Olivia Favero was crowned @missrodeoamericaofficial 2026 on Sunday, December 7, at the South Point Hotel and Casino. The 22-year-old Taylor, Utah native represented her home state at the Miss Rodeo America Pageant as the 2025 Miss Rodeo Utah, becoming the 7th woman from her state to win the prestigious national title.

A dedicated horsewoman and a rising leader in the equine industry, Olivia embodies the spirit, grace and grit of rodeo. She is a graduate of Weber State University with two associate degrees and is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication with an emphasis in Public Relations and Advertising. Alongside her studies, she worked at her local farm store and as a cosmetologist, allowing her to build meaningful connections with customers, clients and her community. Olivia enjoys riding dirt bikes on mountain trails, training horses, and helping on her family’s farm. Her deep love for agriculture, horsemanship, and the Western way of life fuels her commitment to preserving and promoting the traditions she holds dear.

In addition to capturing the Miss Rodeo America crown, Olivia earned the Appearance Award and the Desiree Larson Memorial Achievement Award. Along with her new title, she receives more than $20,000 in educational scholarships and prizes, the opportunity to ride AQHA horses, the honor or wearing the iconic Landstrom’s Black Hills Gold crown, a wardrobe from Wrangler, Montana Silversmiths jewelry, select Justin Boots and Resistol hats, and additional gifts from other generous sponsors.

As Miss Rodeo America 2026, Olivia will serve as the official representative of the PRCA. During her reign she will travel over 40,000 miles and appear at more than 100 rodeo performances, as well as attend various schools, civic groups, and special events across the nation. Her mission is to educate the public about rodeo, its sponsors, and its abundant opportunities that exist within the Western industry. by @ecfairandrodeo

What an unforgettable way to close out the Eagle County Fair & Rodeo! 🇺🇸

Photographing the final night of the rodeo, especially on Patriotic Night, was incredibly meaningful. It has been a true honor to serve as the official photographer for the fifth consecutive year at an event that has become such a special and important part of my career.

Since the first Eagle County Fair in 1939, this event has brought the community together through competition, tradition and camaraderie. That spirit remains alive today, making this rodeo so remarkable.

My sincere gratitude to everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes and in the arena to make the Eagle County Fair & Rodeo possible. Thank you to the organizers, committee members, staff, volunteers, sponsors, contestants, fans and the entire Eagle community for trusting me to document these unforgettable moments.

I’m truly grateful to be part of this tradition. Until next year, Eagle!

👑Special guest alert!! We’re so excited to welcome @missrodeocolorado Lindsey Fancher-Rule tonight!

Loveland, Colorado cowgirl Lindsey Fancher-Rule grew up living and loving the Western way of life on her family’s ranch. With deep roots in rodeo and agriculture, she continues her family’s legacy by raising horses, beef cattle, and bucking bulls. Growing up behind the chutes with her parents and brothers, Lindsey carried sponsorship flags, sang the national anthem, and dreamed of one day wearing the crown of Miss Rodeo Colorado.
That dream came true when she won Miss Rodeo Colorado 2026 at the Greeley Stampede. As the first lady of professional rodeo in Colorado, Lindsey will travel across the Centennial State and beyond, sharing her passion for the Western lifestyle and promoting rodeo as the best sport to unite people from all walks of life. Her platform, “Why We Ride,” encourages everyone to discover their own “why” and to be part of why we ride in rodeo.
A graduate of Westmont College with a B.A. in Communication Studies, Lindsey is passionate about using her voice to uplift others and advocate for agriculture. With plans to attend law school, she hopes to represent Colorado’s agricultural community through a career in water law and policy, ensuring a strong future for the next generation of farmers and ranchers.
Proud to represent her home state during its 150th year, Lindsey is deeply grateful to her family, sponsors, and the rodeo community who have supported her journey every step of the way. by @ecfairandrodeo
