The third Bridle Up Hope Skijor Team blends courage, community, and the unstoppable spirit of our riders, horses, and skiers. Rooted in the Bridle Up Hope mission of building hope, confidence, and resilience through horses, our team takes that strength to the snow, where grit meets adrenaline and every run tells a story of determination!

Returning for her second year of skijoring, Bryn is fired up and ready to fly down the course once again. Last season lit a spark, and this year she’s chasing bigger goals, smoother runs, and every adrenaline-packed moment the track has to offer. She’s competing with her horse, Vegas; a powerful partner with grit, speed, and plenty of personality.

On the ropes is skier Patrea Sykes, a Nevada native who loves exploring new sports and outdoor adventures. With courage, curiosity, and a fearless spirit, she’s ready to carve the snow and bring her all to every run.

Together, Bryn, Patrea, and Vegas embody partnership, perseverance, and heart!
