In this article from Horsin’ Around New Mexico’s April, 2016 edition, Top Trail Horse Program Member, Dawn Hagen, was featured when her horse, Conquistador, won Top Trail Horse for January, 2016.
Conquistador was very pleased to hear he’d won Top Trail Horse! He worked very hard to win. We were both very excited to win!

I’m still a Top Trail Member, however, my Mighty Conquistador was put down in October, 2018, at the age of 18. He’d had a pastern break that NEVER came back to riding form. Finally, our vet let us know we tried all we could.
I truly believed I’d never find another Conquistador again: and I was right! I did, however, find a beauty looking for a home exactly one month after Conquistador’s passing. You might know her as Layla! We’ve yet to make any news, but when we do, I’ll post it here first!
About Dawn E. Hagen
I've been riding for over 40 years and have picked up a few tips and tricks over that time. I’m no pro by any means, but I’ve got all sorts of fun facts and information to share. I've been a barrel racer, a hunter/jumper, a dressage student, a race horse exerciser, a stall cleaner, and (my favorite), a good ole trail rider. I'm now writing content on topics related to trail riding, mileage tracking, riders, program sponsors, and the horses we all love so well. I'm a mother of 3 (now adult) kiddos, and two adorable grandchildren: all of whom I adore. I live with my boyfriend and best friend, Tim, in Las Cruces New Mexico. We have two very spoiled dogs and my Top Trail Horse, the lovely Miss Layla.
