Hey there!

My name is Jojo Lindsey and I am one of your 2024 Interstate Queen candidates. I am the 18 year old daughter of Ahsley and Taylor Lindsey, and we reside in Everson, WA. Last year I graduated from Mount Baker High School where I competed on the High School Equestrian team as well as Varsity Basketball. My plan after high school is to go to the Oklahoma horse shoeing school with the hopes to become a great and respected farrier in my area. I also have plans to attend Vet Tech School in the near future and hope to work at The Northwest Veterinary Clinic of Mount Vernon.

​

I have been a part of the Nooksack Valley Riders and PSHA for a little over three years but it has felt like a lifetime. I have been blessed with amazing people to show me the ropes and catch me up to speed quickly! From not knowing how to ride at all in 2017 to where I am competing today on of the craziest mares around. I started my PSHA journey on ole trusty Bird who showed me a ton, alongside Burgess who tested my patience daily. Those two paint geldings have a spot in my hear forever. I have now moved to on to Peppy, my beloved red mare, and Tomichi, who isn't quite running with the big dogs but she's on her way. I have been competing with these two for about two years and couldn't ask for it any other way. Some of the most amazing athletes and partners a girl could ever have.

​

Interstate is fairly new to me but has been an amazing experience each time I've gone! My first year going was in 2021 when I was 16 and I competed with Bird. We only made it in two individual events along with a few team events. It was so much fun and all of the people there were welcoming and made it an amazing experience despite the lack of luck with my runs. My second year at Interstate I qualified in ever individual event with Peppy and some team events with my amazing friends and family. Peppy waited until the last second to get our final time for 7A, for PSHA, and did it with a bang! We won poles, getting my first ever buckle and completing our 7A journey in just three months together. It was an uplifting experience to say the least! I am honored to ride such an amazing mare and compete along side the great people in this organization.

​

PSHA and WHO have helped me grow so much as a person already and I am ready for more of it! In just the three years I have traveled to Interstate, I have met some amazing people who keep me wanting to show up. I am excited to meet more of our friends from Oregon and explore more arenas near and far! I am ready to give back to the organization that has shown me so much.

​

I am extremely excited to be able to represent PSHA and WHO this year! I hope everyone has an amazing season filled with clean, safe, and fast runs!

Your 2024 Interstate Princess,

Jojo Lindsey
