Our Team

CEO / Chief Equine Officer

Aaron, a Loveland, Colorado native, is the founder and driving force behind Horse&Halo. With 17 years of experience in sales and marketing, he brings both strategic insight and an uncommon level of empathy to an industry where both matter deeply. What began as a shift away from corporate life quickly became a mission-driven business: providing professional, compassionate care for horses and the humans who love them.

Today, Horse&Halo is a respected provider of equine transport and aftercare services, trusted by veterinarians, owners, breeders, and rescues across the country. As CEO and lead hauler, Aaron isn’t just one of the drivers behind the wheel—he’s the one behind the vision, ensuring every client interaction reflects the care and credibility the brand is known for.

When he’s not logging miles or fielding logistics, Aaron spends his time with his wife and two children—who provide excellent feedback, even if most of it is unsolicited.

Operations Manager / Cremations / Driver

Trisha Ekema has been a certified veterinary technician since 2015, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge in small animal specialty medicine and a true passion for large animal care—where she truly shines. Born and raised in a small town in Michigan, Trisha followed her heart west to the majestic Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

She now lives on a small farm with her horses and her cow dogs. When she’s not working, you’ll find her at local ropings, enjoying time with good friends and family, or putting in the hard work of building her own homestead.

Trisha came to Horse & Halo with a big heart and a deep desire to help people navigate the emotional journey of saying goodbye to their beloved equine partners. Along with providing support in those difficult moments, she also helps keep the office running smoothly and transports horses between locations.

Trisha’s warmth, work ethic, and dedication to both animals and their people make her an invaluable part of the Horse & Halo family. We’re proud to have her riding with us.

Nationwide Driver

Bryant, originally from the wide-open landscapes of New Mexico, brings a steady hand and a calm presence to the Horse&Halo team. A natural behind the wheel, Bryant has spent years as an over-the-road trucker, where he developed not only expert driving skills, but a deep appreciation for the rhythm of the road—and the responsibility that comes with it.

His passion for safety and the well-being of large animals made Horse&Halo a natural fit. Here, Bryant combines his love of long-haul driving with his care for horses, ensuring every transport is handled with professionalism, patience, and precision. Whether he's navigating mountain passes or easing a nervous gelding into the trailer, Bryant approaches every task with the same grounded focus.

When he’s not hauling, Bryant enjoys time with his girlfriend, grinding on XBOX and fine-tuning his immaculate Subaru WRX STI—a machine that, much like his work, runs on precision and pride.
