A rodeo queen is a female representative and "face" of the sport of rodeo. She represents her rodeo, association, or region for a standard time of usually 12 months and is usually required to wear a cowboy hat, crown, and banner with her title on it. Being a rodeo queen requires skills in western style horse riding, public speaking, rodeo knowledge, appearance, and personality. Rodeo Queens spend their time professionally representing their title at various rodeos, parades, public events, television interviews, radio interviews, school events, and charity events.
There are three nationwide pageants in the United States, Miss Rodeo America, Miss Rodeo USA, and the National High School Rodeo Association Queen Contest. In addition most states have their own pageants. There are a number of qualifying pageants, local pageants, and contests for specific rodeo events. Australia also hosts rodeo queens. Rodeo associations can also hold queen pageants and crown rodeo queens such as Miss Rodeo New York and Miss Pennsylvania High School Rodeo Queen.
Most pageants require contestants to be single, childless, unmarried, under a certain age, and female. The most common major categories are appearance, horsemanship, knowledge, and personality, with a number of subcategories. The winner is usually chosen from a field of multiple contestants and judged by a panel of qualified judges in each event. The young lady with the most amount of points will win the title.
Bulls and broncs, cowboys and cowgirls � rodeo�s biggest superstars perform amazing feats of athleticism during each performance of our professional rodeo. Whether you prefer thrills and spills or speed and agility, the National Western�s Pro Rodeo is the event for you.

Great shot, Janice Rae. And a wonderful description of the rodeo queen. I was extremely impressed with the NHSRA National competitions the years we videoed them. Young ladies had high GPAs, involvement in community service, PLUS competition. And such family strength/support, which is not as prevalent in showing. Congrats on your features. V/F
