Shar Weehunt Miss Turquoise Circuit 2024 resides in Tularosa, NM. She is currently a full-time college student at Grand Canyon University online and CEO of her family’s custom clothing and design business, “Southwest Attitude’s”. Ms. Weehunt, 21 years old is the daughter of Shiela Weehunt and sister of Arren Weehunt. Shar comes from a small family-owned water well drilling business located in the Tularosa basin known for “Weehunt for water”.  

Her love of agriculture and rodeo runs deep as a first-generation cowgirl. Shar participates in barrels, breakaway roping, sorting, and reining with her AQHA horse Sunny. And she also loves occasionally exhibiting in chute dogging. Miss Turquoise Circuit was the first ever rodeo queen Shar saw growing up that inspired her to be a rodeo queen herself.  From the way a queen holds the western spirit as an ambassador keeping these traditions alive through the passions of the sport of rodeo. It takes grace, grit, and courage to be a true cowgirl.

 

Getting Shar to where she is today, her personal belief and platform, “Don’t let life define you, let it drive you”, shares that vision.  Those goals, dreams, and passions in life one must never give up on or give in but driven towards them at full speed with pure tenacity and determination.  Encouraging others, no matter where you came from, what you have, or where you start NEVER let those things in life define you but use those factors as a driving principle to strive for the goals and aspirations in your life that you truly want and desire. Sometimes people in life struggle with difficult circumstances or challenges, but that just makes you dig deeper and work a little harder.  Shar swears, “you can come from the bottom of nothing, and work towards everything by being strong and determined through clear mindfulness on what truly matters. Work through each day looking at the lessons of life as powerful experiences to learn. Though the journey may be long and often drags you through the dirt, the skills, wisdom, lessons learned and experiences are well worth getting you to where and who you're meant to be.” 

 

Shar plans on attending as many Turquoise Circuit rodeos as possible being on the rodeo road promoting our vision, mission, and goals of the Professional sport of Rodeo. She encourages others to join our community, industry, and rodeo family. From school visits, community engagements, rodeo appearances, sponsor visits, rodeo queen events, and more. Shar can’t wait to meet you all down the rodeo road.
