Emma Hamel – 2026 JSC Queen
My name is Emma Hamel and I am your 2026 Johnstown Saddle Club Queen.
I am so grateful to be able to continue my journey with the club along with both my horses; HR Smart Shootin (AKA Shooter- AQHA Sorrel Gelding) and Electric Boomer (AKA Sonrisa- AQHA Chestnut Mare).
Horses have been a big part of my life since I was little, and have taught me lessons worth gold, both in and out of the arena. For many years, I always wanted to be one of the royalty girls on their pretty horses, and JSC has given me the opportunity to make that dream come true.
JSC is my second family and I am very thankful I am able to give back to our members and represent the club to the best of my abilities.
I look forward to seeing y’all at events this year!!
Addison Lambert – 2026 JSC Jr. Queen
My name is Addison Lambert, and I am honored to be your 2026 Johnstown Saddle Club Jr. Queen. I am 10 years old and from Loveland, Colorado. I have been riding horses ever since my mom could put me on top of her childhood BLM mustang, Harley. I am excited to represent Johnstown Saddle Club on Pippin, my very own BLM mustang that I have been training for 2 years now! Together, Pippin and I compete in English, Western and Gymkhana Events at JSC; we’re also members of Larimer County’s 4-H Club, Desperados. The two of us have come a long way from his days of running wild with his herd. We won two overall champions and a reserve during the 2025 Larimer County Fair! This year, I hope to continue to grow my confidence on and off the saddle and help Pippin achieve new goals like neck reining and cantering. As your Jr. Queen, I hope my journey with my horse will inspire others to not be afraid to fail, to stay humble, and to never give up.

Amberly Fender – 2026 JSC Jr. Princess
Hello Everyone,
My name is Amberly Fender, and I am your 2026 Johnstown Saddle Club Jr. Princess. I am so honored and excited to represent our club this year and help promote the western way of life. I began riding when I was two but last year was the first time I have ever competed in equestrian events. I have always loved being around horses. My horse, Faith, has been such a big part of my journey and continues to teach me so much about responsibility, trust, and the special bond between horse and rider. This year, I look forward to improving my horsemanship skills, growing as a rider, a leader, and sharing my love for horses with others. My long-term goal is to become a professional barrel racer. I believe that with my faith in God, dedication, and hard work, I can make that dream come true. Some of my favorite hobbies include riding, playing volleyball, watching my brothers, and helping with my family’s nonprofit. I am truly honored to serve as your Jr. Princess for 2026, and I can’t wait to represent the Johnstown Saddle Club alongside the rest of our royalty court this year.
