We are an exciting new rodeo event that features world class cowboys matched with hand-picked world class stock in the three events; bareback riding, saddle bronc and bull riding. It is produced by 4 Time World Champion and Hall of Fame Bareback Rider Marvin Garrett. His life's work has been the sport of rodeo and his reputation in the industry is second to none. The respect he has earned throughout his career has allowed him to put together a unique combination of stock and cowboys.

The Professional Roughstock Series originated with a one day event in 2000 that featured NFR cowboys and the best stock competing before a sold out crowd in the charming Black Hills community of Spearfish, SD. This event was broadcast on the Outdoor Channel to a national audience of 12.5 million homes. The event has since grown into an annual series with multiple events televised nationally on BlueHighways TV cable.

The Professional Roughstock Series has been described as the fastest growing, most exciting, most talked about event in Rodeo today. The skill and traditions shown with roughstock make it a natural for becoming a national and international event. As the West is part of our heritage, people around the world are captivated with that part of history. Our mission is to provide a family oriented, educational approach to tapping into the "old west" interest and present the best in the world to local, regional, national, and world-wide audiences with live performances and televised broadcasts.

The Professional Roughstock Series is proud to produce events that are Fan friendly, Sponsor friendly and Cowboy friendly and to bring to a city a high quality, high action, professionally produced event.
