Why I want to be Miss Teen Rodeo Oregon: 

I want to become Miss Teen Rodeo Oregon because I would have the opportunity to share my excitement about rodeo with all of the people that I would meet on the road.  Also, I want to be an inspiration to kids of all ages to want to become involved in rodeo.

My name is Kiernan Hull. I am the 16 year old daughter of Christine & Daniel Hull, M.D. My Mom says that I was born and raised on horseback. I live on a farm in Newberg, Oregon with my parents and two bothers, Cody and Cuyler.

I have been involved in equine competition throughout my life. I love Equestrian Vaulting, Jumping, Dressage, Mountain Trail and of course Rodeo. I have competed in several NWYRA rodeos since I was 9. I have three national titles in Mountain Trail.

My Mom and I have an Equestrian vaulting team, Ecco Ridge Vaulters. I absolutely love volunteering my time coaching the children and enjoy watching them improve.

I'm home-schooled and plan to continue through high-school. After I graduate, I will attend Oregon State University for a degree in business and agriculture. When I grow up I want to be a professional horse trainer.

Horses have made me a better person and I enjoy sharing my love for horses and Rodeo with everyone!
