Ricochet Mounted Archers perform at the Equus and Overture in Nampa
NAMPA, Idaho — The Equus and Overture is an important fundraiser for the Idaho Horse Park Foundation at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa. At this event, they raise money through auctions, hand out awards, and dazzle the audience with a number of different demonstrations.
One of those demonstrations included the Ricochet Mounted Archers — this group of ladies fires an arrow at a target while riding their horses. Karen Sibernagel Danley started this group and that also features an interesting story.
“It was an exciting decision during COVID in 2020 — a few of my friends said ‘teach us mounted archery’,” said Karen. “We can socially distance and not worry about it so that was actually how mounted archery started here in the Treasure Valley.”
Mounted archery also led Karen on an interesting adventure as she traveled to Mongolia in 2023 to compete in the Spirit Games and also be a part of the support crew for Team USA in the world championships.
“The roots of mounted archery is in Mongolia with Ghengas Khan and it was fascinating to be in Mongolia,” said Karen. “There is also a lot of history with women in archery.”
This all-female team dazzles in their performance which includes Sianna Gable and her horse Obi-Wan Kenobi. Sianna has a passion for jumping so she incorporated that into the routine after she learned archery from Karen.
“Karen just came out to my house and taught me a lot on all my other horses and I eventually got this guy to come out and do it,” said Gable. “He’s great, he really is.”
The Equus and Overture’s theme this year was horses and all that jazz. Karen really enjoyed that aspect of performing their routine while the band played ‘Jump, Jive and Wail.’
“This is really fun because we put the music together with the horses and the archery,” said Karen.
At the event, Jon and Tanya Roeser were honored as the horsemen of the year by the Idaho Horse Park Foundation.
IDAHO FALLS — A large brush fire prompted the closure of a section of railroad tracks on Wednesday.
According to a news release from the Idaho Falls Fire Department, firefighters responded to the brush fire around 1:50 p.m. near the tracks off of North Haroldsen Drive. The fire reportedly threatened nearby structures and businesses.
When crews arrived, they encountered “multiple spot fires and burning debris across a dry grass area,” which created quickly changing conditions and challenging access.
Officials believe the fire was caused by metal work in the area, which produced sparks that ignited nearby dry grass.
The fire burned about 150 yards long and 800 feet wide, extending from a fence line toward the railroad tracks. Due to multiple spot fires, the total affected area has not yet been measured.
Fire crews deployed two Type 3 brush trucks, one Type 6 brush truck, one tactical tender, three Type 1 engines and a ladder truck. Dispatch coordinated with the railroad to halt train traffic in the area during suppression efforts.
Crews quickly contained the fire and stayed on scene to monitor conditions, extinguish hot spots and prevent rekindling due to continued wind. No significant property damage was reported.
“This was a fast-moving fire in a complex area to access, and our crews executed a strong, coordinated response,” said Idaho Falls Fire Chief Johan Olson in the release. “They did an outstanding job stopping the fire before it could impact nearby businesses or cause significant loss. With the unusually dry conditions we’re experiencing, we urge the public to treat current conditions more like mid-summer. Please use extreme caution with anything that could create sparks around dry vegetation.”
The Idaho Falls Fire Department reminds residents that increased heat, wind and dry conditions significantly elevate fire risk. Avoid activities that may produce sparks near dry grass, and report any signs of fire immediately.

Three-vehicle crash near Idaho Falls after driver fails to yield to school bus – East Idaho News
The following is a news release from Idaho State Police.
On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 6:48 a.m., Idaho State Police investigated a multi-vehicle crash, which occurred on U.S. Highway 26 near North 45th East, just east of Idaho Falls.
A 2017 Chevrolet Traverse, driven by a 32-year-old female from Ririe, was traveling westbound on Highway 26 when the driver failed to yield to a stopped school bus with lights operational for picking up children at a designated school bus pick-up. The Chevrolet Traverse struck the rear of a stopped 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by a 42-year-old male from Idaho Falls. The Silverado then struck the rear of the 2011 International School Bus, driven by a 43-year-old female from Idaho Falls.
All occupants were wearing a seatbelt. No children on the school bus were injured. The drivers of the Traverse and the Silverado were transported by ground ambulance to a local hospital.
The roadway was blocked for approximately 2 hours while emergency crews worked to clear the scene.
Idaho State Police was assisted by Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office, Idaho Falls Police Department, Idaho Falls Fire Department and Idaho Transportation Department.
