Treasure Valley Rodeo Queens

180 miles, two rodeos, and a whole lot of pride. ❤️

The first weekend of this month brought the final two Idaho Cowboy Association qualifying rodeos—the Kuna Stampede and the Baker County Fair & Rodeo. I tagged along with my brother, Joshua Enzminger, to both and got to watch him take a tie for first and a third place in Halfway bumping up his total earnings. With that win, he enters the ICA finals as the #1 Ranch Bronc cowboy... all in his rookie year. He decided to dive headfirst into the rodeo life, and all that hard work is officially paying off.

Outside of cheering him on, I loved reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting so many amazing new ones. A huge thank you to the Halfway Rodeo Queen Court for being so incredibly welcoming and letting me jump into the parade with you at the last minute! 👑✨ I can’t wait to see all the wonderful things God has in store for your futures and the titles ahead of you! 🤍

Weekends like this remind me how lucky I am. The rodeo community truly is one big family, and I’m incredibly proud to represent such an amazing, welcoming group of people!

Treasure Valley Rodeo Mini Queen Ava Shoemaker had a full weekend in Burns, Oregon, attending the Harney County Fair & Rodeo!

Ava enjoyed two nights of rodeo, watching the local 4-H auctions, and of course one of her very favorite things—racing! She competed in the Queen’s Race and a special match race for past and present royalty, where she placed 3rd in her heat! She also had the opportunity to ride in the local parade alongside other rodeo royalty.

One of the fun coincidences of the weekend was Ava being handed the Les Schwab sponsor flag to carry during the rodeo. On our way to Burns, we blew a tire in the middle of nowhere, and Les Schwab came to our rescue and helped get us back on the road—so carrying their flag felt especially fitting!

Even better, Ava got to share the weekend with her best friend from the Kuna Stampede and her cousin representing the Owyhee County Rodeo. And when they had a little downtime, they even squeezed in a visit to the Harney County Museum!

Such a fun weekend filled with rodeo, racing, friendship, and new memories!

A full-circle weekend for Treasure Valley Rodeo Mini Queen Ava Shoemaker!

Before becoming our Treasure Valley Rodeo Mini Queen, Ava proudly wore the title of Kuna Stampede Mini Queen, and this past week she officially wrapped up her final duties with the Kuna Stampede.

One of the sweetest moments was Ava crowning her very best friend, Jayden Roper, as the new Kuna Stampede Mini Queen and pass a title that has meant so much to her into the hands of someone so special.

Ava finished out her reign doing what she loves—pushing calves, carrying the Idaho State Flag, and getting the incredible opportunity to ride with the flag team for two nights!

What a special way to close one chapter while continuing another. We are so proud to have Ava representing the Treasure Valley Rodeo and can’t wait to see all the memories still ahead!

Treasure Valley Rodeo Teen Queen Kinley Draper had a wonderful time representing TVR at the Kuna Stampede Cowboy Breakfast and later buzzing the Kuna Stampede Rodeo!

From spending time with fellow rodeo royalty to riding through the arena, it was a great day celebrating rodeo, community, and western tradition. 💕 We love seeing Kinley out representing the Treasure Valley Rodeo!

Today we remember Amelia Palmer ♥️

One year ago today, our rodeo family lost a very special young lady. ❤️
Today marks one year since we said goodbye to Amelia Palmer, our Treasure Valley Rodeo Mini Queen 2024–2025.
Amelia may have worn a little crown, but she carried something much bigger with her. She brought joy, sweetness, and a light that reached far beyond the arena. She was a part of our rodeo family, and being our Mini Queen will forever be a part of the story we share.
It’s hard to believe a whole year has passed. Time keeps moving, the arena fills again, the dirt gets kicked up, the lights come on, and another rodeo comes and goes. But there are some people who never really leave us. They become part of the heart of the rodeo itself.
Today, we remember Amelia. We remember her smile, her spirit, and the joy she brought to those around her.
Once our Mini Queen, always our Mini Queen. 👑❤️
You are still loved. You are still remembered. And you will always have a place in the Treasure Valley Rodeo family.
Rest peacefully, sweet Amelia. Until we meet again. 🌻❤️🌻

Royalty supporting royalty!

Treasure Valley Rodeo Teen Queen Kinley Draper had the pleasure of attending the Kuna Stampede Queen Coronation! It was a wonderful evening celebrating the outgoing royalty, welcoming the new titleholders, and spending time with fellow rodeo royalty.

Congratulations to the newly crowned Kuna Stampede Royalty! We wish you an incredible year filled with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and plenty of rodeo adventures.

The Caldwell Night Rodeo absolutely brought in the pros! 🤠👑 I had the honor of watching Championship night, and it felt just like the National Finals Rodeo with so many world champions competing in one arena!
A huge shoutout to our former queen, Olivia Myers, who competed for the title of Miss Caldwell Night Rodeo. She took home the Runner-Up title, displaying amazing grace, confidence in her speeches, and incredible horsemanship. Watching her compete was a highlight for me, and I can’t wait to see where God takes her next. So proud to call her my friend!
Congratulations to Courtney Marshall on winning the Miss Caldwell Night Rodeo Queen title! 🎉 It has been such an honor watching you grow over the years. You will always be my EhCapa Queen!

Rodeo contestants aren’t the only ones hitting multiple rodeos in a single weekend—queens do it too! This summer has been non-stop: so many places to go and people to meet!
This July and August, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Black Canyon Stock Show and Rodeo, the Malheur County Fair and Rodeo, the Owyhee County Rodeo, and the Payette County Rodeo. Each one had its own unique vibe, yet they all felt like family. That sense of community is exactly what keeps me coming back, year after year and weekend after weekend!
2026-2027 Sr. Queen Hannah Enzminger

A little throwback to the beginning of August!

Treasure Valley Rodeo Teen Queen Kinley Draper had a wonderful time representing the Treasure Valley Rodeo at the Kuna Days Parade! There’s nothing better than a summer parade, time in the saddle, and getting to share the rodeo spirit with the community.

We love seeing Kinley out representing TVR and making memories along the way!

Treasure Valley Rodeo Mini Queen Ava Shoemaker had a wonderful time attending and buzzing the Owyhee PRCA Rodeo last weekend!

Ava loved getting to represent the Treasure Valley Rodeo, spend time with fellow rodeo royalty, and make more special memories along the way. 💕🐴
