The Ellensburg Rodeo Posse
The Posse is a very distinctive group. Currently the Posse rides Sorrel colored horses, all of which are outfitted with a brilliant yellow colored bridle and breast strap. The riders all wear bright yellow shirts and silver belly colored hats. Outfits like these can be seen for some distance, even at night. The Ellensburg Rodeo is one of the finest rodeos in existence. The Ellensburg Rodeo Posse actively participates in that event, riding during each of the grand entries and participating in events such as the hill race, relay race and the diner bell race during the rodeo.The Ellensburg Rodeo Posse invites all to come and visit with us at the Ellensburg Rodeo or any one of the parades in which we participate |
