About

Hey There!

I’m Rachael—the founder/owner of River Runs Show Pads LLC. Horses have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I stepped into the inescapable world of horse showing as a youth with my mom’s old pleasure horse, Pokey, a 1982 AQHA Gelding by “Otoe Charge On”. After Pokeys retirement, I began showing my heart horse, Sly, a 1997 APHA Gelding by “Here To Impress”. Both of those horses carried me through my youth years in our local fair and open shows. Currently I show my dream horse, Mazie, a 2019 bay mare by Peace Out Man. She began her show career in 2024 and exceeded all my expectations, earning a NSBA Congress Championship, a Reserve AQHA Congress Championship, and an NSBA Highpoint Award. She is the inspiration behind River Runs Show Pads. When I’m not managing River Runs, you’ll find me out on Lake Erie with my family, behind the camera, or in the show pen with my girl, Mazie.
