Madison MacDonald-Thomas

10-Time NFR Trick Rider, 5-Time PRCA Act of the Year nominee and Platinum client since 2021

Hailing from Alberta, Canada, Maddie — as she’s known — is truly an example of the American dream. The daughter of a mother who not only rode horses but also worked for the Calgary Stampede and produced Wild West shows, you could say that Maddie’s future career performing stunts on horseback was a pre-determined destiny. Maddie began trick riding lessons at just 6 years old, sealing her fate and the trajectory of her career. In tandem with her budding passion for trick riding, Maddie found a love for reining horses and worked her way up the ranks in high school rodeo running barrels, tying goats and roping in both the breakaway and team roping. Nearly two decades later, Maddie and her act are a fixture at major rodeos across the U.S. and a constant presence at the annual Wrangler National Finals Rodeo where she stirs the crowd inside the Thomas & Mack.

Why I Choose Platinum?

“Platinum was the first thing that the vets put my horse Numby on when he got Potomac Fever and we almost lost him. We were diligent with it, and it was wild to see his coat and his health come back. Truthfully, he looks better than he ever has. I haven’t seen his coat and coloring get this much black in it for over 10 years, but since getting him on the Platinum, he looks amazing.”
