Senior Queen Hailey Rae
Coming to you from Star, Idaho, Hailey Rae is your 2024 Treasure Valley
Senior Queen. A 16-year-old Idaho native, she is currently in her junior
year at Owyhee High School. After graduating, Hailey plans to attend
Boise State University, where she will major in family law.
Hailey has a deep love for all animals, a passion instilled in her at a
young age while growing up with her older sister, Hannah, and her mom,
Paula, on a farm filled with four-legged friends. Known for her big
heart, Hailey has brought home a variety of animals, ranging from
rabbits to dogs, and even fish. Her best friend is her 5-year-old border
collie named Donnie.
Hailey began riding horses as a young girl, spending countless hours
outdoors with her first horse, Coon, often taking naps while riding him.
Now, she rides her trusty steed, Concho, who is her pride and joy and
traveled all the way from Missouri to Idaho.
When she's not at a rodeo with Concho, you can find Hailey Rae enjoying
outdoor activities. During the hot summer months, she loves paddle
boarding or wakeboarding at the lake, hiking mountain trails, and taking
her dogs swimming or on walks. In the winter, you’ll find her
snowboarding on the slopes. Hailey Rae also enjoys running and curling
up with a good book.
With a strong passion for the western way of life, Hailey finds great
fulfillment in the sport of rodeo. She is dedicated to educating others,
promoting this sport, and serving as a positive role model for her
community and sponsors. She looks forward to meeting everyone on the
rodeo trail!
