2023 Miss Rodeo Arkansas Princess

Mattie Swint

     Mattie was crowned Miss Rodeo Arkansas Princess 2023 on Sunday, May 27, 2022 in Fort Smith at Kay Rodgers Park.

Mattie isn't only a cowgirl but she's a "cow" girl with a plan of action to put girls at the heart of agriculture. Although her clothes might not change the world, she sure will!

Mattie Swint is the 7 year old daughter of Patrick and Monica Swint and Jill and Dustin Swan. She is a 1st grader at White County Central Elementary in Judsonia.

ln her spare time you can count on finding Mattie on the back of her horse, leading her show heifer Buckle Bunny, or pestering her older brother Ely.

When Mattie grows up she wants to be a nurse just like her mom. If that doesn't work she can always become the world's next YouTube and TikTok star! Mattie spends tons of hours making videos of her every day chores or educational horse riding videos! Her favorite sentence to date is "Hello guys and welcome back to my channel."

Mattie's platform is to bring awareness to the hunger and basic necessity needs for the State of Arkansas. As the 2023 Miss Rodeo Arkansas Princess she plans to utilize her platform to raise money or create a donation drive for her service project "Friday Backpacks".
