Emma Lamberson
2026 Little Miss NWMT Rodeo Royalty Contestant

Emma is 9 years old and was born and raised in Columbia Falls, Montana. An only child and homeschooled, she loves spending time with her family, caring for animals, and hanging out with her friends. She shows great responsibility by taking care of two ponies, five cats, two dogs, and forty chickens.

Her ponies, Taffy and Little Debbie, each have their own personalities. Little Debbie is still a bit wild and learning, and Emma has been working hard on her groundwork so she’ll be ready to ride someday soon. Taffy is very sweet, though a little stubborn, and prefers to do things at her own pace.

Emma’s biggest goal right now is to become Little Miss Rodeo. When she’s older, she hopes to race barrels and continue learning everything she can about horses. She also dreams of visiting Cross Timber Bison in Oklahoma because she thinks bison are incredibly cool. She is grateful for everyone who has encouraged her and is excited to be part of this pageant.

Emily Tuck
2026 Miss Teen NWMT Rodeo Royalty Contestant

Emily Tuck was born with boots on, carrying three generations of grace and grit from her family’s Kalispell farm. A true cowgirl, she hopes to grow from working cows on the farm to raising her own rough stock — and maybe even trying her hand at riding a few herself. When she isn’t riding her chestnut quarter horse, Leo, she can be found driving tractors or fixing fences. In her quiet moments, Emily enjoys sitting behind an easel and appreciating the natural beauty of the western world.
