The morning began by the girls taking in the hospitality of Bankers Cup, a coffee shop here in St. Paul. Thanks to their generous donation the contestants, judges and our chaperones were able to have a complimentary pastry and a cup of Joe. They then headed down to the St. Paul Rodeo Arena for the horsemanship competition. Here all 4 contestants competed in 2 rounds of horsemanship and carried a sponsor flag for our panel of Judges. The first round was completed riding draw horses with a set pattern, and the 2nd round was a 2-minute freestyle reining pattern on their own horse. All did a fantastic job!
All contestants rode in former Miss Rodeo Oregon saddles that are custom made by Bob Roy of The Dalles. This year we will be presenting our 8th Bob Roy Saddle. If you haven’t seen his work make sure to stop our 2008 Miss Rodeo Oregon, Nichole Andrews when she is riding by and check it out!
Many volunteers pulled together to help pull off the event. Thank you to Past President, Bry Taylor for emceeing, MaryAnn Zelinski for singing our National Anthem and to the many helping hands at the gate and in the paddock area.
But we couldn’t have done it without the help of a special guy. A BIG thanks to Sonny Hansen who supplied the draw horses for this year’s competition. This is the third year Sonny has provided us with top notch stock and we appreciate him going out of his way to make sure his horses are here, clean and ready to go.
A LOOK AHEAD—TONIGHT!
