The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association released a joint statement Friday, Nov. 21, in regard to the postponement of the 2025 National Finals Breakaway Roping due to the ongoing outbreak of the Equine Herpesvirus (EHV/EHM).
“The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association have received notice from the venue regarding the 2025 National Finals Breakaway Roping, PRCA Permit Challenge, and Benny Binion Bucking Horse Sale. Out of caution and the Nov. 21 stringent biosecurity guidelines, the events will not take place on Dec. 2, 3 or 4 at the South Point Arena. Potential dates and venues are being explored to host these events in a timely manner.”
The PRCA and Las Vegas Events are continuing to monitor the situation and have announced updated equine health guidelines for the 2025 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. These measures are designed to protect the wellbeing of all participating horses, while upholding the highest standards of biosecurity and animal care.
