Courtney has been riding since she was 5 years old. She started out just trail riding but soon began barrel racing through the Columbia Basin Barrel Racing Club. After a few years of that she joined Junior Rodeo and then 4H where she competed in Western Games such as barrels, poles, and figure 8. She also competed in many fun posse shows and even qualified to take her horse to the state fair several times. she is going to be riding her mare, Sidney for her reigning year. Being a rodeo queen has been a dream of Courtney's for many years and she's excited to finally have the opportunity to follow her dream.

Courtney will graduate from Big Bend Community College through the running start program in 2012 and then will continue her education at the University of Idaho where she plans to pursue a degree in Psychology. Then she plans to go on to law school to get her Master's degree and then work with Civil Cases later on.

Courtney is very excited to represent Othello as Miss Rodeo Othello 2012. She has loved watching the sport of rodeo for many years and is looking forward to promoting it and sharing what she loves with others. As she travels around Washington promoting Othello, she would like to dedicate her year to her family and her best friend who have been supporting her on this amazing journey.
