Payson Louise King is a 12-year-old, 6th grader from Rydal, GA. She comes from a rodeo family and is a 3rd generation cowgirl. Her parents are Paula Buchanan King and Jason King. Payson has been attending rodeos since she was only three weeks old. She started out competing in junior rodeos at the age of 3 on her pony Skittles. She loved going to the “big rodeos” and running barrels and riding in the grand entry so she could wave at the crowd. Now Payson continues to junior rodeo and runs barrels and breakaway ropes at amateur rodeos all over the southeast. She also enjoys presenting the American Flag during the opening ceremonies and running sponsor flags during the rodeo. Payson loves rodeos and loves being a part of every aspect of it, from helping load the stock heading to the rodeos or helping get all the paperwork in order to compete herself, or just spending time with the spectators and telling them all about the rodeos and the work it takes to make it happen. She loves sharing her sport with those she meets and letting them know why she loves it so much. Payson is looking forward to her reign as Miss Rodeo Georgia Princess and spreading her love for her Western heritage with even more people, with opportunities that her title will bring. When you have a goal know that the only way you fail is when you stop pursuing it, so never let your dreams die keep chasing them until you can’t!

Meet Paisley Parette, Miss Rodeo Georgia Sweetheart 2025. 7-year-old Paisley is bringing her dreams to life, one barrel race at a time. She is the daughter of Clay and Tori Parette, is a first grader at Mulberry Creek in Harris County, Georgia, and a true rodeo sweetheart who’s been stealing the show from her hometown arenas to the heart of every crowd she meets.

A proud member of the National Barrel Horse Association(NBHA) and Harris County’s Cowpunchers Jr. Rodeo, she’s a fierce competitor in barrel racing, pole bending, and arena races. Off the arena, she’s got a special role at home, too: helping her mom and dad train mustangs and get them ready for kids to ride. She’s learning about rodeo life and teaching mustangs what it takes to be gentle, kind, and safe. When Paisley dreams big, she sees herself working at Mason Tractor in Waverly Hall, Georgia, as a horse trainer, and someday even Miss Rodeo Georgia. For now, though, she’s just happy riding her heart out, making friends, and spending every chance she can with her little sister, Allie-Mae. If you ask Paisley what she loves most, the rodeo, her family, and the horses help her reach the stars
