queen Hailee Patterson
I am a junior at Imbler High School, and my parents are Ken and Aimee Patterson. My name is Hailee Patterson and I am 16 years old. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. My family has been an integral part of my success. I live on a small farm outside of Imbler where I breed, raise and show my own herd of Suffolk/Hampshire sheep and miniature American Beltie Cattle. I have exhibited livestock at the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show for the past 8 years. I am very dedicated to the many 4-H clubs I am actively involved in, as well as my FFA Chapter. As Imbler FFA Chapter Vice President I am socially outgoing, always ready to mingle and willing to meet new people from fellow chapters or those in my community.
Through the Imbler FFA program, I began my horse training SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience) two years ago. Since then I have improved tremendously as a rider and a leader.
Ever since I was little, I admired the rodeo queens and always singled one out as my role model. I have always aspired to be part of the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show Rodeo Court, and now that dream is finally coming a reality.
Thank you, Hailee Patterson

princess Caitlin Robb
My name is Caitlin Robb. I am 15 years old and a Sophmore at Wallowa High School. My parents are Bill and Sherry Robb. I have been around horses since I was 5 years old starting with English riding lessons. I started 4-H as soon as I could. In 4-H I competed in shows from Wallowa County, to Baker County. I got my horse Zeus, in my first year as an intermediate. I’ve been to state fair two years, with one in which I won a medallion. Being on the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show Rodeo Court would mean a lot to me because I’ve seen my older friends gain experience and make new friends while on the court. When I was really little I wanted to be just like them. I would like little girls to look up to me the same way and become a role model for them.
Thank you, Caitlin Robb

princess Morgan Forney
Hi, my name is Morgan Forney. My parents are Paul Forney of Washington, and my mother is Dana Forney of Joseph, Oregon. I live in Joseph and attend Joseph High School.
I began riding at age of 5 when my parents got me my first horse. I was involved with Milton-Freewater Pioneer Posse, Jr. Wagonettes, parades, 4-H, and currently FFA. My first court experience was in Washington 2012-2013. I enjoyed meeting new people, promoting my town and the equestrian sport and the sport of rodeo. It built my self-confidence even more. I am happy and outgoing. I hold a 4.0 GPA and volunteer for Natural Helpers through Wallowa County Center for Wellness. My school activities include soccer, volleyball, and teacher’s aide the last two years. I would proudly serve The Eastern Oregon Livestock Show.

princess Lauren Makin
My name is Lauren Makin, I am 16 years old and attend Wallowa High School. My parents are Bryan and Kit Makin. I am involved in NHS, Rotary Club, 4-H, Sophomore Class V. President, Student Body Treasurer, and FFA Officer. I also play volleyball and basketball.
I started riding competitively at about age 7 in local horse shows, play days and Jr. Rodeos. I have ridden a number of disciplines from performance to jumping to gaming events to steer daubing, cow hide race and even riding steers. I ride both Western and English.
I hope to be a positive role model and help the upcoming girls develop a strong desire to rodeo. I try to challenge myself and develop skills that I will need as an adult. Being able to represent the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show is important to me for many reasons. It seems the true meaning and tradition of rodeo is slowly becoming less important to not only girls my age, but people in general. I would love the opportunity to represent North East Oregon and share how amazing our corner of the state is.
