Buna Bridle Club Rodeo Queen Contest

12/15/2025

Due to lower than normal interest, we have made the hard decision to cancel the 2026 Buna Bridle Club Rodeo Queen Contest. We are so thankful for the sponsors, participants, and parents the last two years, but we also know that rodeo queening isn’t as popular as it once was and understand that it’s hard to put together outfits, a horse, and dedicated practice time to an event that only happens once a year. And we know rodeo parents are already stretched so thin. We have throughly enjoyed hosting this contest for the last two years and it has been such a joy to see so many young ladies step out of their comfort zones and into the spotlight. Everyone that competed did so well!

We’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our 2024 and 2025 BBC Sweethearts, Princesses, Duchesses, Queens, and their families! You girls have done an absolutely amazing job representing the Buna Bridle Club and have made us all so proud! 🤍

Sincerely,
The BBC Rodeo Queen Board

Our Beautiful Buna Bridle Club Rodeo Princess 🩷

From running barrels to being crowned a rodeo princess, Joaquin Equestrian Sports member 𝐀𝐯𝐚 𝐑𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 has had a year for the books!

Ava recently placed third in the first division at the Josey Jr. World Championship Barrel Race held at the famous Josey Ranch in Karnack, Texas. The weekend before, she won fourth place overall at the Josey Reunion Barrel Race. Ava and her horse Duncan earned prize money and lots of incredible awards. In April, Ava qualified to compete in the barrel racing at the Vegas Tuffest World Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada. When she isn't barrel racing, she is promoting the western way of life as the Buna Bridle Club Rodeo Princess. 🔥

This summer, Ava will be attending barrel racing competitions and gearing up to start junior high rodeos in the fall. Ava also plans to attend the Miss Rodeo Texas Pageant and support her fellow sash sisters.

Congratulations Ava on your many accomplishments, and best of luck as you make this summer one to remember! 🤩
