The Voice of Washington County Pro Rodeo
Troy Goodridge
Troy, an Iowa native, didn’t grow up in a rodeo family, but he developed a passion for the sport of rodeo early on by competing in steer riding. This passion advanced to riding bulls at junior rodeos, high school events, and college rodeos, ultimately leading him to the PRCA, where he qualified for the PRCA RAM Great Lakes Circuit Finals in Louisville, Kentucky, and the World's Toughest Bulls and Broncs Series Finals in Madison, Wisconsin. After suffering a series of injuries while riding bulls, Troy sought a way to stay connected to the cowboy heritage he cherished. In 2003, he was offered the opportunity to announce a small rodeo event in Missouri, and the rest is history. Since that weekend, Troy has announced rodeos and bull ridings across multiple states, from Chicago, IL, to Deridder, Louisiana, and from Texas to New Jersey, covering almost everywhere in between. He has also had the privilege of being invited to announce over 30 different finals at the minor league level, showcasing his dedication to the rodeo community. Troy loves every aspect of the sport of rodeo and the cowboy way of life, particularly enjoying the athleticism of horses and bucking bulls. This passion keeps him busy studying for the next world champion animal athletes. Troy has been a PRCA announcer since 2009, and in 2023, he was honored as the WPRA announcer of the year. Additionally, Troy is very active in real estate as an agent in Kansas, where he lives with his family in the southeast part of the state near Fort Scott. We hope you enjoy the rodeo events and are very thankful for the opportunity to spend this time with you, allowing us to provide you with a small glimpse into our world of professional rodeo, including the Washington County Saddle Club. God Bless.
