how the competition works
Every June, young women and girls from compete in one of three age divisions of the Miss Silver Spurs Pageant: Miss Silver Spurs, Junior Miss Silver Spurs, or Little Miss Silver Spurs. Similar to beauty pageants you’d see on TV, all the divisions will go through an appearance, interview, and speech portion during the pageant. During the appearance portion of the pageant, the girls are judged on factors such as their posture, suitability of clothing, photogenic quality and more. One major difference between the appearance components of beauty and rodeo pageants is the requirement of Western clothing in rodeo pageants. As they are representing the Silver Spurs Rodeo and the Silver Spurs Riding Club, contestants will need to be well-educated on the history of the Club, knowledgeable about rodeo events, and aware of current events in general. Miss Silver Spurs contestants are also required to demonstrate their horsemanship skills. While this may sound daunting, there aren’t any crazy tricks the girls have to perform. The purpose of this portion is for the contestants to:
- 1. Learn a set American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) reining pattern that shows their control of the horse in certain moves
- 2. Perform a freestyle set to a song of their choice to showcase their personality and riding skill

After Miss Silver Spurs and the Miss Silver Spurs Court are crowned, all the girls will take on the glory of winning, but more importantly, the responsibility of representing Osceola County and the Silver Spurs Rodeo. Holding their title for a whole year, the Miss Silver Spurs Court will represent the Silver Spurs Rodeo at other local rodeos and community events that take place throughout the year. As a rodeo ambassador of the Silver Spurs Rodeo, the Miss Silver Spurs Court should be able to educate the public on the Silver Spurs Rodeo and how the Silver Spurs Riding Club serves the community.
