Our Horses, Their Knowledge, Your Willingness To Learn

The Miss Rodeo Wyoming 2017 Clinic was held in Laramie, Wyoming April 1-2. Not only did the location change for this year's clinic, but also the format. Former Miss Rodeo Wyoming titleholders Stacy (Johnson) Berger, Kimberly (Kuhn) Romsa, and Holly Kennedy brought in enough horses for each girl to ride. The girls didn't spend much time on one individual horse, but rather switched horses three or four times throughout the horsemanship section. The biggest take-away from the horsemanship portion was PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
Other topics covered were knowledge, appearance, personality, etiquette, rodeo events, and interviews. PRCA rodeo announcer Derek Barton gave some great insider tips to the participants on media interviews. Former Miss Rodeo Wyoming Crystal (Rivers) Myers had her husband, Cody Myers, come and share his extensive knowledge of rodeo events. He didn't just bring in roughstock equipment in for demonstrations, but he had the girls get on the bucking machine to get a feel for what cowboys have to do in the rodeo arena. Safe to say, every girl made the whistle without falling off.
Sunday was full of more information on rodeo from Mountain States Circuit director and Laramie Jubilee Days Chairman, Guy Warpness. The girls then each participated in three timed interviews. The panels gave each girl feedback on what to work on and what they did well. Everyone then made it home safe with another Wyoming spring storm on its way. It was a great year and the Miss Rodeo Wyoming Association would like to thank the former Miss Rodeo Wyoming Titleholders, presenters, volunteers, and sponsors for making this clinic a success.
