Introducing Jaiden Moat! My youngest sponsor this year, I am so excited to see how this awesome team do over the season.
Jaiden's Story:
I started riding horses at the age of five, I got my first horse of my own (M&M) at age 8, he was a 15.1hh paint gelding. I later got my heart horse, Star, he was a grey 14hh Welsh cross with cushing’s disease and was a rescue. Star allowed me to trot around the barrels in the pasture we eventually entered our first barrel race in Osoyoos, BC our time was a 32.4, I was super proud of him.
When I was 12 I got my first actual barrel horse Jiggs, a dark bay appendix mare. She was 25 years old when we got her, I only rode her for one season, she taught me alot.
At age 13 I took a really big step up to a 19 year old seasoned appendix mare who is 16.2hh, Tuff is a Sorrel mare that goes back to Secretariat & Bold Ruckus. She has helped me become more competitive and confident. When we first got Tuff she was a lot bigger then we thought and she was very intimidating. She has shown me that trying bigger things can be scary, but they are worth it. Like when we went to the Big Bang Barrel Race for the first time, it was scary and one of the biggest races I’ve been to but she showed me its okay to be scared and that we can trust each other.
Where my interest started:
I got my interest in barrel racing from seeing videos of barrel racing online while I was trying to get better at riding.
Accomplishments:
Some of my accomplishments include 2023 Junior Champion, Osoyoos, 2024 Junior Champion Chevaliers Winter series, 2024 PeachLand Riding Club open 3D Champion, 2025 PRC Junior barrels reserve, 2025 KGC Junior 2nd place and qualified winner of Russo Auto Sales Saddle.
