An exciting new project from Strides for Equality Equestrians (SEE) is in the works, and it’s one we can’t wait to see more of! Spearheaded by Helen Casteel and supported by the whole crew at SEE, a new interview series, “Professional Pathways”, will highlight the stories of equestrians of color from all walks of life.
First on the list is artist, journalist, Global Programs Associate for Just World International Tori Repole. To make sure you’re on the email list to receive these in-depth interviews, sign up for the SEE mailing list at the bottom of their homepage here.
