On June 12th I was asked to help judge the Idaho High School Rodeo Association (IHSRA) Queen Contest. I was very impressed with all of their hard work, natural talent, and pleased to know they all wanted to be a part of representing such a GREAT sport!
Horsemanship followed that Wednesday, with each of the girls showing their ability to handle a horse in a set pattern, a flag run, and best of all, their "Buzz" ride! What a sight! All the girls did VERY well in this event.
Coronation and the IHSRA Finals were held the following Saturday. Each District was announced with a short grand entry in front of the stands, and Claira Hollingsworth was crowned IHSRA Queen. Shania Laird won 1st runner up- and had the opprotunity to compete for Silver State in Fallon, Nevada (As a freshman- she did VERY well, and I look forward to watching her compete in the future). Congratulations to all contestants and their families for a job well done!!
