​Dear 2025 MSRA Members,
Greetings! I hope everyone is having a great Rodeo season. Being it’s smack dab in the middle of it, I figured I’d touch base with you to give you all an update on what has been happening while you’re hitting those rodeo goals.
It’s that time of year where we, (mostly Kandi, Steve, Matt and Andrea), have been working hard at making another awesome MSFR. Jackets, buckles, and other great prizes are headed your way. We look forward to seeing you in October.
The bids are open for the Arena and Announcer. Please let whom ever you thought did it best, know they can put in for it if they’ve met the requirements. Direct them to this website please. Also put it on your minds for who you like to see as far as personal working your finals. I’ll have more on the voting soon.
There is still half of the season to get qualified and make the Finals, so keep going and supporting our amazing Stock Contractors who support us. Let them know we appreciate them and their efforts to help us live the Rodeo dream. Also, keep an eye on our Listings for added rodeos!
Lastly, stay safe, keep winning, and we will see you in Swanton in October!
Regards,
Bump Postlethwait
MSRA President
