Congratulations to Erika Tanney and her two Mules, Delilah and Lill Miss Feeona, on an ever increasing tally of wins and achievements.

"I'd like to thank ACTHA for giving me the opportunity to not only ride and compete, but to excel with my mules. I never imagined I could win a saddle, let alone earning it while trail riding and having a great time with friends. Delilah at the age of 6 helped me earn the Tucker saddle, and Feeona at the age of seven also won the Gaited Medal award," Erika tells us. Erika and Lill Miss Feeona currently rank 2nd on ACTHA's National Leader Board.

"Erika is beautiful. Her horsemanship, her presence when she performs and her generosity with all those she competes with. As Erika's hauling partner, I am so grateful to have shared all the highs and a couple of lows in 2014. Erika is not only a champion to all of us who know her, she is a kind and gracious friend."

Feeona returned to competition last season after undergoing stem cell therapy on a pulled tendon in her front foot. We're glad to hear she has fully recovered and is enjoying herself on the trail again. In the photo, Erika and Feeona pose during a costume event at an ACTHA ride in Kansas.
