Women Lead and Compete at Caldwell Rodeo | Boise News
Description
The Caldwell Night Rodeo is rewriting rodeo history—on the dirt and in leadership. This year, women aren’t just competing for equal pay; they’re running the show, with Angelique Rood as president—the third woman to lead this 102-year-old Pacific Northwest institution. With $378K total prize money and $42K dedicated to women’s events, Caldwell proves equality isn’t just a goal—it’s the standard. From pioneering breakaway roping to honoring trailblazers like Melda Zachary (the first female rodeo president), this event celebrates generations of women who’ve broken barriers, both in the arena and behind the scenes. Champions are crowned Saturday night—and this rodeo’s legacy? It’s written by women, for everyone.
