The Dixie National Rodeo: A Southern Tradition of Cowboy Excellence
By Jon Conklin • Updated • 6–8 min read
Jackson lights up every winter with the Dixie National Rodeo—top stock, packed stands, and runs that make careers.
Here’s why it matters and a barn-tested care routine that keeps your horses feeling good from slack to short round.
What Is the Dixie National Rodeo?
A cornerstone of Southern rodeo tradition, the Dixie National features PRCA/WPRA action across multiple performances—barrels, roping, roughstock, and more.
It’s known for stout competition, great crowds, and schedules that test a horse’s ability to peak repeatedly.
“Big lights, fairground grit, and horses that clock when it counts.”
Why It Matters to Riders & Fans
For Riders
Points, payouts, and pressure. Dialed routines and predictable recovery separate contenders from the crowd over a long week.
For Fans
Classic rodeo energy—top pros, rising talent, and the kind of atmosphere that turns first-timers into lifers.
A Multi-Day Rodeo Care Plan
1) Control the controllables
Haul smart, hydrate early, and keep feed simple. Short walks and quiet time beat busywork between runs.
2) Soft tissue first
Stops, turns, and quick accelerations stack stress. Build in hand-walking, stretching, and a steady cool-down.
3) Non-tingle recovery
Use sensation-free topical care after work so recovery calms your horse instead of lighting them up.
Show-Safe Products That Keep It Simple
Draw It Out® products are built for the show pen and the alleyway. Our flagship gel is
sensation-free (no heat, no sting) and stays where you put it, making post-work care predictable and drama-free.
For skin trouble—mud, rubs, cannon crud—lean on barrier-supporting options that won’t make a mess or slow you down.
I will never stop talking about how great and convenient this spray is and is our saving grace. I prefer to use this spray before a workout and when we are hauled out in the trailer, the best to spray after a run.
Jenna, this is exactly why we made the spray. Quick, easy, and there when you need it—before the ride to keep them loose, after the run to keep them fresh, and even on the road when the trailer miles stack up. We’re so glad it’s become your “saving grace.” Thanks for letting us ride along with you and your horses.
