The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo upheld its mission of promoting agriculture and supporting Texas youth and education, as this year’s private Junior Livestock and Horse Show competitions officially wrapped for 2021. The 2021 competitions received more than 24,000 entries.

“We are extremely proud of our dedicated Texas 4-H and FFA exhibitors and horse show competitors whose hard work and dedication was on full display during these events, as they competed for the coveted title of Houston Champion,” said Chris Boleman, president and CEO. “It was important for us to be able to fulfill our mission, while promoting a safe and healthy environment for our exhibitors, and together, everyone did their part to help us complete a successful event.”

The 2021 junior livestock and horse show competitions were held as private events and spread out over several weeks, with some events held off-site, allowing the opportunity for Texas 4-H and FFA youth to exhibit their projects in compliance with health and safety guidelines.

“While the look and feel of this year’s junior livestock and horse show competitions were different, the support and enthusiasm for our participants remained stronger than ever,” Boleman said. “We are incredibly grateful for our dedicated volunteers, donors, sponsors, and community partners, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2022 for the 90th anniversary of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.”
