2023 saw this young superstar has completed the family sweep, joining brother Hayden and father Obrey as World Champions, as Ethan won his first World Outriding Championship. He won show championships at the Bonnyville Chuckwagon Championship with his father Obrey, and was a major part of Chanse Vigen’s historic run that won the Grande Prairie Stompede, Ponoka Stampede and Battle of the Rockies.
Ethan is a two time recipient of the Rod Glass Memorial Award symbolic of the WPCA’s Most Improved Outrider, and was the WPCA Top Rookie Outrider in 2016 – the same year he made his first official ride behind his father Obrey Motowylo at the Grande Prairie Stompede.
Ethan credits 5-time World Champion outrider Chanse Vigen as being the most helpful and influential over his outriding career. A former wild pony racer, Ethan works as a farrier and enjoys team roping and breaking horses in the off-season. He has a girlfriend named Jayda and makes his home in Hoadley, Alberta.
