The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) have postponed three major December 2025 events—the National Finals Breakaway Roping, the PRCA Permit Challenge, and the Benny Binion Bucking Horse Sale—due to a recent Equine Herpesvirus (EHV/EHM) outbreak. The organizations said they were notified by the South Point Hotel & Casino Arena, prompting the decision in accordance with stringent Nov. 21 biosecurity guidelines.
The events, originally scheduled for December 2–4, will be rescheduled once new dates and venues are identified. PRCA and Las Vegas Events are actively monitoring the outbreak and have issued updated equine health protocols for the 2025 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo to safeguard all participating horses. These enhanced measures underscore the commitment to maintaining high standards of biosecurity and animal welfare. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops, with official information available at prorodeo.com and through local Veterinary guidance.
