2008 Queen
Alyssa Adams
 |
Alyssa Adams of
Eagle Idaho. This will be her 8th season
riding with the club. She has loved horses
since she was very small and dreamed of owning her
own horse one day. Her first year in the club,
she leases a veteran EhCapa mare named "Sissy".
Alyssa took riding lessons and practiced every week
with Sissy and earned a spot on the performance team
by August. Sadly. Sissy died that fall.
Determined to keep going, she
and her mom looked for a horse that winter.
With the help and support from an EhCapa alum,
Alyssa was able to get Rusty Tari, a three year old
bay Quarter horse gelding. He was about as
"green" as she was. The next 2-3 years were an
uphill road for both of them, especially getting
that right lead, but all those hours of practicing
and training paid off. Alyssa won the title of
Junior Princess in 2004, and made the jump, cross
jump, and high jump team that year. It means a
lot to her that she trained Rusty herself.
They grew together in skills and confidence with the
help and support of several EhCapa people along the
way. Rusty will be ten this year.
Alyssa enjoys doing her own
costume beadwork, skiing, camping, and traveling.
Her favorite part about EhCapa practices is posting
and helping younger riders. She will always
love EhCapa for the opportunities it provided and
the great people involved. |

2008 Jr. Princess
Dani Peterson
 |
| My name is Dani Peterson and I'm 14
years old and live in Nampa, Idaho. I'm in the 9th
grade and I attend Vallivue High School. My
favorite class is Equine Science and I also enjoy Choir.
When I graduate I plan on attending the Equine Dentistry
School in Glen's Ferry and then attending college to
become a Large Animal Veterinarian. I also am
involved in Reining and belong with the Gem State Stock
Horse Association. |
| This will be my 6th year in Eh Capa and
I ride a 9 year old Quarter/Paint gelding named
"Boomer". Boomer is my Best Friend and has taken me
where I am today in Eh Capa. Not only has he mastered
bareback riding, liberty, and jumping.....but I also use
him for reining and cutting cows. He is what you could
call an "All Around Horse". Boomer has done everything
that I have asked of him and he tries so hard to please
me. If anyone in the world has made an impact in my
life I would have to say that would be my Best Friend
Boomer! |
The best thing about Eh Capa is the traveling and
having several people that you call Mom & Dad. Eh Capa
is about families and lifetime friends. Its about
dedication and commitment. It's all about Team Work and
compromise. There is no better feeling than to leave
a performance and have the audience say....You all did
such a great job! The most important thing is that I
hope I can help all the other kids in Eh Capa to
accomplish their goals as I have done so far.

2008 Mini Princess
MaKenna Little
 |
Hi, my name is
MaKenna Little. I am 11 years old. This
is my third year in EhCapa. I ride a 15 years
old palomino Quarter horse mare named Jasmine.
I am a fifth grader at Fruitland Intermediate School
in Fruitland, Idaho.
When I grow up I want to pursue my career as a
veterinarian. I have a real love for animals
and taking care of any animal.
Outside of Ehcapa my hobbies
include snowboarding, wakeboarding, playing
basketball, doing 4-H, and competing in reining
competitions. One of my favorite things about
EhCapa is meeting new friends and spending time with
my extended family of EhCapa. I am looking
forward to representing this great club as your 2008
Mini Princess. |
A Special thanks to Linda Windell
for allowing us to use her beautiful
