📣 Lady In Waiting Applications Are Now Closed! 👑🐴

The Eastern Colorado Roundup Royalty Program is excited to invite everyone to attend our Lady In Waiting Competition on July 17th at 9:00 AM!

Our contestants will begin the day competing in horsemanship, including a reining pattern and hot lap. The competition will continue with speeches and private interviews as they showcase the skills, confidence, leadership, and poise that make our royalty program so special.

We encourage the community to come out and support these outstanding young ladies during the horsemanship and speech portions of the competition!

🇺🇸 Riley Carlson will be performing the National Anthem, and our current Eastern Colorado Roundup Royalty will kick off the event by presenting the flags and running a hot lap.

Join us as we celebrate the hard work, dedication, and western heritage that these contestants represent. We can’t wait to see who will earn the title of 2026 Eastern Colorado Roundup Lady In Waiting!

💜 July 17th | 9:00 AM
🤠 Come cheer on our contestants and support the future of Eastern Colorado Roundup Royalty!
