Meet the Ya-Hoo Crew

Guides

Sky, returning for her 12th 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, and trained horses. In her off time she can be found outdoors or coaching varsity basketball and softball in Kooskia Idaho. While McCall has become a second home to Sky, she says the reason she has kept coming back is for the memories and relationships created through the business. 

Zoe, a farrier in her off season, is returning for her 3rd 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. 

Baileigh, while still new to the crew, as she started late summer of 2024, brings nothing but high energy and a love for horses and traveling. She came to us as a volunteer and found a second home. This Texas native has a love for the outdoors and is always eager to learn new things so long as it involves horses. Her and her dog Yona love to hike and cross new states and cities off there list. 

Shiras is an eight 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 fifth 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 and Katie .HEIC

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.
