Florence Junior Parada Rodeo

Junior Parada Royalty

What would a rodeo be without a Rodeo Queen and Rodeo Princess? The Florence Jr. Parada Rodeo is represented throughout the year by two very awesome ambassadors for our rodeo. Below is a little information about them and the Royalty program.

Willow Root is a 15 year old from Queen Creek, Arizona. She is an 8th grader attending Casteel High School.

Seven years later, Willow, has become quite the accomplished rider and all around cowgirl. She team ropes, runs barrels and poles, goat ties and does breakaway roping.
Willow just started competing in 2017 and has an impressive list of wins. In 2017 she won All Around at CVSC for barrels, poles and goat tying. In 2018 she won’t the 9-12 pole bending saddle in AJRA and was top 5 in barrels and ALL Around for the year. Willow also won for an essay that she submitted for a contest for Vet Set Go. The prize was a junior veterinarian program at Auburn University in Alabama. She discovered her love for Falconry while there. She plans to attend college at Auburn in the future.
In 2017Willow was chosen as Nobel Outfitters Child of Tomorrow and as Shoppers Supply as their, first ever, Live It Kid. She was featured on REDTV where she discussed rodeo and horse rescue. Her family rescues horses and ponies.

Hey guys! This is Hailie George your Florence Jr Parada Rodeo Queen! I Absolutely LOVED the QC holiday parade ! So glad I got to ride along side Bella Jenkins and Codi Ross, leading out incoming royalty. I'm happy I got to see my family and friends in town, while I ride my last time with Roots N' Boots. Most importantly, I'm not saying I won't cry when I hand my title down to the incoming Sr Teen Queen and my bestfriend in the whole world, Anna Butlerbecause I will cry.
