Taina MacDonald

2026 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Queen

My name is Taina MacDonald, and I am honored to serve as the 2026 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Queen! The opportunity to represent the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo this year is a privilege I deeply value, and my sincere hope is to serve in a way that genuinely reflects the spirit and heart of our incredible community.

I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. Although I lived in Arizona for a little while, beautiful Colorado has been home for many years! Horses have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began riding at 8 years old and started showing several years ago, and my love for horses continues to grow stronger every day. Working with, teaching, and learning from horses has taught me the meaning of hard work, patience, mutual respect, perseverance, and heart.

I’ve been a 4-H member for seven years, taking on projects like photography, cake decorating, goats, horses, and chickens.

When I’m not in the arena, or taking care of my animals, I am most likely dancing, studying, or travelling. Having been mostly homeschooled for the majority of my education, I have had the opportunity to experience 20 different countries, cultures, and people, which have all contributed to shaping my education. I am extremely grateful to my incredible family, who have supported me in all my crazy dreams and have stood by me through every early morning trailer loading, late-night practice, and long show days. After high school, I plan to attend college and explore my interests in medicine—a field that inspires me to dream big and work hard.

I hope to see you at the 2026 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo! You will experience a celebration full of tradition, legacy, and heart-pounding excitement; all while making friends and creating memories you’ll never forget. If you see me around, please come say hello…I can’t wait to share our amazing 2026 Fair & Rodeo with you!

Jorden Price

2026 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Queen Attendant

Hey there! My name is Jorden Price, and I’m honored to represent Douglas County Fair & Rodeo as the 2026 Queen Attendant. As a senior in High School, I hope to join the Air Force to train as a nurse, then work my way to becoming a pediatric nurse. Training horses on the side is also a passion of mine that I want to continue even with a full load of course work.

Although I’ve been riding competitively since I was 13, I’ve been around horses my entire life, with rodeo and animals my whole world! Lately, I’ve been training my horse Titan on barrel racing and look forward to adding breakaway to our list of accomplishments. I also compete in western pleasure with my horse Big John and have won a couple buckles and other great awards from the Douglas County Buckle Series in gymkhana and western pleasure!

When I’m not with my horses, I love hanging out with my family and friends, being outside, and drawing. There’s something about being outdoors and seeing everything God created that just makes me happy.

Joining the Douglas County Royalty is literally a dream come true. Ever since I was little, I’ve looked up to those girls—they’re gorgeous, brave, and confident, and they represent everything rodeo stands for. Watching them carry the American flag around the arena or ride in parades always made me smile so big. Now, getting the chance to be one of them means everything to both little me and current me! I love the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo and being able to help represent is absolutely incredible. I hope you will join Big John, Titan, and me July 24-August 2 at the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo, where we Rock The Stock in Castle Rock!

My name is Addison Staninger, I am your 2026 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Princess. Getting the opportunity to serve our Fair & Rodeo is more than an honor, it’s a privilege. I am 16 years old and a sophomore in high school. I have lived in Douglas County for almost 5 years.

I have been riding horses for 11 years and am excited to compete in reined cow horse with Oscar, my 9-year-old Quarter Horse. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. This year would not be possible without the support of my amazing family. They have supported my dreams, passions, and goals for so long, and for that I am so grateful. I am an active 4-H member, and for the past 7 years I have done several projects, ranging from horses to a .22 rifle. I believe that Douglas County is truly a special place, and I hope you will join me in celebrating the annual Douglas County Fair & Rodeo. I hope to see many of you enjoying a lemonade while watching our award-winning PRCA rodeos. The word bored will never be in your vocabulary at the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo!

Presleigh Holden

2026 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Princess Attendant

My name is Presleigh Holden, and I am 12 years old and in the 6th grade! I am your 2026 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Princess Attendant, and I love all things rodeo! From mutton bustin’ to barrel racing and bucking broncs, I enjoy spending those hot summer days at the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo! Be sure to stop and say “howdy” to me and my horses, “Beau Jangles” and “Macy”.

One of my greatest blessings is being able to live in America and enjoy the many freedoms that have been fought for over the past 250 years! Faith, Family, and Freedom are the most important things in my life, and I thank Jesus for His gift of salvation. I will always stand up for my faith in Jesus Christ! My favorite Bible verse is Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”

Outside of rodeo events, I love to ride my horses, play volleyball and basketball, sing, hang out with my family and friends, travel, ski, and read horse books! My favorite thing to do with my horse Beau Jangles, is run poles! I also participate in Douglas County 4-H and have participated in the Horse, Turkey, and Cake Decorating projects over the past two years. I look forward to doing the goat project in July at the DCF&R so come check out my goats, too!

Hope to see y’all at the award-winning Douglas County Fair & Rodeo July 24- August 2!
