Meet Miss Rodeo America Kennadee Riggs

Welcome to Boot Prints, a gathering place for people leaving their mark on the western industry. Just like a campfire after a long day working in the saddle, this is a place where friends become family.

Kennadee Riggs, A fourth-generation rodeo queen with rich roots in rodeo queening. The secret? Kindness. Kennadee's journey started long before she was crowned Miss Rodeo America. Her family's ties to the rodeo and the Western lifestyle date back to a time when the West was still being won. From her great-grandmother's reign as the Reno Rodeo Queen in 1950 to her own inspiring journey, Kennadee's story is one of family heritage, passion, and unwavering commitment to her late Nana's legacy.

 After representing Arizona for a year, she competed in a long, extensive competition showcasing her ability to become the next spokesperson for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and was judged by a set of judges in categories such as appearance, personality, public speaking and extemporaneous speaking, horsemanship, photogenics, and others, at the 2023 Miss Rodeo America Pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada in December of 2022.

Kennadee continues to shine as a beacon of Western values and be a role model for rodeo enthusiasts everywhere.
