Wild West Pioneer 2024 Ride Recap 🐎🏁

This story begins in April when I saw that Jacob Cukjati was considering leasing out his incredibly accomplished homebred gelding, Niwot’s Dark Sun. Following some conversations about goals, we met for a ride to see if Dark Sun and I clicked. As I swung a leg over, I will never forget Jacob telling me that no one beside him had been on Dark Sun before. I knew I was being handed an unmeasurable gift, one that I would protect and treasure. After that ride Jacob gave me the green light to have some fun with his boy this year.

Fast forward to Friday morning and I’m rocketing through the beautiful and twisting trails leading from Skillman Campground through Tahoe National Forest on Dark Sun. I had the pleasure of riding with Leah Rose that day, and was thoroughly impressed by her riding, attitude, and her gritty little mustang mare Luna. We kept a good pace to a top ten finish, the horses felt fantastic, and Leah was first Junior!

On day two Dark Sun felt even stronger as we navigated another 55 miles. Jacob was able to watch his boy in action on the trail, and Dark Sun finished strong in 10th.

Day three had some unforeseen challenges that slowed our pace a bit, but Leah and I still had a blast chatting and riding. We finished somewhere in the top 20 with happy, healthy horses.

The cherry on top of an amazing weekend was learning that Dark Sun and I had the overall fastest time for the 155 mile ride. I want to also give credit to an amazing little rider who I believe was neck and neck with us for that award; Kendall Groth, a junior on the Crater Hill team!

My biggest thank you always goes to the horse; Dark Sun, you are incredible. You shocked me time and again with your strength, speed, and willing attitude. Jacob, my gratitude is endless that you offered me this opportunity. You’ve bred and created a top competitor, and a really fun and enjoyable horse. Jacob also helped crew for me and Leah all weekend, and it was invaluable to have him there. Thank you for being my riding partner Leah, I can’t wait for our next adventure! Thank you ride management, vets, and the entire village that made this ride happen!!

Please ignore whatever is going on with my hands in the first photo 🫣🤣

I’m so proud of how Tide is coming along, and feeling incredibly lucky to have her in my life! We’ve been going slow, having fun, and trying to build her up correctly. Went for a trail ride recently and she was a SUPERSTAR. Bridges, bikes, hikers, you name it, she didn’t care. Paired with this morning’s short and sweet ride on the flat where I felt some incredible movement and pieces coming together, I am ecstatic!

I’m having so much fun working on some new things with Sonora!! I’ve ridden this mare through red canyons in Utah, across Nevada and Southern CA deserts, straight into a lightning storm, through the rain, the dark, and in wind gusts over 50mph. She’s got one of the biggest hearts and most pure athleticism that I’ve ever sat on.

So thankful to .equine for sharing the one and only 🍓 with me 🥹

Welcome to the world, baby girl!! I’m honestly a bit sleep deprived and still trying to process that she’s mine. After being part of so many foals lives that I loved with the knowledge they would leave, it doesn’t feel real.

❤️ To my mare, Peggy Slew, you are a gift that keeps giving. I will spend forever trying to be worthy of you, and am thankful every day that you came into my life.
❤️ To baby girl, who still needs a name, I will likely mess up from time to time, but I will always put you first and do right by you. You are perfect, and I’m so excited for our future!
❤️ To little me, who dreamed of this day but never thought it would come true; all of our hard work, tears, and sacrifices have started paying off.

As I was about to go to sleep last night (from the RV we’ve had parked at the barn in front of Peggy’s stall), I decided to check the stall camera one last time. I froze in shock for a few seconds when I saw Peggy down with two front feet and a nose sticking out! I’d been in her stall not even 30 minutes prior, and though we suspected she might be close, we couldn’t believe how quickly it all happened!

The entire birth lasted less than ten minutes, and the filly was immediately strong and alert. She was standing, nursing, and doing everything she needed to do within an hour. I still can’t believe it.

If anyone needs me, I will be obsessing over this filly indefinitely, and hopefully getting more than two hours of sleep at a time in the near future!

Caught Daulton frolicking in the pasture yesterday, and it looked like something out of a painting! Maybe he was celebrating his upcoming third birthday (May 30th).

This gorgeous boy has grown and filled out TONS these last few months. It’s so fun to watch them grow from adorable foal, through the yearling and two year old gangly stages, into beautiful horses 😍

One year ago this weekend I was experiencing one of the most epic trips of my life; the Mt. Carmel XP ride in southern Utah! This trip solidified a friendship with two ladies that I now talk to literally every day, and who I hardly knew before the trip. This was the first time I rode Sonora, who has become one of my favorite horses of all time. It’s amazing what happens when you say YES to things ❤️

Going down memory lane with these photos, and wishing we were all there together right now! I think it’s time we invaded a new state with all our awesomeness, and we’ve got some fun plans in the works for later this year 😝

Today the spotlight is on Aria! It’s no surprise that thoroughbreds have a special place in my heart. I think a good one is unbeatable, and I especially love the TB/warmblood crosses. It’s a recipe for the best of both worlds!

Aria is a phenomenal thoroughbred mare who competed up to novice level eventing and schooled through prelim. The show jumping world was her calling, where she competed up to 1.10 meter and schooled 1.30 meter with ease. Her athleticism is wildly impressive, while her sweet and easygoing temperament is the cherry on top 🍒

Aria is owned by Campbellot Farms, and expecting her first foal as soon as next week!! She is bred to international Grand Prix show jumper, Utopie “Combina”. Holy scope, this foal is going to be incredible 🤩

Dressage superstar expected to arrive early April 2024!

Bred by Campbellot Farms Hanoverians.

Foal is by Grand Prix dressage stallion Donarweiss GGF, and out of Rubignona R (Rubignon/Escudo II). Rubignon was listed for the Swedish Dressage team in 2008 and 2009, has seventeen Grand Prix wins and placings, has produced Grand Prix offspring, and is known for his amateur friendly, talented, and rideable offspring.

Donarweiss was champion of his 30-day test with an overall score of 8.33, scoring 9's for rideability and jumping technique. Donarweiss stamps his foals with his outstanding conformation, athleticism, exceptional trainability, temperament, and impressive appearance.

Lately it feels like this has turned into an endurance page, and I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and share how I originally got into that sport! This feels especially appropriate as I'm currently at a ride camp in beautiful Ridgecrest, CA getting ready to make a 100-mile attempt with the lovely MM Sonora tomorrow 💪🏼 send us good vibes, and I will update when possible!

“One day or day one. You decide.” – Paulo Coelho.

This quote has been living rent-free in my head on repeat for quite a while now. I won’t go into a deep philosophical rant about meaning, I think it’s pretty self-explanatory (or something that a quick Google search can reveal). All I know is that I want to wake up every morning with the “day one” mindset.

I’ve failed more times than I’ve succeeded, and I’ve fallen enough times to know how to get up and keep going. Both in life and in the saddle. If you ever hear me speak of my accomplishments, it’s not to be boastful. It’s a mindset of gratitude to myself for not putting off the hard work, for getting up every day and chasing the hard things that will make me better. It’s for all the times I came up short, criticized myself into oblivion, had to pick myself up by my bootstraps and start again.

Every morning is a fresh start, so, happy Monday and DAY ONE!

I'm feeling like sharing this week, and don't think I've ever really introduced myself on here! My life has been filled with so many twists, turns, and changes of direction, it's impossible to do an "about me" that would even come close to covering it. Instead, I'm opting for some non-horse related facts that you might not know!

- After flunking out of community college, I spent my 20's riding full time. I went back to school and got my AA in English, then got my BS in Environmental Studies at the ripe old age of 30, graduating summa cm laude with nearly straight A's 👩‍🎓
- I am aiming to start my Master's program this Fall 😬
- I work full time for a large utility company on their Land and Environmental Management Team, as a Land Planner 🤓
- Some past non-horse jobs include being a biologist for an environmental consulting firm, and a hydrologic technician for the US Geological Survey 🌿🛥
- In my spare time I trail run (not incredibly well), and aim for about one race a month 🏃‍♀️
- My husband and I go hunting every fall, and try to squeeze in scouting/adventuring trips throughout the year. We love camping, exploring, and being out of cell service in the mountains 🏔

Not that anyone asked, but there are some fun nuggets of information about the lady behind the horses, and likely the only non-horse post I will ever do. Does anyone else have a wild life outside of horses?! I'd love to hear about it!

Be still my heart! Absolutely love seeing these foals grow into themselves. Dante is the biggest ham and knew it was his time to shine when we whipped out the camera! This young man’s full sibling from 2021 was purchased by an event rider based in Florida as an upper level prospect, and we can see Dante easily following in those footsteps.

Swipe to the end to see Tide’s DNA results!!

I’d never heard of Venezuelan criollo, but after some Googling I’m very excited. Apparently that breed is known for long-distance endurance and low basal metabolism, which is hopefully a good sign that endurance is a good career choice for Tide. I can see the Standardbred, but the Welsh pony is a wild card!

It doesn’t really matter what she is because she’s 100% my unicorn, but it is so much fun learning more about her!

My final big update for this recent season of life!

In the midst of my despair over Rizzo, a horse that checked every box on my wish list appeared. Many of you likely don’t know that I’ve long dreamed of owning a mustang, and especially after the wonderful endurance season I’ve had on two mustangs, I’m more smitten than ever. I’ve been particularly taken with mustang appaloosas, and though color doesn’t matter, I thought that’d be the icing on top. I wanted something young-ish, broke-ish, medium sized-ish, and something that I could do “all the things with”. The most specific, non-specific list ever!

These days I seem to dabble in endurance, dressage, jumpers, gymkhana, and someday might return to three day. I’ve been dreaming of a gritty little all-arounder that I can get old and grey with, and throw in the trailer to do something different and fun every weekend. Lo and behold, she existed…ten minutes from my house.

I saw her ad and my heart leapt, but the timing just wasn’t right. My friend sent me her pictures, and reached out to the owner on my behalf, knowing the mare was everything I’d been looking for. Still, I passed on meeting her. It was just too soon after Rizzo. When she was brought up to me a third time, I knew I had to at least meet her. She was sweet, smart, brimming with talent, and it felt meant to be. She came home with me the next day ❤️

I’ve decided to name her Time and Tide, calling her Tide for short. It’s from the proverb, time and tide wait for no man, and I feel it captures my philosophy on life and how she came to me. If you wait for the “right” moment, you’ll always be waiting. When something good comes your way, grab it. Not sure what the future holds for Tide and me, but I’m excited for whatever it is!

Pressing forward with my updates this week, the sweet, stunning, and incomparable Fiji has found her new family to love!

Fiji has been a bright light in my life, and the decision to part with her was tough. However, if this year has taught me anything, it’s to be honest and kind to yourself and those around you. I decided that I didn’t need to hoard all the pretty ponies just for myself, and that it was selfish to not share Fiji with someone special.

My horse and non-horse life became incredibly busy this year, I got full-on back into endurance riding, and as much as I would have loved to try some rides on the princess, I just knew she would not have enjoyed the life of an endurance horse.

For an inexplicable reason, I had a persistent feeling that Fiji might be a great fit for my friend Kim, who had been “unofficially”, very casually keeping an eye out for the right horse. That feeling grew stronger until I finally invited Kim out to meet Fiji, and it was love at first sight. Both Kim and Fiji hold special places in my heart, both are beautiful, strong ladies with a streak of sass, and seeing them together just felt right.

Last weekend, I helped settle Fiji in at her new home, and she had an entire family waiting to greet her. She has two “little’s” that both firmly believe she is their horse too, and her life is going to consist of the love, grooming, fun trail rides, and treats fitting of the princess she is.

I am so happy to congratulate Kim and Fiji on their new partnership and life together! 💕

I’m a few days late to post, but here’s some moments of Fiji’s adventure to Folsom Lake this week!!

Dante is captivating and he knows it! He was born ready to be the star of the show, is incredibly friendly, and intelligent. He combines the best of his parents; the grace and movement of his sire with the stride and heart of his dam. Located in Lincoln, CA and offered in the low fives. Please inquire for more information.

Things are getting weird, and I’m totally here for it 😂🙌🏼 Rizzo is featuring a dressage bridle, western saddle, and the expression of a healthy horse who is happy to come out and do something with me every day.

For the first time in my riding life I’m doing things purely for fun, with very little agenda. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always had fun riding, but I had training schedules, competitions, clinics etc., and for a very long time, riding was my job and 100% of my income. I would still love to compete in some way in the future, but man does it feel good to finally allow myself the mental space to not stress about it and just enjoy each day that I get to spend with my horse😌
