2024 Interstate Queen
Emma Albright
My name is Emma Albright, I am the 22 year old daughter of Brian and Anna Albright. I was born and raised in Sequim washington. Where I attended and graduated from Sequim High School, and I am currently attending Peninsula College where I will graduate in the spring of 2025 with my Associates degree in nursing. I began riding with the Pattern Speed Horse Association when I was 8 years old at my local PSHA club, Agnew riders. Within the association I have been shown so much kindness, love and support from so many wonderful people. Becoming Interstate Queen gives me the opportunity to give back to all of these fantastic people that have given so much to me. I would like to thank everyone for all of your kindness, patients and most of all your friendship throughout my journey running for interstate queen. I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. I want to reach out to both organizations that make Interstate possible, Pattern Speed Horse Association and Western Horseman of Oregon. I am beyond thankful for everyone on the Interstate committee that has helped me throughout this journey. Lastly I have learned and grown so much throughout this quest and want to thank everyone who has supported me along the way. I would like to give a big shout out to all the businesses, fellow members, riders, and families who have supported Interstate we couldn't have done without YOU!
2025 Interstate Princess
Maddy Olson
Hello, my name is Maddy Olson and I started riding in PSHA when I was 14 years old with my club, NVR (Nooksack Valley Riders). I have enjoyed my time in PSHA and NVR and have accomplished so much with my horses. I have built countless friendships, mentorships, and lifelong connections which I will forever cherish. I am so excited to be running for Interstate Queen this year to give back to the amazing associations. I currently live in Whatcom County where I am attending Bellingham Technical College obtaining my degree in Surgical Technology. I also currently work as a volunteer Firefighter and EMT at my local fire department. This year, I look forward to traveling around to more shows, meeting more people within the associations, and learning all about what goes into making our favorite weekend of the year happen.

Thank you,
Princess Maddy
Hey y'all my name is Kaydn Collins, I am the 19-year-old daughter of Gregg and Kati Collins. I am attending Skagit Valley College studing to receive my Associates Degree. I live in Mount Vernon and I am a member of the Nooksack Valley Riders Club and have been for 3 years now. Joining PSHA has been such a wonderful experience because not only have I met some of the most amazing and knowledgeable people I have also gotten to see and experience some of the best horsemanship and horses. For these reasons, I hold these associations so deep in my heart and this is my way to give back. I cannot wait for the adventure that’s to come! So with that being said I am so honored to run as a 2025 Interstate Princess.
