Abbey Harty is looking back on her stint as Miss Rodeo Canada and Miss Rodeo Agribition fondly as her time starts to wind down with the crown.
“It’s been a crazy two years, honestly,” smiled Harty. “Going from Miss Rodeo Agribition straight into Miss Rodeo Canada, feels like I haven’t had a break from representing rodeo and representing the western way of life, but it has been such a surreal experience and bringing Miss Rodeo Agribition to the national stage and then winning Miss Rodeo Canada with that title. I keep saying it, but there’s no better feeling than to bring something so special to my heart and to not not only represent Canada, but get to represent Canadian Western Agribition on top of that, is so special.”
This year, Agribition is celebrating its 55th anniversary and current and past Miss Rodeo Agribition contestants will be on hand for a special horsemanship competition.
“We’ll be able to teach young kids and adults just a little bit about horsemanship and what they might see us doing in the arena,” explained Harty.
Thursday night at Agribition, November 26th, a new Miss Rodeo Agribition contestant will be crowned marking the fourth year of the program. Past winners of the crown include Ari Dyck, Abbey Harty, and current title holder Shylah Sitter of Edam, SK. Leading up to the competition, the Crowns and Couture: Luncheon and Fashion show will support the Miss Rodeo Agribition porgram by bringing together women from across rodeo and agriculture sectors for an afternoon of fashion, fellowship, and celebration. The event will be held on November 25th at 11:15am in the AGT Lounge of Mosaic Stadium.
“It’s just so wonderful to see the growth of the program and I’m just really looking forward to working with this next girl as I move into helping coordinate this program and helping elevate their program even more,” Harty Said.
