Our Mission The Middle Georgia Junior Rodeo Association (MGJRA) prepares children for rodeo competition at the high school and collegiate levels. We strive to promote the development of good sportsmanship, promote the sport of rodeo and expose its positive image to the general public, encourage fair competition and offer a privilege of family bonding through our family oriented activities. In an effort to preserve our Western Heritage, all contestants are required to wear western attire at all times while in the arena (long sleeve button up shirt, western boots and cowboy hat). We also enforce the no pass no play rule. Report cards are checked to monitor our competitors grades. Many events do not even require the contestants to own or ride a horse. Some events allow the use of a shared horse or a borrowed horse. Our History Middle Georgia Junior Rodeo was started in 1993 at the Black Diamond Ranch in Fort Valley, Georgia where a few friends gathered together on a Saturday morning to teach their children to compete in rodeo events. Over the years our organization has grown and we started leasing the Hawkinsville Harness Facility in June of 2005. This is a wonderful covered arena where we will have all of the Middle Georgia Junior rodeo events. Please visit the schedule page for a complete list of upcoming event dates. Membership Membership is open to families with children less than 15 years old (September 1st) who are not in or eligible for high school. Participants acquire points at the individual rodeos held throughout the year at the arena in Hawkinsville. After the rodeo season concludes with the finals in July, numerous saddles, belt buckles and other awards are presented to champions and finalists at the year end awards banquet.
