Evergreen Rodeo

The Evergreen Rodeo Royalty consists of our Queen, Princess and Jr. Princess. They are our official ambassadors for the Evergreen Rodeo Association. They recognize the importance of educating, promoting and preserving our Rodeo and the western heritage. The Evergreen Rodeo Royalty represents our community with the highest level of integrity and professionalism.

This Royalty Program runs from June through the following June, starting with our own parade and PRCA Rodeo Father’s Day Weekend. During their reign, the ladies attend various functions and activities throughout the state of Colorado. They volunteer hundreds of hours to help promote our community and rodeos, including the National Western Stock Show.

Contestants compete during the month before the rodeo and are crowned during the rodeo performance on Father’s Day.

Amanda Cook

Hello everyone! My Name is Amanda Cook and I am your Miss Evergreen Rodeo Queen 2025! I am so honored to be representing the beautiful community of Evergreen Colorado and my home town!

I am 24 years old and was born and raised in Evergreen under the roof of my amazing parents Shane and Theresa Cook along side my 6 other siblings! I have been riding horses since I was 6 months old and made that love grow by

competing for Evergreen Rodeo JR princess in 2011, and after finishing my reign as junior princess I joined the Westernaires at the age of 11 with my entire family. We performed all over traveling with the Westernaires not only in state but out of state as well. I graduated Westernaires at the age of 19 off of Varsity Big Red at the National Western Stock Show as well as 6 other Varsity level performance teams including trick and fancy riding.

I am currently studying Veterinary medicine as well as equine since I plan to continue to grow my love and knowledge for animals by furthering my career as a Veterinary Assistant and one day become a certified Veterinary Technician. When I’m not working or furthering my education you can find me hunting or fishing with my family and friends now under the guidance of my big ol’ German Shepard Max, who watches over me and his big horse friends from up above….

Growing up I can always remember my favorite part of the summer being the Evergreen rodeo and parade. I can’t

remember a year not attending and watching the royalty ride through the arena presenting the rodeo with such grace, beauty and honor. I can always remember telling my parents that would be me one day with a horse of my own. I can not remember a time that my family didn’t own horses, from my first ride up to this very day I can tell you every lesson that my horses had taught me not only about riding but about how to take the fall…. My horses have taught me more life lessons than anything else in my life ever could. Now that my families first horses Copper and Trooper are watching over me from up above, guiding me through the training of my horses, I am very proud to say that I am fulfilling my dream as Miss Evergreen Rodeo with my trusty steads Stinker And Magic.

As I place this crown on my hat and sash on my shoulder I look forward to continue traveling all over Colorado, making great memories with my Princess Josie, furthering our education as well as educating fans not only about the great sport we call rodeo but also about the western way of life.

I am honored to be your 2025 Miss Evergreen Rodeo Queen, See y’all father’s day weekend in Evergreen!

Josie Sandifer

Hey there everyone! My name is Josie Sandifer, and I am your 2025 Evergreen Rodeo Princess . I am so grateful that I get to represent not just The Evergreen Rodeo, but my hometown as well. This will be my third year as an Evergreen Rodeo royalty title holder, and it is such an honor for me to be able to do so.

I am 16 years young and I am the fourth generation to proudly call Greystone Ranch my home. This is where my love for horses came to life. When I first started riding horses, I was only a year and a half old now I have an outstanding 20-yearold quarter horse/palomino named Smokey. He enjoys playing in lakes and taking care of queens in and out of the arena! I am a sister, a daughter, and a granddaughter!

I am attending the local high school for my sophomore year and in my free time I enjoy going on trail rides, snowmobiling, hunting, and going to rodeos! For 5 years I played volleyball but with co-vid I kind of got out of it and started in the great world of rodeo. this has been more then a dream come true for me and I can not
wait to see what all this program has in store for me for my 2024/2025 year!

My family and I have been going to the Evergreen rodeo and parade every year since I war born. Being able to grow up in that kind of atmosphere has helped shape me into the person I am today and I will forever be grateful for the gifts this program and rodeo has gifted me!

I can’t wait to learn more and be able to give people the knowledge about one of the toughest sports out there and learn new things every day!

Come on out to the Evergreen Rodeo Father’s day weekend to celebrate the beautiful Western tradition of rodeo!

Thank you to our generous sponsors for their continued support of the Evergreen Rodeo Royalty!
