Hi, my name is Lexi Morrison. I am your 2026 Senior Princess of the Halfway Rodeo Court. I am 13 years old and a 7th grader at Baker Middle School. I have three brothers, Landon, Jaxson and Baylor. My parents are Parker and Lacey Warner. I participate in volleyball, softball, wrestling and FFA. I have shown in 4H for the past 5 years and am now in FFA. I have shown goats for those past years and this year I will be showing a lamb at the Baker County and Halfway Fairs. I will be riding my 18-year-old Grey Mare, Misty. I have always loved horses for as long as I can remember and I wanted to give rodeo court a try! I am very excited to create memories and travel with my rodeo court!

JR Princess ANNALEE PHILLIPS
Payton Peppers is the second born child of Christopher and Brianna Peppers. Payton was born and raised in Baker City, Oregon on a small farm where she raised horses, chickens and hogs for FFA. She is active in her school and community, being a member of the OHSET (Oregon High School Equestrian Team), where she competes in western events and driving. She also competes for the Baker High School track program where she throws discus, shotput and javelin. On top of that she is also a member of her FFA Chapter where she was recently awarded her State Degree and a State Proficiency Award in equine entrepreneurship. Payton wants to further her education in equine science and animal science after high school and continue her rodeo queening journey to a state title.
Hi, my name is Annalee Phillips. I am 11 years old and in the 6th grade. I am very excited to be the 2026 Halfway Rodeo Court Junior Princess. I live in the Keating Valley on my family’s ranch. My parents are Ryan and Trista Phillips, and I have a brother named R.J. I am homeschooled, which gives me extra time to help with work on the ranch and spend time riding horses.
I love living in this area and spending time in Halfway, especially during the summer. Some of my favorite activities are pushing cows, riding in Playdays, and participating in the Halfway Fair. I have been showing hogs at the fair since I was 7 years old. Being involved in agriculture and rodeo has taught me responsibility and hard work, and I enjoy learning new things every year.
I am looking forward to an exciting year as the Junior Princess. I can’t wait to travel to different rodeos and parades with the Halfway Rodeo Court. I am also excited to help at the Junior Rodeo and meet new people along the way. My horse is a 15-year old Sorrel Quarter Horse named Pickle. This will be his first year as a court horse, but he is already a great ranch horse. I know he will do an amazing job, and I am excited to share this experience with him. I am honored to represent the Halfway Rodeo Court and look forward to a fun and memorable year.
