About Tribal Cowboy
Tribal Cowboy is an Indigenous owned equine company led by Stacie Huffhines of the Nisenan Maidu. Our goal is to share the strength and calm of our horses with families, schools, and communities in North Idaho and Eastern Washington. What started as a family passion for horses has become a business rooted in culture, care, and accessibility. We are dedicated to educating communities about the value of horses, from their unique personalities to their ability to create connections and build confidence in people of all ages. Tribal Cowboy is committed to creating opportunities not only for riding but also for experiencing horses in ways that are safe, inclusive, and meaningful. We believe that horses can bring healing, joy, and empowerment, and we strive to ensure that every visitor leaves with lasting memories and a greater respect for these amazing animals.
It all started because of Billy…
My brother Billy had Down syndrome and, later in life, developed Alzheimer’s. He had a beautiful love for people, music, and a good laugh that could brighten any room. His life deeply shaped who I am today and is truly at the heart of why I started Tribal Cowboy. This work carries his name and spirit in every step, and through it, I hope families like ours feel genuinely welcome, safe, and seen every single day.
Therapy Barn Vision
We are building toward a fully accessible therapy barn. Level walking areas. Clear routes. Safe spaces to be near horses without pressure to ride. Hands-on tasks like grooming, leading, and harnessing. Driving a horse, not only riding, so more bodies and abilities are included.
Part of this vision includes wagons designed for accessibility — with sturdy wheelchair ramps, black fabric seating, and durable black wheels for safety and comfort. These wagons will allow more people to enjoy the experience of being with and driving horses.
