IRON | Rodeo #11 — The Hummingbird Rodeo

Set across one of America’s most extraordinary private equestrian estates, IRON’s eleventh Rodeo edition will introduce Hummingbird Nest Ranch’s new chapter to Southern California’s equestrian, fashion, art and entertainment communities.

The land itself carries centuries of California history — once home to Chumash people and later part of Rancho Simi, the vast Spanish land grant established in 1795. In the modern era, the ranch became one of California’s most significant private equestrian properties, developed as a training ground for Olympic-class horses and today spanning over 126 acres of arenas, stables, vineyards, olive groves, lawns and Spanish Colonial architecture.

Recently acquired by the Cassar family, a family with deep equestrian roots, the ranch will open this remarkable setting to IRON’s community across horses, craftsmanship, fashion, art, music, hospitality and contemporary Western culture.

Guests will move from the Villa and Grand Prix field into a multi-arena equestrian program, then through the historic Stables transformed into a Future West fine art and craft gallery, before gathering around the Lake Lawn for food, music and conversation.

Rodeo #11 is not simply another stop on the IRON calendar. It is the first cultural collaboration of Hummingbird Nest Ranch’s new era — and an opportunity for a select group of partners, artisans and brands to join us and help define what comes next.

Welcome to the Future West.

PLEASE NOTE:

IRON is reimagining what Rodeo means—creatively shifting traditions and providing a modern, humane, and educational experience. IRON Rodeos do not include bull riding or bronc riding.

We blend true horsemanship, art, and storytelling, ensuring animals always come first. We want people to see the West differently—not just as a sport, but as a culture deeply tied to land, animals, and tradition.

Our rodeos are a platform for conversation, education, and respect — ensuring the next generation can make informed decisions.
