In 2017, I was contacted by a major stock photo library about becoming a contributor. After a call with the team, one of them spoke up and said, “We have one piece of feedback for you. We would like you to explore the idea of adding more racial diversity to your work. From your website, it looks like horseback riding is for rich white girls.”
He wasn’t wrong, so this project was born to raise awareness and support an inclusive and diverse equestrian community through equine stock images showing that horseback riding is for everyone, regardless of race.
This project is ongoing. Visit my Equestrians of Color page if you would like to be part of the project.
