At the 2012 Saddle Queen Competition, 16 year-old Krista Maisch of Copperopolis, won the reigning pattern and punctuality portions.
Natalie
Harp of Valley Springs was crowned Saddle Queen, yet due to math errors early on in the contest the position
of Saddle Queen will now be held by both Krista Maisch of Copperopolis and Natalie Harp. The announcement of co-queens was made in the arena several times throughout the day on Sunday May 20, 2012 and confirmed with personnel from the Calaveras County Fair office on 5-21-12.
Maisch, excited to be co-queen, stated that Harp - her co-queen- was "very sweet and happy for me too. She is an amazing person." While thanking her sponsors for their generosity she give a heartfelt thanks to her mother "for always being there since the very beginning, she takes away her own time for me and that really touches me."

Maisch's love of horses began at the young age of seven and she has "never stopped loving them" since. Maisch's horse is named 'Blackie,' an appropriate name she feels for he is "like a black knight."
Attending Bret Harte her favorite subject is English, yet after high school Maisch plans on getting her general education complete and then hopes to head to Oregon State to major in animal sciences, "I know a lot about animals and if one were to be put out in front of me, I would do anything to help take care of it."

The contestants were judged on public speaking, horsemanship, poise and interview skills. The Queen will go on to promote the Calaveras County Fair
and Jumping Frog Jubilee at other county fairs throughout the summer in
their agriculture division.
Congratulations Krista Maisch!!!!
