Hellbitch was the name of Captain William Clark’s horse during the Lewis & Clark expedition.

She was known for being:

• strong-willed

• tough as hell

• impossible for most men to ride

Despite her difficult temperament, Clark favored her for her endurance and wild spirit. She was the very definition of a “badass mare” in the wilderness.

Today, “hellbitch” can be a badge of honor. It refers to a fierce, independent woman who:

• won’t be broken

• leads her own damn trail

Think: part outlaw, part survivor, full sovereign.
