 Established in 2003, by Darren and Johanna Zieffle, near Sounding Lake at Consort Alberta; Sounding Lake Arena provides an exciting rodeo environment for the community and surrounding area.
Each year, to kick off our season, we host a combined Open Steer Wrestling and Tie Down Roping Jackpot on the last weekend of October. This year we took over the Todd Boggust Memorial Steer Wrestling Jackpot which was a resounding success (see results). We also moved the jackpot to a week earlier. Many of the Canadian Finals current qualifiers attend to hone up their skills, before heading to Edmonton to battle it out for the coveted Canadian Championship.
Other activities at our facility include a Winter Series (Team Roping, Steer Wrestling, Tie-Down Roping, Junior Team Roping, Junior Series and a Barrel Racing Series).
Rodeo Schools are held at varying times of the year... we have three spring schools upcoming: two Steer Wrestling Schools and one Tie-Down Roping School.
