The Homestead Rodeo Association is a not-for-profit
Florida corporation recognized under IRS tax code
501 (c) as a public charitable organization.
The HRA supports youth activities such as the Black
Stallion Literacy Project, now in its fifth year.
Under this project, the HRA provides two books,
‘Little Black, a Pony’ and ‘Little Black Goes to the
Circus’ to first graders.
In conjunction with the South Florida Trail Riders,
the HRA takes horses to visit five Homestead area
elementary schools. On the day before the Rodeo
kicks off,
the HRA sponsors a free Horse / Kids Day where 900
or more first graders take a field trip to the
Arena. They get to see performances by the Homestead
Everglades Posse drill team, exhibitions by the
South Florida Trail Riders, trick roping
demonstrations, rodeo clowns and more. Students get
to visit several horse related learning stations
giving them an up close & personal experience they
will never forget.
