Princess Celebrates Experience Of A Lifetime

My name is Mika Arnold, the 10-year-old daughter of Mike and Amanda Arnold, from Cane Hill, Ark., and I am in the fifth grade at Lincoln Middle School.

I have had so much fun representing the Lincoln Riding Club this year as Lincoln Riding Club Princess.

I have gone to many new places, and met a lot of new people. I got to talk to a lot of girls about rodeo and what it means to me being a princess. I rode in several rodeos representing my riding club. It was nice to see so many new people and different arenas. I was asked to carry the American Flag in honor of 9/11 during the Washington County Horse Show, that was awesome.

My most favorite thing of all was, I was invited by 2016 Miss Rodeo Arkansas Tori Miller to walk in her fashion show with her for her send-off to the Miss Rodeo America Competition. Once in a lifetime thing, I walked the stage with Miss Rodeo Arkansas.

I wish all girls my age got to

experience what I got to experience this year representing my riding club as Lincoln Riding Club Princess. Whether it was going to a rodeo, walking the stages, carrying flags, getting sponsors, and talking to new people, this has been an experience of a lifetime. Thank you Lincoln Riding Club, this year has been so much fun representing Lincoln Riding Club.” Mika Arnold Cane Hill 2016 Lincoln Riding Club Princess
