals, The Horse Sale at Rancho Rio is limited to 65 top rope horses and draws consignors and buyers from all over the U.S. and Canada.
Renowned auctioneer Steve Friskup, who takes the auction block each year under the big top tent at Rancho Rio, equates going to The Horse Sale in Wickenburg to going to a Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction.
“If you’re a primo car buyer, you go to a Barrett-Jackson auction,” Friskup said in an interview with The Team Roping Journal. “It’s the same way with ropers. You can expect to take in an overload of your favorite sport.”
In 2021, the seventh edition of The Horse Sale at Rancho Rio moved more than $2.5 million in rope horses and has surpassed the million-dollar mark in total sales since 2019. Some of the top names in the rodeo and the performance horse industry have come through the sale ring including Trevor Brazile, Patrick Smith, Brad Lund, Bobby Lewis, Turner Performance Horses, Wilson Cattle Company and many more.
Most consignors have their horses in Arizona for buyers to watch at jackpots well in advance of the sale and we encourage buyers to take advantage. Reach out, do your research, and go try any horses that you might be interested in.
The 2024 Horse Sale at Rancho Rio presented by Tito’s Handmade Vodka will offer a full team roping preview on Friday, March 15, with the auction slated to take place on Saturday, March 16. Follow Rancho Rio on Facebook for updates.

20th Annual Cowgirl Up!
2025-03-28 08:00 - 2025-05-25 17:00 | The Desert Caballeros Western Museum, 21 North Frontier Street, Wickenburg, 85390, United States
In 2005, Desert Caballeros Western Museum embraced a revolutionary idea: an annual exhibition showcasing the brightest contemporary female artists working in the Western genre. In the male-dominated world of Western Art, Cowgirl Up! turned the spotlight squarely on women’s voices and perspectives, serving up a new, deeper understanding of the American West. Over a decade later, CU! remains one of the major national events for Western women artists.

Cowgirl Up! is a crossroads where artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts come together to explore what it means to be a Western artist. CU! artists ride the range of techniques, styles, and mediums, traditional and contemporary.
Your purchase of original artworks supports the endeavors of women artists working today and of the Desert Caballeros Western Museum. CU! art can be bought throughout the run of the exhibition at the Museum or online.
The Cowgirl Up! exhibition is divided into two parts: a gallery of “miniatures” and a gallery of full-sized art. Artwork in the Main gallery should remain on display throughout the exhibition and will be available for pick-up or delivery after May 25, 2025.

Giddy-on-up to the 12th Annual Wickenburg’s Wild West Run! Cinch up your shoes, secure your hat, and come run (or walk!) through Arizona’s most western town.

Following an out-and-back course beginning at Sunset Park (3020 W. Wickenburg Way, Wickenburg, AZ 85390), the race takes a gradually descending path east until reaching the 5k turnaround.
Heading south and with the majestic Vulture Peak off in the distance, 10k and half-marathon runners face a gradual climb in elevation until reaching their respective turnaround points.
10k participants turn around just beyond Wickenburg’s Los Caballeros Golf Course, while half-marathon runners continue through Wickenburg’s scenic terrain and gently rolling hills for another 3.45 miles before turning back.
Having gradually ascended above the town, the turnaround gives participants a picturesque view of Wickenburg and its surrounding beauty. You won’t find a more beautiful run in all of Arizona. Enjoy your run! And yes! You can run in your spurs; just don’t squat!
