Did you catch the stunning winged horse and rider at the 2023 Fall Phantasm? If not, don’t worry—Riley, the horse, and his rider, Meghan Namaste, are returning in 2024 as performers and sponsors! Meghan, who owns Namaste Barefoot Trimming in the Upper Peninsula, offers barefoot trimming, composite shoeing, and a place to help horses where conventional farriery can sometimes fall through the cracks.

As her business grows, Meghan is passionate about giving back, and sponsoring the Fall Phantasm allows her to support the arts and the Fringe community, which has provided her inspiration. “It’s such a beautiful thing when individuality and being “different” is not only accepted but celebrated… in that environment, there is such an opportunity for growth.” She encourages everyone to attend with an open mind and curiosity, ready to embrace the unique experience. You will also see Meghan light the stage later in the evening as a new member of the Lucid Fyre Bellators.
