Congratulations to Tristen Sewell our 2025 Scholarship winner.  Tristen is a 3rd generation member of PSHA/WSH organizations and Valley Riders Saddle Club in Ellensburg.  He is the son of Bow and Tricia Sewell and the grandson of Dewain and Diana Lien.  

Tristen grew up riding and competing since he was a youngster.  Some of you may remember him riding the cowhide at State Finals when he could barely hang on or running poles on his little rocket of a horse.  He has won many championships and awards beginning in Buckaroo class.     

Tristen will be graduating from McLoughlin High School in Oregon in June.  He is furthering his education by taking the Diesel Mechanic Program and Welding at Walla Walla Community College.

A short paragraph taken from Tristen's essay:  "The opportunity to be a part of an organization that promotes family, friendships, and horsemanship is most valuable.  Learning the value of hard work and dedication to a goal and that will carry over with me as I continue my education at Walla Walla Community College."

The PSHA family is proud of Tristen and wish him the best as he continues to Walla Walla Community College.
