Over the last few weeks, I have been very busy traveling to multiple association year-end banquets. It was wonderful to reconnect with everyone, out of show clothes, and celebrate all their accomplishments in 2024! I also had the honor of crowning multiple 2025 association queens!
I attended the Pennsylvania, Tri-State, and Ohio Quarter Horse banquets. At each, I attended their general membership meeting where I got to thank all who supported me in my efforts to crown. It is amazing how caring the Quarter Horse community is! I felt so much love and happiness getting to be with people who enjoy the beauty that is the Quarter Horse as much as I do. From crowning new queens, announcing awards, and celebratory dancing each banquet was so much fun!
Welcome to the sisterhood to the following queens I had the honor of crowning!
Pennsylvania – Marisa Lynch
Keystone – Samantha Harvey
Tri-State – Riley Miller
Ohio – Morgan Adkins
Northern Ohio – Addison Schliesser
Many other association queens were crowned or will be crowned that I cannot wait to see throughout the year!
A special moment at each of the banquets was getting to take pictures with former Congress Queens posing with our gorgeous Congress Queen Ring sponsored by Fritz Leeman in honor of Carol Leeman. Throughout my years as an association queen, I’ve made many new friends in the sash sisterhood, but the Congress Queen sisterhood is extra special.
2022 – Kylie Good
2019 – Mariah Sherer
2007 – Shelly Boyle
What’s next for the 2024 All-American Quarter Horse Congress Queen? The Pennsylvania Horse World Expo and the Virginia Maiden! There are so many pictures from the banquets I hope you enjoy all seen below! Much Love, Madison
