I have had a wonderful and fun-filled experience representing the Grand National Rodeo, Horse and Livestock Show as your 2011 Miss Grand National Rodeo.
I am the twenty-two year old daughter of Troy Edwards and Tai Anne Elam. I have always been an avid horse lover and rodeo supporter. I believe that the rodeo and ‘horse’ way of life instills responsibility and creates work ethic in individuals and allows people to conquer their dreams; I am grateful to be living this lifestyle and where it has taken me.
I am the proud owner of four horses - three quarter horse mares, and one paint horse gelding. I have been a horse lover since a very early age, and only came to realize the sheer joy of actually owning my own horse when my parents finally gave in and bought me my first horse Rosie, at the age of 14. They thought their horse crazy kid would be satisfied with just the backyard riding and one little old mare; little did they know that they opened a door to a passion that has grown into a lifestyle. I now compete in reining, reined cow horse events, sortings, barrel racing and pleasure events with my four legged kids. Horses are burned into my soul, and will always have a place in my future.
Currently I am attending Lassen Community College where I am obtaining a degree in Animal Science. Once I have completed my schooling, I plan to become a college instructor and help young adults in pursuing their dreams of being involved with the field of agriculture.
As your 2011 Miss Grand National Rodeo I have had the pleasure of many miles of traveling, making new friends, partaking in unforgettable rodeo’s, and receiving thousands of smiles from rodeo supporters while visiting other rodeos throughout California and Nevada. The opportunity to represent this great rodeo is one that I will never forget!
I invite everyone to attend the Grand National Rodeo which will be held this October, the 19-20 and the 26-27.
