Our queens are going to make out like bandits this year—and Allison Weaver is a big reason why!

She just keeps adding to these prize packages, and we are here for it. Thanks to Allison:
✨ Each queen will receive an assortment of concho hair ties
✨ Each queen will receive a Cowgirl Soul necklace

A little sweetness goes a long way—especially when it’s shared with a great horse

Each of our contestants will receive Misty Mints horse treats, generously provided by Carolyn Steppe with Callisto Treat Company.
It’s the perfect way to reward those hardworking partners who give their all every ride, every run, and every mile.
We’re so thankful for this thoughtful donation and for supporting the horses that make it all possible!
