Rodeo’s a’comin’ in early March. So we asked four current and past rodeo queens for tips on pageant glory. These gals are tough as well as pretty — riding is a crucial skill — so listen up.

A. Faith, family, and love for our nation are put first before all thingsB. Be prepared to be an honest and genuine role model. There is ALWAYS a little girl aspiring to be just like you.
D. Never ever let your hat fall off. If your hat falls off, your head should be in it (which shouldn’t happen either).
E. Do your home work and know who and what you are representing and learn from our western forefathers that continue to pour their souls into our way of life.
F. Be kind to your competitors. Trying to sabotage them will eventually lead to your own self destruction.
G. Be yourself and have fun. It’s better to fail in originality than win in imitation.
H. Proper health and nutrition are just as essential for you as they are your horse.
I. Value your education whether it is learned in the classroom or in rodeo arena. No one can ever take your education away.
J. Being a rodeo queen is just a part of life, not all of it. If you aren’t enough without the crown, you will never be enough with the crown.
