2025 Rodeo Royal Court
My name is Gracie Tucker and I am honored to be the 2025 La Pine Rodeo Queen! I am a 16 year old junior attending La Pine High school.
I first started riding horses when I was 10 after I got my first horse Rainy, however, I have been around them all my life. I’ve participated in 4-H, local competitions, and this will be my third year in OHSET. This year along my side I have my newest horse Sadie who is an 18 year old mare with lots of go in her! Other than riding horses I enjoy riding 4-wheelers, spending time with friends, hunting, fishing, and during the summer months swimming!
Dear Lacee the 2024 La Pine Rodeo Queen:
You have inspired me so much over this past year as you went around representing La Pine. I am truly grateful for the advice you have offered me and helping out where you can. I can’t wait to see where this year takes you as the 2025 Jefferson County Fair and Rodeo Queen!
I am beyond grateful for all the support the association, family, friends, and community has given me over these past few months. I am so excited to see where this year will take me, the people I will meet along the way, and the amazing opportunities this will bring in the future.
Joyfully,
2025 La Pine Rodeo Queen

Hey my name is Nora Gates, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to serve as your 2025 La Pine Rodeo Princess!
I’m a 15-year-old sophomore at Redmond Proficiency Academy, a proud National Honor Society member, and an all-around Western enthusiast!
My love for horses started when I was 10 years old, and just a year later, I got my very first horse—a now 13-year-old Appaloosa who’s been my partner in crime ever since. Since then, my passion has only grown, and I stay busy riding with 4-H, OHSET (Oregon High School Equestrian Team)—where I’m honored to be the Co-Captain for the 2025 season—and OHSRA (Oregon High School Rodeo Association) with both of my amazing horses. When I’m not in the saddle, you’ll find me 4-wheeling, hanging out with friends, and swimming whenever the Central Oregon weather allows!
This year, I’ll be hitting the rodeo road with J.R., my 10-year-old Quarter Horse gelding. He’s got a heart of gold, a need for speed, and a personality that’ll steal your heart!
I can’t wait to represent the La Pine Rodeo and share my love for rodeo and the Western way of life. See y’all down the road!
