Ten-year-old Nevaeh Lebron already knows the grit of early mornings, long rides, and the rush of the arena.
Now, the Camp Verde Elementary School student is taking that experience to a bigger stage with her application for the 2026 Miss Little Buckaroo at the Navajo County Rodeo – a title she hopes to carry with pride as a fourth-generation rancher and rodeo competitor.
“My family and I are beyond excited to announce that I have officially submitted my application for Miss Little Buckaroo 2026 at the Navajo County Rodeo,” she said. “Taking this next step toward a larger stage is truly humbling, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity.”
Lebron, who grew up in Church Rock, New Mexico, near Rio Lobo Canyon, comes from a family deeply tied to ranch life. Her clans are Tsi’naajinii and Naakaii Dine’é, and she is also proud of her Puerto Rican descent. She is the daughter of Jeremy and Amanda Butler.
