2025 Miss Reno Rodeo

MCKINNA JACKSON

McKinna Jackson is a 23-year-old native Nevadan. McKinna was raised in Gardnerville, NV, where she graduated from Douglas High School. Following graduation, she then went on to earn her certificate from Texas Horseshoeing School, located in Scurry, TX. After refining her farrier skills, McKinna realized that home truly means Nevada and returned to Gardnerville. At only 19, alongside her mother and biggest supporter, Kim, McKinna launched a new business, the Mad Dog Cafe.

In addition to her enthusiasm for outdoor activities, McKinna is passionate about being involved in her community. She contributes her time on the Board of Directors for the Carson Valley Roping Club as the Vice President and she is able to pour into her passion for team roping. Outside of the saddle, McKinna enjoys volunteering with her local Fire Department and to her favorite philanthropy, Between Horses and Humans; a local non-profit program dedicated to supporting youth in developing life skills through horsemanship.

Prior to becoming Miss Reno Rodeo 2025, McKinna was honored to be a six-year member of the Reno Rodeo Flag Team and had the prestigious honor of carrying the American Flag for all ten nights of the 2021 Reno Rodeo.

McKinna is honored and proud to be Miss Reno Rodeo 2025. She hopes to share her genuine passion for rodeo, agriculture, and the western way of life representing the Wildest Richest Rodeo in the West. McKinna has been fortunate to experience the family and support that the sport of rodeo offers and she hopes to share those qualities with the future generations of rodeo fans!
