⭐ CAYDA DODGINGHORSE ⭐
📍 Tsuut'ina, Alberta
📚 Community Psychology
🐴 Barrel Racing
❤️ Horse: Nelson
Cayda's proudest accomplishment this season was winning MSU-Northern's home rodeo and capturing the Big Sky Region Barrel Racing Championship.
"Being a college athlete has taught me so much. I am learning to balance school, rodeo, and horse care. I also love the friends that I've made while being at college."
"NIRA helped me become more competitive. It was a tough freshman year, but it was only leveling me up."
"My support system is my parents and my friends. They are my biggest supporters, and I am so thankful for them."
🏇 Pre-Race Must Have: Her BEMER blanket.
"I can't go without my BEMER blanket for my pre-race routine. I put it on Nelson before every race."
Help us cheer on Cayda as she represents MSU-Northern at the 2026 College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming!
