Loveland, Colorado cowgirl Lindsey Fancher-Rule grew up living and loving the Western Way of Life on her family’s ranch. With deep roots in rodeo and agriculture, she continues her family’s legacy by raising horses, beef cattle, and bucking bulls. Growing up behind the chutes with her parents and brothers, Lindsey carried sponsorship flags, sang the national anthem, and dreamed of one day wearing the crown of Miss Rodeo Colorado.
That dream came true when she won Miss Rodeo Colorado 2026 at the Greeley Stampede. As the first lady of professional rodeo in Colorado, Lindsey will travel across the Centennial State and beyond, sharing her passion for the Western lifestyle and promoting rodeo as the best sport to unite people from all walks of life. Her mission, "Why We Ride,” encourages everyone to discover their own “why” and to be a part of why we ride in rodeo.
A graduate of Westmont College with a B.A. in Communication Studies, Lindsey is passionate about using her voice to uplift others and advocate for agriculture. With plans to attend law school, she hopes to represent Colorado’s agricultural community through a career in water law and policy, ensuring a strong future for the next generation of farmers and ranchers.
Proud to represent her home state during its 150th year, Lindsey is deeply grateful to her family, sponsors, and the rodeo community who have supported her journey every step of the way.
