Does anyone know how many years Roy had his
Rodeo? What year they began and what year they
ended? I know his first movie as Roy Rogers was
1938 and he asked Dale to marry him as he was
entering one of his rodeos and that was 1948, so
they must have started sometime after 1938 and
probably went into the early 1950s. There is a stream
that shows their appearances but they start from
about 1955 and not earlier. Thanks

As far as I can find out it was in the 40's that he started his rodeo. R and D made their first appearance together around 1944. Nobody nose the exacts date as far as I can tell... As for when they ended I'm not at all sure. I'm thinkin' form what I've found that they ended in the mid 50's. So a little later in the 50's because. They "adopted" Marion after a trip over seas. I know they continued to make special appearances in Rodeo for quite some time in their later lives. I hope this is helpful.

I believe the first time Roy and the Sons of the Pioneers appeared at the Madison Square Garden Rodeo was in the fall of 1942, and they went back the following year and possibly more times after that. It may have been a guest appearance rather than his own show at that point, though. I'm not sure.
