Trump Welcomes Rodeo Champions to the White House After 42-Year Hiatus
Today, March 13, 2026, President Donald Trump welcomed the 2025 PRCA and WPRA World Champions to the White House for a presidential reception honoring their grit, skill, and dedication to America's classic sport.
This marks the first such recognition for rodeo's top athletes since President Ronald Reagan's era in 1983, when champions performed and were celebrated in a historic command performance.
Dressed in sharp Western wear, cowboy hats, and boots, the champions posed proudly in front of the iconic residence with the American flag flying high— a powerful symbol of heartland values finally getting their due in the nation's capital.
Rodeo fans across the country cheered the moment, seeing it as long-overdue respect for the hard-working men and women who embody courage, tradition, and the American spirit.
