Thank you so much to the Poway Rodeo Committee for providing this opportunity for the youth barrel racers!

The results from the Youth 4/D Jackpot 8/22/26 will determine the qualifiers for the Poway PRCA/WPRA Rodeo - Youth Barrels.

The Top Six in each of the Divisions, as well as the bottom 6 of the Youth jackpot will qualify to run at the Rodeo. A total of 30 qualified contestants will have the opportunity to compete in the Jr Barrel Race at the Poway Rodeo.

Note that the committee will be given the full results of entries/placings for the Junior Barrel race and will have the opportunity to select alternates from that list as they wish.

At the end of the jackpot, if your are announced as a Qualifier and you would like to compete at the rodeo:

The entry form must be filled out and the $​ 100 entry fee must be paid. Parent/Guardian will need to sign the forms.

The representative from the Poway Committee will be there to accept the paperwork, and photos of each contestant will be taken.

Contestants are encouraged to bring a hat/ western attire for their photos, although DRESS CODE is not required during competition.

This will be an afternoon/evening race so Youth will have an opportunity to run under the lights!

Hey local girls, here is a pageant that is wonderful to compete in. I loved my time as a Jr. Queen and Queen for Lakeside!

👑 It’s almost that time! 👑

Save the date for our 2027 Miss Rodeo Lakeside orientation!

What is a rodeo queen without stunning headshots? Portraits are an essential part of being a rodeo queen, so who better than the master, Rob Riingen Photography? Rob is not only our choice photographer for portraits for contestants and queens, but is also our official pageant photographer! We deeply appreciate Rob and Sue for their artistic eyes both in the studio and rodeo arena. Riley & I hand out hundreds of our signed autograph sheets to children at every rodeo, with none other than our Rob Riingen Photography portraits! We are so lucky to have these keepsakes of our journey for the rest of our lives. That is truly invaluable.
