As a proud Colorado cowgirl and fifth generation horse woman, Audra began riding as soon as she could sit on a horse. She grew up competing in 4-H, horse shows and rodeos. This gave Audra her passionate appreciation and love for the greatest sport on earth - rodeo! As Colorado’s first lady of rodeo, Audra will devote this year to promoting and educating others about Colorado and the rich western heritage. 

Her hobbies include pleasure riding, barrel racing, dancing, target shooting, traveling, reading, snowmobiling, boating and teaching children.  

In December of 2009, she’ll join the nation’s best cowboys and cowgirls in Las Vegas, Nevada for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, where she’ll proudly represent Colorado in the Miss Rodeo America Pageant.
