Former rodeo queens continue to carry the western spirit long after their crowns are passed on. From mentoring young royalty to representing their communities, they remain powerful symbols of leadership, tradition, and culture. Rodeo queens have long served as ambassadors of the western way of life, honoring heritage while inspiring future generations. 

“Once a rodeo queen, always a rodeo queen.” They continue to ride with pride, preserving the legacy of rodeo through mentorship, community involvement, and unwavering dedication to western traditions. Their crowns may have changed hands, but their impact continues to inspire young cowgirls and future queens to honor the culture, strength, and beauty of the rodeo way of life.

Always a sight to see our Apache Cowgirls continuing the rodeo legacy, today the Theodore Roosevelt School Jr Rodeo, hosted a dummy roping for mothers and 3 Former Miss Rodeo Apaches entered;
