Meet Our Current Royalty
2026 Queen - Hannah Norris
Hello, I am Hannah Norris, and I am your 2026 Elizabeth Stampede Queen. I am 17 years old and a high school senior. I am so excited to represent the Rodeo in the Pines alongside my Attendant Arianna and my horse Pedro.
Agriculture and rodeo are so important to me and they are a big part of my life. I am involved in 4-H and the AHCA Juniors showing horses, lambs, and Scottish Highland Cattle. I’m also a certified Artificial Bovine Technician, a skill I use on my breeding operation Bijou Creek Cattle Co.
My life doesn’t just revolve around agriculture however. I am also a vocalist involved in my school choir. After high school, I will continue my education at University of Wyoming, majoring in Business Marketing.
Being a rodeo queen has been an opening to not only representing industries which have shaped my life, but also to understanding the values of the sport of rodeo - community and tradition, which the Elizabeth Stampede exemplifies.
I want to thank Christ, my loved ones, and supporters who have helped me with this title. I’m sure will be a wonderful year.
Always remember Life, Liberty, Rodeo!
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” – 1 Peter 4:10
Hello, I am Arianna Montoya, your 2026 Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo Attendant!
I am passionate about rodeo, western heritage, and horses. I want to use my position to encourage young girls to get into the sport of rodeo.
Outside of rodeo, my horses and I have enjoyed western pleasure shows, cattle sorting, drill team, trail rides with friends, and the occasional gymkhana. I have also recently started riding English.
The horses you will probably see me with this year are my two quarter horses, Spice and Charlie. Spice is a half-blind red roan with a little bit of extra spunk. Charlie is a cremello who loves chasing cows. I have two other horses as well: Kahlua is a pinto rescue and one of the first horses I ever rode, and Beau is a paint who accompanies me to my western pleasure shows.
When I’m not working with horses, you can find me at a speech and debate competition, working as a Youth Leader on The Youth Council on Mental Health through Children’s Hospital Colorado, volunteering with Forge Evolution, participating in 4-H, and National Honor Society, doing school work, or reading a good book!
I am honored to represent the Elizabeth Stampede, and I can’t wait to meet you throughout my reign!
