She’s strong, confident and has worked hard to get to the top of the equestrian industry. As a mother, a wife, a trainer and a champion hunter professional, Hope is a wonder woman at keeping everyone on the right schedule. She may be based in California, but she racks up the miles traveling around the country showcasing her multitude of talented horses. Sidelines caught up with the talented rider who keeps it upbeat by sharing her love for the sport with her family and young clients. When did you start riding? I started riding when I was five-years-old in my backyard. My mother had ridden Western growing up and wanted to share her passion for horses so she went ahead and graciously bought me a fat Welsh cross. That was until that fat pony ended up not fat, but pregnant! So we soon had two ponies.

I didn’t have a glamorous junior career, but I had a great time Carson City, Nevada. Photos by Lindsay McCall growing up with horses in my backyard.
