The newly crowned Miss Rodeo Canada is Abbey Harty, a first-generation cowgirl from Edam, Sask.
If you attended the Cranbrook Pro Rodeo this past summer, you may have seen Harty. She was interviewed before the Grand Entry, where she explained that she didn’t grow up in a rodeo family.
“Honestly, there’s no connection for me. I’m a first-generation cowgirl and I just started riding when I was about five years old and I never stopped and never looked back,” said Harty.
“I honestly, this has been my dream for a really long time, so to be able to represent something as special as AgriBition and then the whole province of Saskatchewan while I get to rodeo is a really cool experience.”
At the time, Harty was representing Canadian Western Agribition as Miss Rodeo Agribition 2025 during her appearance at the Cranbrook Pro Rodeo in Cranbrook, B.C.
She was crowned Miss Rodeo Canada 2026 during Friday night’s Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR) in Edmonton over the weekend.
According to SaskAg.com, Harty is the third Saskatchewan rodeo queen to earn the national title and the first representative from Agribition to win since the Miss Rodeo Canada program began in 1955.
