The Miles City Bucking Horse Sale is a major event in Montana with the feature of Auctioning of Bucking Horses. The event includes the rodeo style of bucking both bareback and saddle bronc horses and then we auction them off to the highest bidder. We also buck bulls and sell them to the highest bidder. Both of these are part of the event.

Directions: The Miles City Bucking Horse Sale can be found by if going east on I-94, take the first exit off to right. Going west on I-94, take the third exit off to right. Travel to the Eastern Montana Fairgrounds located 1/4 mile west of Miles City.
