Our Story

With a mission to empower female athletes and fuel their growth, Casey Brown’s Dark Horse freeride event and Academy brings together the world’s best female MTB athletes alongside emerging talents, creating a platform where dreams become reality.

Dark Horse 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025 were all game-changers.

We have watched up-and-coming riders break through—and now they’re throwing down at Rampage, Natural Selection, Back Yard Battles, Darkfest, Hardline, World Cups and more.


This is what happens when talent meets opportunity.​ So what’s next?


Dark Horse 2026 is coming—and it’s bigger, bolder, and full of new ways to rise.


Massive changes. New venues and countries. Real opportunities. You’re not gonna want to miss this!

DARK HORSE
COMMUNITY

Casey and the women of Freeride are building a community - a movement.
We are on a mission for inclusion, progression and to push the limits. 
Dark Horse was born to shake things up. To challenge the status quo, amplify women’s voices in freeride, and prove that limits are just starting lines.
