ed. Out of this desire came the Exceptional Kids Rodeo, which pairs children who have special needs with rodeo cowboys. The Reno Rodeo was one of the first Rodeos to introduce this event to rodeo fans in 1983 and it continues today as SKR. SKR is an event for children who are mentally or physically challenged. The intent of the Reno Rodeo Association and its members is to give these children the opportunity to interact with animals they would see perform in the rodeo as well as rope steer dummies and ride mechanical bulls and horses.
