Hood River Rides

Erin Silo (a fantastic Canadian, customer of Oceanic Designs 3-D ) and Jett are a Langley, BC partnership that’s already earned a place on Equestrian Canada’s Dressage National Team Program A Squad. In June 2026, Erin was ranked #4 in Canada, after multiple CDI3* Grand Prix wins with Jett, a Dutch Warmblood gelding.

What stands out is how much work has gone into getting there. Erin still works three jobs while competing at international Grand Prix level, after spending 21 years in eventing before making the move to dressage.

They’re now aiming for Canadian team selection at the 2027 Pan American Games, on the road toward LA 2028. Support can help cover entries, travel, Jett’s transport, stabling, coaching, veterinary care, and accommodation.

Seven people have helped get this campaign started. If you’d like to help build that momentum, visit their GoFundMe page to contribute or share their story.

Back to school and schooling. Working on staying with your horse over the fence. Let’s bounce.

Between our 3D printing business, amazing students and horse shows, and finally being back in the saddle again. I’m feeling pretty happy.❤️

I am still smiling from this weekend spent at Hunter Creek Team Northwest Equestrian Sports, the Bedrock Series. I am over the moon about how the girls and their horses performed. Besides the weeks of smoke that kept everyone grounded, the busy non-stop summer schedule, and less time in the saddle than we would have liked, Team Hood River Rides showed up!

Reagan and Kelli moved up to 2'3 and finished the Hunter Division as Champion, with a large, tough field nipping at their heels for two days, and rode some very impressive eq rounds with great ribbons.

Then Dyna and Reilly absolutely rocked the .60 non-pro jumper division with a double clear, fast times, and also claimed that Championship. She, too, had some impressive moves in the 2-foot eq division. Watch for some vids 🙂 soon :)

Even I can't believe how stunning these turned out. If you are thinking about (omg xmas!) presents. Order early.
