About this Event

The Wayne County Equine and Recreation Center (WCERC), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is honored to feature a historic event in the City of Detroit hosted by the Michigan Rodeo Association and will be showcasing Cowboys and Cowgirls coming nationwide to compete in a first-of-its-kind rodeo.

To continue the legacy and dream of John Bingham, The Wayne County Equine and Recreation Center (WCERC), a 501(c)3 non-profit envisions a one-of-a-kind equine center which will host an indoor arena for all-season riding, classes on equine husbandry, horse showing, pleasure riding, and introduction to job opportunities in equine services. The equine has proven to positively impact youth as well as fostering positive self-esteem, encouraging team-building skills, discipline, peer-bonding, respect and fostering a sense of purpose.

The mission of WCERC is to continue the vision of Mr. Bingham, a prominent businessman and entrepreneur in Detroit as well as an equestrian who was very committed to sharing his love of horses with the youth of Detroit. He was a member of various equine organizations and played a pivotal role in the 4-H and the Young Riders which consisted of children from the ages of 5 and up. The Young Riders participated and competed in local rodeos in places such as the iconic Michigan State Fair Grounds. He was also instrumental in donating his personal horse to hippotherapy sessions which is proven to be a powerful transformative therapy to youth with neurological impairments and cognitive/communication deficits.

The WCERC provides riding instruction and equine classes to youth in southeast Michigan. It is the goal of WCERC to provide an introduction and outlet for youths in our community to realize that life offers a variety of possibilities for enjoyment and employment. Also, the WCERC is committed to rebuilding the equine community which has significantly declined over the last 20 years. We are passionate about introducing the equine world to the youth of the Southeast Michigan communities. Our goal is to make this rodeo an annual event and to put Michigan back into the ranking for equine culture.
