JUNIOR DIRECTOR, JADE BALLSTAEDT UPCOMING SHOWS
OREGON
We’ve been seeing some killer fast times coming out of recent shows, and lots of folks are
getting those baby horses broke and patterned. Best of all, it’s been wonderful reconnecting
with friends we haven’t seen at shows in a while. So many great reasons to come out and join
us! Oregon has their very own Interstate Princess! Please help us congratulate Princess
Cheyenne . She’ll be doing many things this year to promote and fund Interstate, so be sure
to support her when you see her.
It looks like we’ll be running another Summer High Point Series! Mark your calendars:
• President Show — June 20–21 at Legacy S
• Jr Show — June 27–28 at Horse Haven (NOT Fourth of July weekend)
• Summer Show — July 25–26 at Horse Haven
We can’t wait to see everyone there! Our Beat WA Show will be August 15 & 16 @ Legacy S.
Jake has some great new ideas for a fantastic show. Can't wait to see you all at a show!

Hi, my name is Karlee Thompson,
I am a junior at Arlington High School. I am involved in
WAHSET and high school rodeo. My favorite events are
barrels and poles, but I love competing with my horse, Spike,
in all the gaming show opportunities.
I am so excited for the opportunity to run for Interstate Queen!
If you have any questions or would like to sponsor me, please
feel free to reach out.
Thank you, PSHA Princess Karlee
