the important skills learned by competing in rodeo queen pageants. Two
of these role models are Pam Minick and Jennifer Douglas Smith. Both of
these women are Professional Rodeo Commentators and both have carried
the title of Miss Rodeo America. Rachael understands that the hard work
and dedication required from competing in rodeo queen pageants will help
her achieve success in life.
