The Texas Kate Wild West Show is fun for the whole family. Located in Tombstone, Arizona, the show is based on the old rodeo show of the Old West, with plenty of tricks, acts and comedy to keep everyone entertained on a trip to the town.
The show is run by Texas Kate and her husband Pigeon Jack, aka Jaye Anders-Kukowski and Steve Kukowski, both veteran Western performers. Texas Kate is a trained trick roper, bullwhip artist and rodeo performer as well as being a World Champion Trick Rider, and together with Pigeon Jack, himself a Cutting Horse Champion, they put on a fantastic Western arts display that truly showcases all of the skills of the cowboys and cowgirls of the Old West.
The show is full of comedy, trick rope displays, horse acts and trick riding, all supported by a cast of rescued animals. Visitors will be able to see all kinds of acts including bull fighting and whip cracking, all performed in the style of the Wild West shows of Buffalo Bill. Audience participation is encouraged to get everyone involved in the show, and people can't fail to be enthralled by what they see.
The show lasts for 40 minutes and is held indoors, so it will always go on no matter what the weather's like outside. The show runs throughout the year with two performances a day, one at 11:30pm and one at 3pm.
Admission prices are $6 for adults and $5 for children aged between 6 and 12, and children aged 5 and under get in for free. But, as well as the performance there's also a petting zoo that kids will love. Best of all it's completely free, so parents will love it too!
The Texas Kate Wild West Show is perfect for the whole family. Children and adults alike will love seeing the animals perform, all safe in the knowledge that they're well cared for and really enjoy what they do. The animals love showing off and are trained using the "positive reinforcement'' method, so they enjoy performing as much as visitors will enjoy watching.
Visitors love the acts performed, and having a champion trick rider makes them even more impressive. Animal lovers will be happy too, seeing as all of the animals used have all been rescued from neglect. The show is a bit of good clean fun for the whole family, with jokes and entertainment to keep everyone amused.
The show is a must-see for anyone in the Tombstone area. It will take them back to the days of the Old West, and will show what Western performances must have been like during the turn of the last century.
