The Academy

Project Pageantry Academy is built for the girl who works hard, lives far, can't always be in the right room at the right time, or is simply eager to soak up all of the rodeo queen knowledge she can get her hands on.

What you'll learn:

Topics will go far beyond public speaking, with every session building a more complete competitor, including:

  • All aspects of rodeo events and rules, from people who actually do it

  • How to make your rodeo, club, or association proud when you speak with the media

  • How to take great photos — for photogenics or social media

  • Horsemanship skills for every level of competition

  • Animal science and veterinarian knowledge galore

  • And more…

Who you'll learn from

Every call features guests who are experts — as professionals and hobbyists — not just coaches who talk about it, including:

  • Veterinarians

  • Rodeo athletes

  • Past and current queens whom you aspire to be like

  • Media personnel

  • And more…
