Hi, I am Talyn Sandifer the 2023-2024 Washington State High School Rodeo Queen! A little about me, I have been rodeoing since I was 3. I got a late start on roping, I started to rope in 2020. Breakaway is my favorite event! You’ll see me roping on my awesome little bay horse through out this year. A little about him, Hotshot is a 2008 gelding that will do anything you ask him to do. He has does Barrels, Poles, Head, Heel, Breakaway, Goat Tie, Steer Stop, and he’s been ranched on. He has quite the resume on him along having a little tikes car on him with someone (JayCee Goodwin) in the car. If you ask me he’s one of the best horses in the association and if you ask him he’s the one that should be our associations queen. You’ll find us competing in the Breakaway and Team Roping this year!  Now back to me, I am a senior at Kiona-Benton High School and sophomore at Columbia Basin College. I am so excited to be your queen this year.  please come to me with any questions comments or concerns and I will be happy to help! You can find me around our high school rodeos with my 4-legged best friend Dazi!

If you’d like information about becoming our next queen, please contact: Crysti Gray, WSHSRA Queen Advisor, at 509-869-4681 or email her at hoofprintschick@gmail.com
The queen pageant is held during our state finals rodeo on Memorial Day weekend.
