Our Board of Directors elected to retain Miss Amanda Barlow as the 2012 Cave Creek Rodeo Queen. Since Amanda did such a fantastic job representing our rodeo in 2011, it was an easy decision for the Board to ask her to stay for another year. We are extremely pleased that she said YES!
Amanda is an energetic young lady who is quite accomplished in horsemanship and has competed in the sport of rodeo for many years. Her 2010 accolades include 1D trophy saddles from the IBRA and the BRN4D as well as several trophy buckles.
In addition to barrel racing and competing, Amanda rides and trains her stallions and is developing her own breeding program. One of the goals during her reign is to organize barrel racing competitions at the Cave Creek Memorial Arena with the assistance of the Cave Creek Pro Rodeo committee.
Amanda travels to many PRCA rodeos to promote Cave Creek Fiesta Days Rodeo. With the cost of fuel rising, it goes without saying that her trips can be quite expensive. If you are interested in helping Amanda with her travel expenses, please mail your tax-deductible donation (made payable to the DFCA) to:
