I am so honored to say that I am the 2026 Miss Redding Rodeo Queen! Now it’s time for you to get to know me a little better!
My name is Kiana Kinnie, and I was born and raised right here in Redding, California. I’ve been riding horses for six years and have held three titles: Jr. Miss CSHA, Senior Miss CSHA, and 2024 Miss Cottonwood Rodeo Queen.
If you know me, then you know my horse, Tango — a black and white paint with stunning blue eyes. He means the absolute world to me, and I truly don’t know what I’d do without him!
I just graduated high school and have started classes at Shasta College to become a dental assistant. In my free time, I’ve launched my own photography business, which I’ve been running for a year now!
My goals for this year are to do my very best to introduce more people to the rodeo world — whether it’s their first time or their hundredth — and to help others truly understand what rodeo means and the lifestyle that comes with it.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. No matter how big or small the gesture, I remember it and appreciate it more than you know.
I hope you’ll follow along with my journey this year as Miss Redding Rodeo 2026!
