    this is such a huge accomplishment for a young woman in Palestina! thankyou FEI for giving Leila a video on your channel and helping her achieve her goals! Horseriding is way more than just a ''hobby'' or ''sport'' its bound breaking!

    Would be nice to see a success story of someone who made it simply through hard work and talent without the help of their rich and supportive parents who bought them nice horses from a very young age. That would be truly against the odds.

      A. Payne I don’t have anyone specific in mind. I like to hear about people I don’t already know. I know of a few European riders that got to the top without money, but because they had talent that got recognized and they trained their horses themselves. Those are the people that impress me.

      Mollie Shonebarger I admit I used to be jealous of the people that could just buy any horse when I was younger, but I’ve come to realize that these people most of the time hit a glass ceiling at one point and cannot ride the truly gifted horses because they are often difficult and they never had to deal with that. They usually fly through the lower levels but they cannot win at top level against the people who have trained their million dollar horses.

    How do people who wear hijabs do their hair/hijab for shows? I would think that you could just put it in your helmet and make sure nobody can see your hair. (Sorry if that’s not how it works! Always open to educating myself)
