Boisjoli-Meged recounts buying Clark sight unseen as a three-year-old—after a casual Instagram message from Liz Hirdes—and laughing when husband Haven Meged asked, “What are you going to do with this pony?” From there, the so-called “ugliest horse on the place” became one of her most talented, topping three of four rounds in Hamilton, including the clean slate finals.
The episode also explores Boisjoli-Meged’s longtime belief in the Kit Kat Sugar line, which has become a cornerstone of her futurity success, and how she balances an intense ProRodeo schedule with building the next generation of champions.
“Last winter just about kicked my butt,” she admits with a laugh, “but now we’ve got an army of good ones. You could throw a rock in the pasture, hit one, saddle it, and go win something.”
Whether you’re a breeder, trainer, or breakaway fan, this episode offers a firsthand look at the horses and horsewomen pushing the sport forward.
