The new Miss Norco Mounted Posse Rodeo Queen calls pageant night “surreal”. “Ever since I was introduced to Miss Rodeo America, Brandy Dejong, at the age of nine, I have grown up emulating and admiring the women of rodeo royalty.  The young women who wear these crowns know how to embrace their western lifestyle, hold strong to their values and exemplify the modern cowgirl younger generations can look up to.  My dream came true that night they called my name and I am so excited to have the opportunity to follow in these women’s footsteps to serve as an ambassador for the sport of professional rodeo.", says Kristyann.

Kristyann competed in a two-day pageant for the coveted crown of Miss Norco Mounted Posse and on her journey to the crown, captured five of the seven pageant categories; Congeniality, Photogenic, Appearance, Test, and Horsemanship. Having been born and raised in Norco, she has been blessed with the opportunity to grow up in a community where she can live the western lifestyle and is proud to represent her hometown.

As a cowgirl, Kristyann’s love for horses lives deep within who she is and is always at the center of her goals.  After graduating from Cal State San Bernardino with a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry, Kristyann plans to attend the College of Veterinary Medicine at Western University of Health Sciences DVM program specializing in large animals.  Her ultimate goal is to work as a rodeo veterinarian and take part in the advancement of animal care and welfare.  She currently works at the Animal Medical Center of Corona where she is learning hands on in the veterinarian industry. When not performing academically, she enjoys performing in the show arena, riding her horses down the Norco trails and competing in her newest adventure; mounted shooting.

It’s a special year for Norco, and Kristyann would like to invite you all out August 22, 23 & 24th as they celebrate their 30th year of the Norco Mounted Posse Rodeo and the 50th birthday of the City of Norco!
