I'm actually an equestrian, and I showed in the American Paint Horse Association and competed for top 20 in the nation.
I've always loved horses.
My first ambition was to be a show jumper. I did a bit of dressage as part of it, and the dressage trainer saw me and said, 'Why are you wasting your time with the other stuff? You should be concentrating on this.'
I'd like to play a horse, many people think I already have. Either end of the horse would be fine.
Horses are the brand value of 'Wertheimer Freres.'
I could hang with horses all day.
My favorite horse was Zenyatta. She got me hooked.
I ride horses, I love horses, I've owned horses.
At first I wanted to be a jockey. I rode horses in Cleveland but I kept falling off and I was afraid of horses. So there wasn't much of a future in it.
I got to a point where I was doing county-level shows, but it was dressage that I really loved where, effectively, the horses are dancing. At one point, I was a groom for Hannah Esberger, who has competed for Great Britain and has seven national championship titles.
Yes, I've just bought a new horse, named Jedi.
Guys want a 500 horsepower car. I'd rather have one horsepower - in a horse. That's macho. You go to pick up your date and you show up on a horse.
I was very successful at three-day events, point-to-points, Pony Club, and gymkhana. But then I went to college, and because I had really good horses, they weren't going to be left in the field, so they were sold.
I remember some people after the Olympics that had no idea about horses would ask, 'Do you do that with the horse, or does the horse do it by itself?' I think the fact that you can make it look like you are doing nothing is a real talent. And it is such a massive reward at the end of it.
I gallop and jump and ride young horses with intense pleasure.
I have five horses. My first was a professional jumper named Santos. I got him when I was 18.
So, I have my own horse and two ponies. I grew up around horses, and that really is my passion.
I wouldn't mind doing a film revolving around horses, but I wouldn't dilute my equity just sitting on one.
I view anything on this farm as model. I actually painted Union Rags as a yearling.
I grew up riding. From the time I was nineteen years old to the time I was twenty five I exercised race horses.
Yeah, I'd been around horses most of my life.
I had one lesson with Devil's Horsemen, who do a lot of the horse-riding stuff for films. They train actors to look reasonable on horses. They do 'Game of Thrones', everything.
I have four horses, and they are my everything.
I started as a working pupil in a yard, mucking out and doing all the duties... and I just never gave up on my dream.
I've had quarter horses for the last 18 years.
