Meet the Ya-Hoo Crew
Guides
Sky, returning for her 13th year as a guide, is also the managing owner of Ya-Hoo. She started trail riding in the back country at just a year old. Growing up she participated in 4-H, rodeo, multiple varsity athletics and training horses. Guiding at Ya-Hoo started as a way to fill her summers home from college and turned into a dream business opportunity. In her off season she can be found guiding big game hunts in the back country of Idaho or coaching varsity basketball and softball. While McCall has become a second home to Sky, she says the reason she has kept coming back is for the memories and relationships built through the business.
Zoe, a farrier in her off season, is returning for her 4th summer. Zoe started riding at Ya-Hoo at just six years old and has been back every year since to ride and volunteer her time. She started full time in August of 2022 when she could officially guide. She has a horse back home who she loves to trail ride with and spend her off season expanding her horsemanship on.
Emma, is in her second summer at Ya-Hoo but her first as a guide. Emma is a recent graduate from McCall Donnelly High School who has excelled both in academics and athletics. She will be continuing her education while playing collegiate volleyball in Arizona. Emma started volunteering at Ya-Hoo as a young girl because of her fascination of horses. Due to this and her love of being outdoors she decided to give the guiding a try to filler her summers between school.
Shiras is an nine year old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd who loves fetch and Huckleberries. Having started work for Ya-Hoo at 7 weeks old he knows all the trails like the back of his paw.
Tazz will be returning for his sixth summer at Ya-Hoo Corrals as a four year old. He is a Red Merle Australian Shepherd with more energy than necessary and a very playful, occasionally lazy, personality.
The Horses
RJ, a small sorrel gelding, use to only have reverse. Now he goes anywhere and loves to be in your back pocket.
Concho, a red roan mare, is a laid back easy going gal and is GREAT with kids.
Newt, while small in stature has an attitude just as big as a Clydesdale. He is a grulla gelding and is as smart as they come.
Woodrow, from the western Lonesome Dove, is the most handsome bay horse you'll ever meet. He is a carrot lover!
Maggie, a bay mare, has a large appetite and would love to share the local grasses with you. You might just have a best friend for life if you bring her a carrot.
Lucy, a grulla mare, is a new mom to a beautiful foal named Katie. Lucy is as well a smooth slow ride!
Friday, a dappled bay, is back at Ya-Hoo! His easy going personality and big heart make him a valued member of our team that we are happy to have back!
Jonsey is a stunning big blue roan. This boy is as mellow as they come and is the perfect ride to take it slow and enjoy the scenery.
Hammer, while not to goofy on the trails, is a dork who loves running water on his face anytime he isn't working.
Blaze, once used for roping and working cows by a dear friend, spends his time now on the trails and taking things at a slower pace. This strawberry roan is sure to be a great ride.
Selene is a Fresian Arabian cross who use to compete in english & hunter jumper competitions. As well she's been used as a queen horse for numerous local and state title holders.
Jake is about as handsome as they come. But don't let him fool you, he's got personality and speed. However, unless he is barrel racing, don't expect more than a walk and lots of huckleberry consumption.
The Percheron Team
The biggest and sweetest gals on the property are Lady (left) and Classy (right). These two gentle giants love face scratches and any treats they can get ahold of. Feel free to come say hello or take a wagon ride with them.
