JACI ETZKORN FROM CHEYENNE RIVER
CROWNED MISS INDIAN RODEO
Jaci Etzkorn from
Dupree, South Dakota was crowned Miss Indian Rodeo
on October 22, 2005, in San Carlos, Arizona. Jaci
ran against two other young Indian Women, all three
were tuff competitors. The
first day of the judging, October 19th, was the
Traditional Indian outfits and presentations. That
evening during the reception for the cowboys and
cowgirls, the queen contestants had to introduce
themselves and explain why they wanted to be Miss
Indian Rodeo. The
Pageant also had horsemanship competition. Miss
Misty Tastsey from Blackfeet Indian Reservation,
Browning, Montana received the Horsemanship Award. Jaci
Etzkorn, received Miss Congeniality and Miss Marcee
George, from White River Arizona was a great competitor.
Jaci Etzkorn comes
from a long line of rodeo family. Jaci ranches
with her father
in the summer time and lives with her mother on her
ranch the rest of the year. Jaci is a first
year student at Minnesota State University, Moorhead,
Minnesota.
Jaci started riding
horses at the age of (3) and competing at (5) years
old. Her
first barrel horse came from her mother and she
has been hooked every since. She gives credit
to her grandfather Jess Knight, for giving
her first horse to break and train. To this
day she still uses her horse crawford. Her
father is also a great insipration to her. Jaci's
family is very supportive to her in her endeavors. We
wish her luck during her reign as Miss Indian Rodeo.
