✨ 𝓓𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓭𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓶 𝓲𝓽… ✨ Every Miss Rodeo Texas journey begins with a dream. These incredible women once stood right where you are—now, they’re sharing the wisdom that helped them turn their rodeo queen dreams into reality! 👑 ![]()
"My dreams of wearing a crown started when I was born - LOL. My vivid imagination was sure that I was a long lost princess of some very wealthy horse loving country with tall, dark, and handsome princes for me to find! (Which I did, but that is another story. And he is only a prince in my eyes and the wealthy part is not monetary - LOL) As I got older, my dad was beside himself when a pageant would come on TV and he would have to watch. I was obsessed to say the least. My 12th birthday party was a pageant themed party and we all had to choose states to represent. So, when the time came for me to enter my first pageant - no one was surprised. They were surprised at how well I did with no training! But alas, I was told the same thing I was told about everything in my life - “You are great, but you are too short!”. Well don’t tell me that! Hold my Dr. Pepper!![]()
I wanted to enter THSRA, but was told by the region that they already had a queen picked (their daughter). No worries! I can wait! Once in college, I started a rodeo team at a two year college - but we didn’t have an active sponsor so that kind of flopped after about one year. So, when I got my Associates of General Studies, I came home to good ole Sul Ross to finish. I had finally found an outlet! And I jumped! I had NO idea what I was doing and just winged it. I borrowed a horse from Allen Childs and pulled my boots on! I ended up first runner-up. But in that process, I met a girl by the name of Robin McElroy. She was Miss Rodeo El Paso and she got me hooked and then entered a guy named Wayne Smith and they started getting me ready for Miss Rodeo SandHills. Now, I wasn’t supposed to win that and when the scores came back they demanded a recount and it took about an hour for that to happen. But I had won and not by a little. But I had no clue as to what was fixing to happen! Enter Dawn Tripp! Wow, did I get an earful! I drove 2 hours home in tears. But I was determined to prove them all wrong. I hired a dressage coach. I have never been more sore in my life! I read everything I could get my hands on. I ordered a video featuring Pam Minick and Shelley Gaylord called “To capture the Crown” and I wore that thing out! I copied everything they did and said and of course had MANY a session with Dawn and her mom! No one - not even me - expected for me to win at Miss Rodeo Texas that year. I was old, inexperienced, mouthy, uneducated in how pageants work, and most of all no one thought my riding skills were good enough to place much less win! But God has other plans! And by His grace, I won! ![]()
It was an amazing adventure that changed my life! And it still is! I feel that God placed me into a family of sash sisters that are amazing women in their own right. We all have different talents and strengths that help us to continue to make Miss Rodeo Texas a great role model! So don’t let people put a label on you! Continue to trust in your path. If it is yours - God will see you through!"

I had so much fun at the Burnet County Rodeo Association Rodeo Queen Clinic! From the moment I got there, I could tell it was going to be a great time. I met so many new friends, and everyone was super nice and welcoming. It didn’t take long before we were all laughing, talking, and helping each other out.![]()
The girls I hung out with were awesome. We shared stories, joked around, and cheered each other on during activities. I even learned some new things! We got to try new skills, practice techniques, and even picked up some fun facts we didn’t know before.![]()
By the end of the day, I didn’t want it to be over. I left with a big smile, new friendships, and a bunch of great memories!![]()
