Rori Skellenger
2007 Miss Stampede Days Junior Queen

Rori is a 15 year old homeschooled sophomore from Bakersfield,  CA.  She is having a great time promoting the sport of rodeo around California.  Rori loves the impact she is having on young people and especially treasures the day spent at the Kern County Fair visiting with the disabled made possible by the Kern County Sheriff's Mounted Posse.

When not doing parades and rodeos, Rori competes in show jumping on her quarter horse gelding, Pepsi.  She is Bear Valley Springs High Point Jumper of the Year in her first season competing at 2'6" and higher.  She is also very active showing dogs. She has held the titles of CA Jr. Obedience Handler of the Year, CA Jr. Agility Handler of the Year and has been named Best Jr. Handler several times.  She will be competing in  AKC 's Eukanuba Championships this year with her Shetland sheepdog, Molly.  Rori is also very active on her high school Awana quiz team and loves being able to quote God's word!  Her other achievements include being a two-time national champion roller skater, earning the ruby star in 4-H and being a two-time Round Robin Champion at the Kern County Fair. 

When not doing chores on her 5 acres, you'll probably find Rori and Pepsi visiting with children at a nearby park or off  on a trail ride with her identical twin sister, Dakota.

Rori encourages any girl thinking of running for rodeo queen to "go for it!"  She has found it to be an awesome way to develop poise, confidence, and leadership skills.
