For more than 50 years, Cavender’s has proudly supported the Western way of life. Whether it’s sponsoring local ranch rodeos or big-time events like the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, we’re committed to furthering Cowboy values and traditions that have been passed down for generations.

We founded Team Cavender’s Youth Rodeo team in 2019 to help grow rodeo by directly supporting the sport’s youngest athletes. Every year, athletes are carefully selected to represent Cavender’s on and off the dirt. Their rodeo accolades aren’t the only consideration, but also their leadership skills, character, and community involvement.

Team Cavender’s athletes collectively have world championships, national championships, state titles, and countless other prestigious awards. Ranging in age from 14 to 18, they represent 10 event disciplines. These athletes originate from Texas, New Mexico, Tennessee, Kansas, Missouri, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, and Oklahoma, bringing a wide range of skills.

“This year, we will have a full roster of 25 athletes, with nine of these athletes being our class of 2024 seniors. These athletes have become a part of the Cavender’s family, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish,” says Sydney Shepard, Cavender’s Athlete Relations, and Event Specialist.

Cavender’s is so proud to introduce to you our 2023-2024 Team Cavender’s athletes.
