This impressive team, known for daring and graceful maneuvers, continues to elevate the sport, displaying their skill, discipline and showmanship.

SOUTHEAST SASKATCHEWAN - 小蓝视频east Saskatchewan’s Truco Trick Riders have made headlines once again, securing three honours at the Canadian Trick Riding Finals in Fort MacLeod, Alta., on Aug. 22 and 23.

This impressive team, known for daring and graceful maneuvers, continues to elevate the sport, displaying their skill, discipline and showmanship.

Jordanna White, Bailey Steeves, Shayda King, Kyla Dyer and Sharlize Hallberg have been impressing crowds all summer at 26 events.

Dyer and Hallberg joined the team this year, and the other three have been doing this for a couple of years.

These young women stand on their horses, or hang off the side while their horses are moving at a full gallop.

The furthest they have travelled is Manitoba and Lloydminster, and the rules are simple, one parent must attend each event that these young people are performing at. Shayda's mother Tammy King said this is for safety reasons. In case something happens, a parent is right there to help the girls along.

The Canadian Trick Riding Finals is a prestigious event that draws competitors from across the nation. It witnessed some of the most intense and exhilarating performances this year.

Held in a venue bustling with excitement, the Truco Trick Riders stood out, earning accolades in three categories. Shayda King was placed in the intermediate age group and with her skills and fearless riding she won the championship.

White and Steeves were in the open class for 16 and over. Both also have no fear for speed. White took home the reserve championship and the season leader championship. Steeves won the open division championship with the highest score.

Steeves and her horse Breeze also wone the Open Team of the Year, while White's horse Tiny Toby won for Open Horse of the Year.

The Truco Trick riders have been a formidable force in the trick riding community, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible on horseback.

Their dedication to the sport is evident in their rigorous training schedule, innovative routines, and the seamless coordination between horse and rider.

With these championships under their belts, the Truco Trick Riders are not only celebrating their victories but also looking ahead to future challenges.
