Miss Rodeo America Pageant Alumni

From Purvis, Mississippi, participant 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭 has proven to be a leader in the equine industry as demonstrated by her recent title as 2021 Miss Rodeo Mississippi.

Throughout her youth and professional career, Mary Claire never shied away from a challenge, and her commitment to excellence and willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed sets her apart. Her commitment to the AQHA and the Mississippi Quarter Horse Association has allowed her to serve as a member of Team USA during the 2014 American Quarter Horse Youth World Cup, AQHYA regional director and MQHA national treasurer and vice president. Mary Claire graduated from Mississippi State University with a degree in business administration, where she was a member of both the Mississippi State Judging and IHSA equestrian team. Her greatest interests in the equine industry are the development of the youth association, horse judging and industry policy. In her free time, Mary Claire volunteers by teaching horse judging to local 4-H students. Her longterm goal is to obtain a professional judge’s cards with AQHA, APHA, IBHA, PHBA and NRHA.

The 𝐀𝐐𝐇𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 is designed for young adults, ages 19-34, to help support their development as young leaders in the equine industry. Learn more ➡️ https://hubs.li/Q01VlnXt0

We love seeing our alums shine! Congrats Lisa.

She could be a super model, she is super talented and super smart. She is my super woman and I am the most blessed man on the planet because of her.. Tonight Lisa takes the stage and receives her doctorate of education from Texas Tech University and I couldn’t be more proud. I have seen the behind the scenes work she has done to accomplish this and it is inspiring. She paid her way through all of college thanks to scholarships she earned through rodeo queening and she did all of it while working and riding and keeping me in line. She truly is a super woman. God had a special day when He created this one..
