Shortreed looks to IPM after winning Princess title
Jaden Shortreed captured the
Princess crown and sash at the
Huron County Plowing Match last
week, edging out seven other
competitors for the venerated
title.
Shortreed, the daughter of Val and
Jim from the Walton area, said she
didn’t think she was going to win,
but it was a pleasant surprise when
she did.
“It felt really amazing,” she said.
“This was my second year
participating and I’m glad to be a
part of the Princess community
because it definitely helped.”
Shortreed thinks her speech put
her over the top, which focused on
why plowing should be an Olympic
sport.
Her speech was inspired by her
brother and father, who both plow
with horses, which demands more
physical activity than the traditional
one-furrow, three-furrow or
reversible plows.
“I thought, if I’m speaking at the
Huron County Plowing Match, I
should base my speech on
something I know and I think that
helped,” she said.
She said that she was able to
practice her speech and, while
having her cue cards made her
comfortable, she feels she knew the
speech well enough to not need
them.
“I was loud and I’ve done public
speaking for a long time, so I think
that helped,” she said. “In the
interview, I think I knew all the
answers and I think I sounded pretty
good.”
She prepared for the interview
questions by reading newspapers
and articles that Ruth Townsend, an
organizer of the event, provided to
the contestants.
“I read, and if I found something I
didn’t know, I researched,” she said.
While the Queen of the Furrow is
active for a full year before
competing at the Ontario Queen of
the Furrow Competition at the
International Plowing Match (IPM),
the newly-formed Princess of the
Furrow competition at the IPM
doesn’t give its competitors that
much time to prepare. Now that
Shortreed is Huron’s Princess, she
has to immediately start preparing
for the IPM in Chatham-Kent next
month where she will endeavour to
be the second-ever provincial
Princess from Huron County. She
hopes to follow Lucknow-area
Princess Brooklyn Hendriks who
claimed the provincial crown in the
first-ever competition last year.
“I hope to win the IPM,” Shortreed
said. “I hope to follow Brooklyn.”
She said, beyond preparing for the
IPM, she’s looking forward to
attending as many Huron Plowmen's
Association meetings as posible.
The local Princess competition
was initially created by the
Townsend family with the hopes of
being a feeder program for the
Queen of the Furrow and, with
Shortreed, that intent is being met.
“I hope to run for the Queen
competition,” she said. “You can get
scholarships for that and winning the
Queen contest would be great.”
She said anyone hoping to follow
in her footsteps needs to remember
two key practices: smile and
introduce yourself.
“When you’re at the match, just
keep smiling,” she said. “Greet
everyone you meet and tell them
who you are. Aside from that, it’s
just practising a speech, being loud
and confident and doing your best to
ignore your nerves.”

Brooklyn Hendriks, standing behind her. Caitlin McKercher, seated on the tractor in the back
row, was the first-ever runner-up in the contest, a necessity since the International Plowing
Match instituted a provincial-level Princess competition. Middle row, from left: Emily Hickey,
