Meet the Ya-Hoo Crew

Sky, returning for her 11th 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 playing every sport under the sun. 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. 

Guides

Zoe, recently completing farrier school, is returning for her 2nd 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 to help out. 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. 

Keelia, a Idaho native, is no stranger to Ya-Hoo. She started riding out here at just 3 years old and has loved horses ever since. She has volunteered her time off and on over the years so that she could spend time with so many horses she has seen grow up. This will be Keelias second summer out at the corrals and her history at Ya-Hoo, outgoing personality, and go-getter attitude make her an incredible asset to the crew.

Shiras is a seven 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.
