Each year in February, the foothills of the Snowy Mountains in NSW come alive with the sounds of one of the most exciting and spectacular sports that you might see; RODEO!! Rodeo is an exhibition of unquestionable grit, determination, fortitude and skill. It is a sport that has developed from the strong history of the great Australian stockman. A link with our long lost past where hard working men and women faced every adversity with the typical positive Australian attitude and still had enough energy for a bit of sport at the end of the day.
With a strong history of providing top level entertainment, the Cooma Rodeo is popular with young and old alike.
The Cooma Rural Rodeo has been run for 2010. Progressively over the next couple of days updates in ‘Latest News’ will be added to this website. The A & C Fun Day is in the planning stages and will be held on 23 October 2010.
Now the work will commence on the next rodeo and hopefully we are much closer to our latest aim. That is to have a permanent arena setup at the Cooma Showgrounds. Who knows maybe it will be in by 2011.

Ray Freebody Memorial Bronc Ride
Ray Freebody was a well known and respected member of the community. Ray had a profound influence on several members of the rodeo family. He was a great influence on his son David and travelled to as many rodeos as he could to watch and support him. He became a great friend to many cowboys and cowgirls. His happy face and kind words could always be counted upon.
After Ray passed away, his family decided to pay tribute to his love of the sport by creating the Ray Freebody Memorial Bronc Ride. Now in its seventh year, the Memorial is as hotly contested as any Bronc Ride in the Country, with cowboys vying for the prestige of being crowned the winner.
This year’s winner is Sean Read with a score of 76 points, closely followed by Dave Freebody on 75 points. Third placing was a tie between Troy Read, Lindsay Pate and Geoff Pollock. |
