Proudly presenting your “2011 Year End California Circuit Champions”
The Championship Saddle of the RAM California Finals Rodeo
After competing in numerous prestigious rodeos within the California Circuit this past year, many of the top contenders met at the 2011 RAM California Finals Rodeo. Thousands of rodeo fans were on hand to watch their favorites compete over the course of the 3-day event.

Each Champion was also presented with a beautiful custom-made Corriente Trophy provided by Sponsors Western Pacific Roofing Corp, Palm Springs, Western Pacific Roofing Corp. Palmdale, Stone Roofing Co., Inc. Azusa, and American Services of CA in Dublin and Sacramento.
