about us

The Richland Rodeo Team is comprised of high school students from Richland High School in North Richland Hills, TX. Each member is also a member of North Texas High School Rodeo Association. NTHSRA, a non-profit organization, is made up of high school students, grades 9-12 throughout North Texas.

Our Team is advised and sponsored by Celeta Moyer. We compete in 28 rodeos each season, which runs from September to June, with the Finals Rodeo at the historic Fort Worth Coliseum.

Football and baseball are great but it takes real courage to compete in rodeo. One of the most unique aspects of high school rodeo is that these athletes compete on the same stock that is used by college and professional rodeo contestants. Stock that would make most people tremble in fear. The cowboy/cowgirl and the stock used in rodeo compete against themselves and the clock as much as they compete against each other.

We are dedicated to the development of sportmanship and character in the youth of our country. Our members are required to conduct themselves in an exemplary manner, to abide by a strict dress code when competing, and to "play by the rules". Education is of paramount importance, we have a "no pass - no play" rule.

The school district does not provide any financial assistance to these high school student athletes or to the team. It is only through the efforts of Business Leaders, Parents, Volunteers, and Sponsors that allow us to continue this athletic activity and financially support a youth organization that so embodies our Texas Heritage and Traditions.
