Myah Jane Chaput began her show career aboard a Paint mare named Sodak Robin McCue, and called Catori around the barn. Though she’d ridden other horses, it was Catori who made then five-year-old Myah realize just how deeply her passion for all things equine ran. Already active with local open shows, the pair readied themselves to step onto a bigger stage. Catori went to Christa Baldwin for training and, at about the same time, Myah’s mom, Stacy Chaput, began showing with the Michigan Quarter Horse Association. Little did anyone know this would be a fan to the flame of Myah’s already burning passion.
