A CAPACITY crowd of family and supporters witnessed the crowning of Rodeo Royalty at the Douglas Feez Pavilion on Saturday night.

The Warwick Rodeo ball was another amazing night with 15 young entrants lined up before a panel of judges who were tested to the limit to separate an outstanding array of young talent.

The biggest award was Warwick Rodeo Queen, taken out by 20-year-old Toowoomba horse enthusiast Georgie Stower.

Miss Stower looked sharp in a long red dress with black accessories, as did the four other entrants in their stunning gear.

The whole pavilion was awash with colourful backdrops, prizes, an enthusiastic crowd and excellent food.

Runner-up Warwick Rodeo Queen was cutting and reining horse trainer Sophie Amos from just east of Warwick, who will be a great stand-in for Miss Stower if needed.

The competition in the Warwick Rodeo Princess section was fiercely contested by four lovely young ladies aged between 15 and 17 years. The winner was well-known Warwick equestrian Tracey Madsen.

Three lovely young lasses aged between eight and 13 years stood confidently before the judges in the Junior Cowgirl section, won eventually by Warwick West State School student, Savannah Halley.

Four cute littlies faced the judges in the Miss Tiny Tot section, won by five-year-old Elle Winfield ahead of runner-up, Chelsea Flint.

In the Mister Tiny Tot, two fine young men were judged with seven-year-old Cobey McInnes taking the title ahead of his five-year-old competition, Charlie Bargh.

Warwick Show and Rodeo Society president Dr John Kiss told the assembly the Queen Quest was growing exponentially with quality and quantity making it perhaps the most prestigious Rodeo Queen title in the country.

"With such great prizes which include a trip to the USA to take part in the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo representing Warwick makes this the richest rodeo queen pageant in Australia but above the trophies and the glamour is the exposure we get from having our girl appear at one of the biggest rodeos there," he said.

"The photo I saw of our Rodeo Queen, Erica Geppert, taking part in what they call a fly-by, on the back of a running horse waving to 40,000 people was stunning. Just wonderful."

Pageant co-ordinator Kate Christensen said the presentation evening had been one of the best with outstanding entrants in every category making life very difficult for the judges.

"Not only was it a great night but we had the current Miss Rodeo Australia, Danika Boland, and her predecessor, Mallory Doyle, both here to support our quest," she said.
