There are rodeos and then there are rodeos. The World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale is in a category by itself. In fact, many rodeos have their roots right here in Miles City, as the Bucking Horse Sale annually debuts some of the finest bucking stock seen on the continent.

The MCBHS has evolved to include a wide array of western action, including everything from a Kick-Off Concert, horse racing and of course bucking horses.
