Real Horses. Real People. North Idaho Roots.

Tribal Cowboy is an Indigenous-owned equine business based in Athol, Idaho. I’m Stacie Huffhines, Nisenan Maidu, and I run this operation with my family, my horses, and a whole lot of early mornings.

We bring Clydesdales, ponies, and quarter horses to events, schools, and private gatherings across North Idaho and Eastern Washington. Wagon rides, pony parties, horse photo experiences, community programs. We show up with the horses, the setup, and everything your guests need for something they will actually remember.

Every session includes instant delivery, so your guests walk away with professional photos on their phones before they leave. No waiting, no hassle.

This is not a petting zoo. It is a professional, mobile equine experience built for real events, real budgets, and real people.

Why This Exists

It all started because of Billy.

My brother Billy had Down syndrome and later developed Alzheimer’s. He had a love for people and music and a laugh that could fill any room. His life shaped everything about who I am, and he is truly at the heart of why Tribal Cowboy exists.

This work carries his name and spirit. Through it, I want families like ours to feel welcome, safe, and seen. Every single time.

Where We Are Headed

We are building toward a fully accessible therapy barn. Level ground. Clear paths. Safe spaces to be near horses without any pressure to ride.

Grooming, leading, harnessing, driving a horse from a wagon seat. There are ways to work with horses that do not require climbing into a saddle, and we want to make every one of them available.

Part of this vision includes wagons designed for wheelchair access, with sturdy ramps, comfortable seating, and durable wheels built for safety. More people included. More ways in. That is the whole point.
