Help? Famous Equestrians?
So I have been riding for eleven years, and I want to continue riding as a career. However, upon telling my father this, he told me I was being “unrealistic” and that no one rides and is able to own horses. So I want to send him a list of people who have made their careers from riding (but were not born into it). Do you think you all could help me out? Just with suggestions of people, and info on how they started, their claim to fame, things holding them back, etc. I just want to prove to him that my horseback riding is serious, and he should take it that way.
Here is a list (just a few tooooo many to list)just for the people who are making a living with Morgan horses.
Hope this helps you!
