Samantha Grace McAllister, known to most as Sammy, has been riding horses before she could walk. Growing up on her family's sprawling ranch in the heart of West Texas, she developed a passion for rodeo that runs as deep as the Texas soil itself. From barrel racing to bull riding, Sammy’s love for the sport was nurtured under the wide, open skies, where she learned not just to ride, but to respect the land and the animals that made her family’s legacy.
At the age of 18, Sammy entered her first local rodeo competition, quickly establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with. Her natural talent, combined with years of training and a determination to represent her roots, led to her being crowned Miss Texas Rodeo Queen 2025. Known for her grace, poise, and unwavering dedication, Sammy is more than just a rodeo queen; she is a symbol of the heart and soul of the American West.
Beyond the rodeo arena, Sammy is a passionate advocate for youth mentorship and rural community development. She works with local 4-H clubs and organizes events that promote agricultural education and the preservation of the Western way of life. When she's not competing or volunteering, you can find Sammy at home, perfecting her cooking skills with a hearty plate of Texas barbecue or spending time with her loyal horses, Smokey and Dusty.
A champion both in and out of the arena, Sammy’s commitment to the rodeo world and her community continues to inspire the next generation of cowboys and cowgirls. Her goal is simple: to keep the spirit of the rodeo alive for years to come, all while being a role model for young women everywhere.
