✨ Walk Down Memory Lane: 2006–2008 ✨
The years 2006–2008 were filled with celebration, adventure, and memories that continue to connect generations of EhCapa riders.
In 2006, EhCapa proudly celebrated its 50th Anniversary. Riders, alumni, families, and supporters gathered in Star, Idaho, for a special reunion weekend that included a performance, dinner, auction, historical displays, and time to reconnect with old friends. It was a chance to reflect on five decades of tradition while looking ahead to the future of the club.
That year's royalty court included Queen Sarah S***z, Princess Rachel Jenkins, Honored Brave Lee Canegaly, and Mini Princess Hanna Goff. The team performed at the Idaho Horse Expo, Snake River Stampede, Malheur County Rodeo in Ontario, Oregon, Wagon Days in Ketchum, and Senior Pro Rodeo Council events. A promotional video was also created to help share the EhCapa story.
Beyond the arena, riders spent time making bells, celebrating at Halloween and Christmas parties, and supporting the club through the annual Playday fundraiser. These moments together often became just as memorable as the performances themselves.
In 2007, Queen Jenna Greenwood, Princess Catherine Strack, and Mini Princess Echo Lauren represented the club. While very little documented history from that year remains, the friendships, laughter, road trips, and memories made by riders and families continue to live on.
The tradition continued in 2008 with Queen Alyssa Adams, Princess Dani Peterson, and Mini Princess McKenna Little. Through practices, performances, and travel, riders learned teamwork, confidence, responsibility, and perseverance—lessons that would stay with them long after their riding days ended.
As alumna Jenna Vega shared, "Everything about EhCapa was beyond words. I am so thankful for my parents and the dedication they had to my siblings and I, giving us the opportunities to make memories, friendships, and explore the United States and Canada. 'Oh, the Places You'll Go' is a great theme for EhCapa. I was able to see places and rodeos I would have never been able to see without this great club."
