The Trail Ride dates back to the early days of the St. Paul Rodeo when the stock was brought into town for the rodeo. Now, this tradition lives on in a fun ride along the Willamette River and through the St. Paul countryside. The morning begins with a full pancake breakfast that anyone can attend, after filling up on pancakes the riders mount their horses for a parade through the center of town, ride approx. 10 miles through the countryside and ends 2-3 hours later at the rodeo grounds with a bbq lunch hosted by the St. Paul Jaycees.
Sunday, June 1 (come rain or shine!) St. Paul Rodeo's Royal Court will lead riders on horseback through the farmlands of the North Willamette Valley perpetuating the original kick-off function for the St. Paul Rodeo!PLANNING TO RIDE in the St. Paul Rodeo TRAIL RIDE?
