MISS SAN BENITO RODEO
Brittany Moore, 2022 Miss San Benito Rodeo Queen
Aside from the sport of rodeo, I am an active member of some
clubs at the California Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo.
The Cal Poly Vet Science Club and I volunteer at the swine
enterprise unit on campus. I am also a co-chair of the apparel
team for Cal Poly Rodeo, where we design and market the apparel
for the team.
I began riding horses when I was in elementary school with close
family friends, which was when I fell in love with being on and
around horses. I started entering the Saddle Horse Show & Rodeo
when I was a young girl, running barrels, keyhole and
participating in the ribbon roping once I was old enough. The San
Benito County Saddle Horse Show & Rodeo is one of my favorite
rodeos to attend each summer. I was a member of the CHSRA
District 4 Rodeo Team through middle school and high school.
Currently I am a member of the Cal Poly Rodeo Team, California
Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association and the West Coast
Barrel Racing Association.
Emery Pura, 2022 Miss San Benito Rodeo Queen First Runner-Up
Some of my special interests include volleyball, swim team, FFA,
class office, volunteer work, hanging out with my family, spending
time with my friends, going skiing, and school work. I also enjoy
going to the beach, spending time at the lake, traveling, and doing
internships/jobs over the summer.
I am currently on the District 4 rodeo team and my events are
Reined Cow Horse and cutting. I also participate in the National
Reined Cow Horse Association and have been for around eight
years. My favorite rodeo is the San Benito County Saddle Horse
Show which I have been a contestant in for 11 years. I missed my
first show ever last year because I had COVID. I also enjoy
watching the NFR.
Grace Skow, 2022 Miss San Benito Rodeo Queen Second Runner-Up
Outside of rodeos, ropings, and brandings, I play basketball, show
livestock, and hunt. I have played basketball since 6th grade at
Spring Grove School and now play varsity Basketball for the
highschool. I have always been surrounded by livestock so in 5th
grade when given the option, I started showing lambs. Lastly,
every winter my grandpa and I hunt pheasant and chukar. All
three definitely find a spot as my favorite hobbies.
Growing up, I was surrounded by cattle operations. Brandings
here, stockers there, shipping every summer, and of course, I
always wanted to be horse-back. The San Benito County Rodeo is
quite the tradition that my whole family and I have participated in
for years. I even won my first belt buckle, from the boot race
there. Now, I am dedicated to ACTRA team ropings as a heeler,
WCJRA rodeos, and every so often helping my family get the calves
branded!
