Miss Rodeo Cherokee 2012

Jaci Hermstad

Howdy, my name is Jaci Hermstad.

I am the 18 year old daughter of Jeff & Lori Hermstad , and we plant our roots in the small town of Storm Lake Iowa. This fall I will be attending Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids for the Horse Science Technology Program, in hopes of one day opening my own horse therapy ranch.

A few things about myself: I am very strong in my values and my faith is something that is very important to me. Throughout the years I have been involved in my local 4-H clubs where I learned how to show my horses and improve my horsemanship skills. My favorite event in rodeo is barrel racing and I would like to become more involved in the sport as the summer goes on. I enjoy playing basketball, running, and participating in golf during the spring. I love being able to spend time with family, friends and I am active in my church youth group.

“Ride like you've never fallen, jump like you've never had a refusal, And gallop like there's no tomorrow.”
