Lauren McKenzie was crowned 2018 Warwick Rodeo Queen on Saturday evening at the Douglas Feez Pavilion at the Warwick Showgrounds.
Lauren also took out 2018 Horsemanship after demonstrating her skills earlier in the day on her pony ‘Boone’ on the Showgrounds arena, still very wet after several days of rain.
Lauren is joined by 2018 Warwick Rodeo Princess Tyler Aspinall, who also won Horsemanship in that category.
Warwick Rodeo Queen runner up was Nicole Evans and Princess runner up was Savannah Halley.
Lauren McKenzie takes over the Warwick Rodeo Queen title from 2017 Queen Meg Stewart.
Lauren also won 2018 Overall Fundraiser.
