Having shown horses in the American Stock Horse Association, the American Ranch Horse Association, the American Quarter Horse Organization, and the National Reining Horse Association, Wheeler is well-equipped to handle any question thrown her way.

The sport of rodeo across Georgia has seen a huge growth in the past few years, as noted in Wheeler’s coronation ceremony, and opened up many doors for her.
Wheeler will have help along the way with her fellow “Rodeo Royalty,” who were present at her coronation.
Taylor has confidence in Wheeler’s knowledge, though, saying everyone can rest easy as Wheeler knows equine like the back of her hand.
The Miss Rodeo Georgia Association was re-created three years ago by a group of Miss Rodeo alumni said Miss Rodeo Georgia President Emily Taylor.
“We could not figure out why this state did not have a representative since it has such strong agricultural roots,” she said. “There are several rodeos locally, and I think we can all attest that rodeo does run deep in this great state.”
“I’ll get to go to clubs and schools and promote the sport of rodeo and the western way of life,” she said.
After contacting the Miss Rodeo America Foundation, the association was formed and began promoting the Western way of life once again.
Wheeler thanked all the rodeo queens for being there to make the night special, along with the former Miss Rodeo Georgias.
“She did a wonderful job,” Taylor said. “She will not only be the spokesperson for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association of Georgia, but she will also be first and foremost the first lady of rodeo and an ambassador for agriculture.”
Acknowledging the tasks ahead of her, Wheeler accepted her new sash, as Wynn crowned her cowgirl hat.
Wheeler is the ideal candidate to showcase not only the Western way of life but also the skills gained through rodeo and other equestrian-related organizations.
“I’m so excited to travel across the United States, serving as an ambassador for the state of Georgia,” Wheeler said. “It is my passion to educate spectators and fans about the great sport of rodeo and the Western way of life.”
During her reign, Wheeler will be tasked with giving many speeches, something she is now familiar with after competing at Miss Rodeo Georgia. As part of the pageant, Wheeler was asked to give an impromptu speech on a topic chosen by the judges.
Wheeler will now travel across the United States, speaking to young girls about rodeos and equestrian life, while also partaking in local rodeos as a featured guest.
THOMASVILLE- Allie Ann Wheeler stepped into the spotlight and accepted her crown on Saturday night, as she was named Miss Rodeo Georgia 2025.
“It’s now her job to turn every individual she comes in contact with into a life-long rodeo fan, and to educate them,” Taylor explained.

“She is a two-time master 4-H’er, she has won more too many buckles and awards to mention, she is multiple time world champion, a member of the UGA Equestrian team and now she is being crowned Miss Rodeo Georgia,” said Cindy Wynn, Miss Rodeo Georgia 1981. “This year is absolutely going to change your life.”
