Before we get into the action, let’s rewind a bit. This isn’t just a story about riding trails—it’s about a unique partnership built over years of adventure.
Meet Zach and Maisey.

Zach is a mountain biker who rarely hits the trails alone. His riding partner?
Maisey, a four-year-old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever who doesn’t just keep up—she leads the charge. She’s not just a trail dog; she’s a seasoned traveler, a performer who has appeared in movies, music videos, and even Amazon ads. But no matter where life takes her, the trails are where she truly belongs.

Since Maisey was eight weeks old, she and Zach have been on a mission—exploring the best dog-friendly trails across the U.S.
No matter how busy life gets, they always make time to ride, even if it’s just a quick 30-minute session. At the top of every trail, there’s a moment—a shared glance, an unspoken question:
Are you ready? And then, in a blur of fur and wheels, they take off.
Maisey isn’t just running—she’s riding the trail like an artist at work. She carves berms, takes jumps, and reads the terrain with the instincts of a seasoned rider. Zach knows her every move, and she knows his. That’s synergy.
When Maisey barks mid-ride, Zach likes to think she’s cheering him on: Go, Dad, you got this! But, realistically? It’s probably more like: Hurry up, you’re making me look slow.
Every ride is a reminder that their time together on the trails is precious. Right now, Maisey is in her prime—this is her golden era. And Zach? He’s making the most of every single ride, because there’s nowhere else he’d rather be than right here, riding with his best friend.
