About Us

Rodeo Ranch is mainly located in Cheyenne, Wyoming in the summertime & Wickenburg, Arizona in the winter time, with additional operations in Wheatland & Laramie, Wyoming. Rodeo Ranch is a family owned operation, ran by Dave & Cindy DeLancey with the help of their daughter, Raegen DeLancey. 

Dave is the head of ranch operations and the training program. Dave has been apart of the industry since he was born, and is a 3rd generation cowboy. A former PRCA bronc rider with various pro-rodeo wins and prestigious qualifications, he has also had a rope in his hand his whole life. Dave has various helpful equine based degrees, including a bachelors of science in equine management from Laramie County Community College, and an applied science of farrier technology from Northwest Missouri State University, under the direction of Dr. Doug Butler. He was a professional farrier for over 25 years, and has trained young for the past 35 years. When it comes to training horses, Dave believes in taking his time and not skipping steps, this builds confidence in young horses.

 

Cindy DeLancey is the mastermind behind the breeding program. Cindy is in the know on all things related to breeding winners. With an intense understanding of genetics, Cindy is dedicated to crossing Rodeo Ranch stallions on phenomenally bred, proven mares. Rodeo Ranch's program doesn't just focus on the stallion's bloodlines, but the maternal bloodlines as well. Cindy has also done an outstanding job building Rodeo Ranch's stallion program from the ground up, which has been her passion since establishing Rodeo Ranch in 2020. Cindy is the driving force behind creating a herd of 4 stallions that are enrolled in all of the major incentives including the Pink Buckle, Ruby Buckle, Riata Buckle, the Royal Crown, the Diamond Classic & more!
