Miss California Rodeo Salinas 2025

Miss California Rodeo Salinas 2025 is Rachel Lancaster

With a lifelong love for horses, Rachel Lancaster - Miss Marine Corp. League #014 is actively pursuing a career in the equine industry. She grew up riding English and works professionally in that discipline, recently expanding into ranch reining to diversify her skills. Rachel hosts a hunter and jumper schooling series in California’s Central Valley, aiming to grow the industry and create an accessible and supportive environment for developing horses and riders. She hopes to one day offer similar opportunities within the western riding community and grow her events into nationally accredited shows. Among her accomplishments, Rachel was named the Interscholastic Equestrian Association Zone 10 Reserve Champion High Point Open Rider. This award is the accumulation of points against all the other top riders in Zone 10 which consists of California, Nevada and Hawaii. She is also a three-time recipient of the organization’s sportsmanship award. Rachel is proudest of being selected Miss Clovis Rodeo 2024.

Rachel has attended Clovis Community College and Cal State Fresno. Off the horse, she is an avid collector, analyzer and reader of classic literature. Moving forward she continues to learn from the books she reads, the trainers she rides with, and the horses she sits on.
