Hello! My name is Molly Stinson and I am the 2009
Interstate Queen. I am the 18 year old daughter of Tim and
Nancy Stinson. I am currently a student at the University of
Idaho in Moscow, Idaho where I am study Business
Marketing and a proud sorority sister of Alpha Phi. This year
I will be competing on the college rodeo, something I’ve
dreamed of my entire life! In my free time I enjoy hanging
out with my friends, reading a good book, making smores by
the campfire, and riding my horses!
Over the course of this next year I will have the pleasure of
riding two spectacular horses. First, is the horse I was
crowned queen on, Flo. Flo is a dear friend’s horse, Betty
Holmlund. Betty is such incredible women whom I’m forever
grateful to of met and remain friends with for a long time to
come. I will also be riding my new horse this year, Italy. Italy
is a beautiful 6 year old quarter horse that I have slowly
begun on the barrel pattern and I am looking forward to
introducing her to the world of Interstate this year.
As my new reign as queen begins I am so excited for what
the future holds. I hope to be a positive role model for
younger members, accomplish new ideas given and shared,
and spread the word of Interstate to the public. Thinking
back on my experience as princess I remember meeting
plenty of new faces, gaining many new friends, and enjoying
every minute of it; I can only hope that my time as queen will
be just as rewarding.
Thank you to all of the Interstate members for your
outstanding support and everlasting memories. I’m looking
forward to yet another outstanding year of hard work,
dedication, memories, and competition.

Hail to our new Queen Molly Stinson!

Hello and welcome to all. I’m your 2010 Interstate Princess Jordan Duty.
It is a great privilege and I am very excited to be representing both Western
Horsemen of Oregon and the Interstate Games this year. I am the 15 year
old daughter of Shelley and Grayson Hart. Although my family and I have
just begun competing in W.H.O., we have always had a love for horses.
I am a freshman at Molalla High School, in Molalla Oregon where I
participate in FFA, the Horse Judging Team, OHSET, and track. I am very
excited to compete in all of these this year. Out side of school and horses, I
like to hang out with my friends, go camping, ride dirt bikes and be with my
family. After I graduate in 2013, my goal is to attend Oregon State University
to become a large and small animal veterinarian.
Currently I live in Molalla with my parents and my two brothers Chris and
Grayson. Every since I was a little girl I have always dreamed of living on a
farm and having horses and a barn of my own. My wish came true! My first
horse’s name was Skye, and unfortunately we had to sell her. We are now
proud owners of 3 horses, Tak, Hemi and Cody. This year I am thrilled to
compete on my newest horse Cody.
I am happy to be your Interstate Princess and I am looking forward to
meeting all of you and looking for your support on my journey to becoming
your 2010 Interstate Queen; so if and when I come walking up to you with a
book in my hand and a smile on my face, please don’t turn and run the other
way. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Good luck, have fun, ride hard, and be safe to everyone this year!
Princess Jordan Duty

Hello All! My name is Ady Shea Crosby, and I am very excited to be representing this fabulous sport through running for
Interstate Queen! I am going to put my heart and soul into this competition and do my best to positively advertise this
sport that we all love so much. I have been riding literally since I was born when my mom, Pam Crosby, would strap me
to her back and take me for a ride. However, I have been involved in PSHA for 8 years now, and I have loved every
second of it. The rush, the excitement, the good company, and the support we all have for once another. I am proud to
say that I am involved with the gaming genre of horsemanship!
This year I will be turning 20, and finishing up my sophomore year at Western Washington University. As of now, I am
planning on double majoring in Sociology and Archeological Anthropology with a minor in women’s studies. I plan on
studying abroad in South Africa sometime next year, hopefully getting involved with real archeological digs and volunteer
work in either orphanages or wildlife conservation. If all goes well I will graduate in 2012 or 2013.
Unfortunately, I lost my horse Sonny in February 2009 due to colic, so I have been leasing different horses the past two
years. This year I will be riding Lacy, my 17 year old palomino mare. Other then PSHA, I have been involved in O Mok
See’s, 4H, WAHSET, and this year I hope to branch out to even more gaming circuits and recruit others to come see
what we do. When I am not riding, going to school, studying, or working my part time job, I like to read, crochet, dance,
sing, hike, be around friends, and laugh. I am a very happy enthusiastic person, and I honestly am so thrilled to have the
honor of representing and uniting both great states of Oregon and Washington.
I really do appreciate all of your support and help as I try my hardest to make this year the best yet. I hope I do you all
proud on my quest for Interstate Queen! Good luck, ride tough, have fun, support one another, and do your best!
Love,
Princess Ady Crosby!
