Grand Entry

Mr. Jack Seller founded the Jack Seller’s Bexar County Palomino Patrol in 1951 especially for the San Antonio Rodeo’s Grand Entry. It has provided a colorful start for 63 years to every performance of the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.

The Patrol carries the American Flag in a special “Salute to America” presentation. It is known for its beautiful Palomino horses, silver saddles and the riders’ rhinestone uniforms which add to the unique look and feel of the Grand Entry.

The Drill Team honors the spirit of Texas heritage by carrying the Texas Flag. Members of this team must have excellent horsemanship abilities due to the fast paced action. The uniform consists of designed chaps in black and silver leather, matching the horses’ tack.

In the past, the Palomino Patrol has served as the color-guard for three gubernatorial parades, was presented to Queen Elizabeth II during her royal visit to San Antonio, has performed for the President of Mexico, and appeared in movies including Selena and Texas Justice.
