#8 Sean Hildreth

8 — Sean Hildreth from Bend, Oregon.

Sean began mushing in 2018 with Alpine Adventure Dog Sledding, Austin Forney’s kennel in Leadville, Colorado. “The first day of training, I fell in love with the dogs and the musher life,” he says. In 2022, Sean began working with dogs for Rachael and Jerry Scdoris at the Oregon Trail of Dreams. He also raced their dog team. “Oregon and the kennel are my home, and the dogs are my family.”  He’s been busy these past two seasons, including winning first place at the American Dog Derby and the Bachelor Butte Dog Derby two consecutive years.
