 On
June 5th 2010 I was honored and excited to be crowned The
Ontario Quarter Horse Association’s 2010 OQHA Queen. In order
to represent the OQHA as queen I completed an oral interview, a
written test of my knowledge of the Ontario Quarter Horse
Association and American Quarter Horse Association Rules and
Regulations, and a horsemanship pattern.
That Saturday
evening many exhibitors from the Area 1 Spring Classic came to
the reception and crowing ceremony where both the 2010 Queen and
Princess were crowned. I would like to congratulate our 2010
OQHA Princess Miss Jackie Heitzner. Jackie was the first
Princess to ever memorize her entire speech! I know she will
make a fantastic Princess and youth role model.
I would
like to thank everyone who helped organize the ceremony and made
it such an enjoyable night for everyone. Special thanks to
Laurie Haughton, Debbie Haughton, Ashley Cook, Dianne Amlin,
Lynn Scott and Jamie Simpson as my interview judges. A very
special thank you to Vonda and Ken O’Donnell for the use of
their phenomenal horse “ BSB Don’t Ask Me” and Vonda for
coaching. I would also like to thank Mom, Dad, Lauren, and Tom
for being so supportive and to Vonda O’Donnell Performance
Horses show team for cheering me on!
This past weekend I
represented the OQHA along with 2009 Congress Queen and OQHA
Queen 2009, Miss Ashley Cook at Toronto Horse Day. It was a fun
filled day with horse enthusiasts of all ages. I will proudly
represent the OQHA at many events this year such as Regional 4
Experience, OQHA Novice Show, Area 1 Sunsational Summer Circuit
Lope for a Cure Celebrity Western Pleasure, Ontario Quarter
Horse Breeders Futurity, and the All American Quarter Horse
Congress.
I have been given many opportunities to
represent Ontario in other events such as the American Quarter
Horse Association’s Youth World Cup held in 2008, Ontario’s 2009
NYATT Team and now the 2010 OQHA Queen. From these past
experiences I have gained skills that will help me compete at
the All American Quarter Congress Queen Contest.
At the
2010 All American Quarter Horse Congress I will represent OQHA
in the All American Quarter Horse Congress Queen Contest in
October. I will be competing against Queen’s from several AQHA
affiliates. Ontario is the only Canadian affiliate sending a
queen; therefore I will be the only Canadian in the contest. I’m
very excited to compete at the All American Quarter Horse
Congress and strive to make Ontario proud.
Being the 2010
OQHA Queen is much more than wearing a sash and crown. It
coincides with many responsibilities such as promoting the OQHA,
the Quarter horse, and being positive role model. My love and
dedication for the American Quarter Horse will push me to me the
best. I’m blessed to own and show two talented Quarter Horses,
Little Scotch Toffee and Timely Selection who show within the
OQHA. The Ontario Quarter Horse Association is a great
association with friendly members who respect and love the
Quarter Horse.
Thank you to OQHA for giving me this
amazing opportunity and I’m looking forward to a great year.
Sincerely,
Lindsay Allen 2010 OQHA Queen |
