With March the wintery weather does not seem to be leaving anytime soon. But that doesn’t stop this traveling gypsy. February brought yet another year at the Ripon Almond Blossom Parade. Earlier this year I had a completely crazy idea (shocking I know) I thought we could turn my coronation dress into a top and […]
For those of you that keep up on the Agricultural industry, every March the nation celebrates National Ag Day, an oppurtunity for our political leaders to learn more from their local agricutlurlaists, and for our voices and issues to be heard. This year I did something wild, wacky and different, I as the Mother Lode […]
For those not framiliar with the rodeo world, being a rodeo queen is an amazingly unique job in so many ways. One of the largest of these is the way that we compete; girls prepare for months and sometimes years, for a singular shot at a title. In many states pageants are few and far […]
With the Mother Lode Round-Up we have something that is kinda out in left field, maybe even down right crazy in the queen world, well all of the world honestly. We have a 3 month long contest. Yep you read that right, for 3 months a group of girls joins together for the singular purpose […]
Wow it has been pedal to the metal the past few months I realize that I haven’t updated my blog very much OK well maybe not at all. But here is my chance to redeem myself I hope y’all aren’t too mad at me or haven’t forgotten about me! After Grand National my schedule shifted […]

Well this month it’s been a pretty busy one; weird considering July is supposed to be the busiest rodeo month. But for me it’s October, I’ve had an event every weekend! This past weekend was the California Circuit finals. For the non rodeo esque, the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) divides the nation up into […]
This weekend was one of the things I have been looking forward to most in my year as Round-Up Queen. Not the National Finals, or Gold Tour rodeos, but my simple little hometown rodeo. Throughout my life I have been split between two homes, one in the mountains of Sonora, and the LA suburbs of […]
Well I’ve had a half a dozen update posts in my que, but you know what they say, the best laid plans! Today I finally decided there’s no time like the present to update my wonderful readers. Between a new job in SF, traveling back and forth to keep miss priss ridden and a rodeo […]
Well I know how many of you were wondering and sadly the answer is no my chaps have not showed up; but the rodeo still goes on! And I just got back from the Reno Rodeo. It’s pretty exciting as it is the first rodeo where I get to stay in a hotel and do […]
