Cheyenne Frontier Days Mounted Marshals

Tonight I was able to deliver our Mounted Marshal Buckle of the Year for 2025 to Dyna Hackett! What an inspiration this lady is to myself and so many others. Congratulations again young lady, you make that buckle look fabulous!❤️🤠🐎

Good morning Mounted Marshals! Wow, the weather outside is frightful. I can not say I'm "sorry" we won't be enduring this cold to hang wreaths tonight. I am sorry I won't be presenting our Mounted Marshal of the Year Buckle.

Tonight I would have been honoring a fabulous little lady, who is a veteran Mounted Marshal. After the first of the year, she'll have put in 20 years as a Cheyenne Frontier Days volunteer riding for Mounted the entire time. This includes many years of helping run back track Mounted security for CFD concerts. She also finds the time to help with work details and wagon moves for the Parades Committee. She will be turning 80 years young in February, about the same time she hits her 20 years with CFD.

According to her daughter, this lady has always been "horse crazy!" She started out riding with the Blue Sky Riders in Colorado. She also volunteered at the National Western Stock Show in 90's. Then, she landed with the Mounted Marshals and has been with the group ever since. I also know that she spent many years hauling her daughter to horse events and now her daughter returns the favor and makes sure she can continue to ride at events, parades, and classes.

I don't know that this lady knows what an inspiration she is to the folks that ride with her. I smile when I see her show up to ride for Mounted or classes at the college. It just shows that there is no time limit for being on the back of a horse. You just got to keep riding!

I am proud to say and congratulate our Cheyenne Frontier Days Mounted Marshals of the Year Dyna Hackett!

Thanks so much for your dedicated service to the Mounted Marshals and being an inspiration to myself and others. You have become a friend to me and I am so fortunate to be able to honor you!!!!🤠🐎❤️

I will be handing over Dyna's buckle to her at the Parades Christmas party. I think she's going to love it, it's beautiful, and Michelle said, "Dyna has lots of other buckles, but this will be her first with her name on it!" I'm happy we will provide that for her!

Thanks so much for all you do Dyna, it hasn't gone unnoticed!

Today is National Day of the Cowgirl. I know the Mounted Marshals have some of the very best! Here's to us and the amazing horses we ride!! 🥂🎉🐎❤️🤠

Last parade day for the Mounted Marshals for the 129th Cheyenne Frontier Days! This year has been a wonderful year. I want to take a moment to say how very thankful I am for the amazing riders and their horses that ride for Mounted. As their Assistant, I only look as good as they are and they make me look fabulous! I also want to thank the ground crew who handles our parking lot, radios, the horse ambulance drivers, beverages, and keeps us all fed. You make it easier for us to do our jobs out there on the parade route keeping things safe. I am definitely a lucky and blessed lady to have Mounted behind me. Thanks for all your support and respect. I know I will see you all down the trail!🤠❤️🐎

Saturday’s menu change is hot beef sandwiches at Parades cabin

Three parades down and one to go for the Mounted Marshals! Everone was looking sharp for "tough enough to wear pink" day. We may be a little short on riders this year, but what an amazing team we make!
