Featured Video: What People Think I Do

As horsepeople, there are a lot of misconceptions about what we do. The non-horsey folks seem to think we’re:

  1. Filthy Rich
  2. Somehow involved in Thoroughbred racing
  3. Stuck in our own unrealistic childhood dreams
  4. All of the above.



But it’s not just the equestrian-unacquainted who don’t quite grasp what we do. We’re often misunderstood by our trainers, our families, and at times, even our own selves.



This latest video from Evention TV shows a few of the ways riders are misunderstood by those around them. Can you relate?
