CalliAnne is a fourth year animal science major on the pre vet-track. She began riding in high school, competing in Western and English 4-H shows in horsemanship, ranch riding, and also developed a passion for rodeo queening. At Cal Poly, she serves as the equestrian team president and has competed on the western show team each year. This is her second year in the Quarter Horse Enterprise and she is excited to work with these talented horses and contribute to the success of this year’s sale!

Ellie is a fifth year landscape architecture major with an architecture minor, and is excited to be helping out during Winter quarter. Although she has tried almost every discipline, she currently enjoys showing her horse in reined cow and ranch horse events and riding with her family. She served as a 2024 QH student manager and she is extremely proud of everyone managing this year. This is Ellie’s third year in the Quarter Horse Enterprise and she can not wait to spend her last quarter with all these amazing people and talented horses.
