I freakin' love this.

FINALLY some awareness, as the article states, of POC in the outdoor world, including horses.

All the horse catalogues I've been getting for decades used ONLY white models. And, as a white woman, I NEVER EVEN REALLY NOTICED! That's the issue, right? White culture as the default. FINALLY they are included POC, including this cool dude!

Same with our other outdoor catalogues.

Can't wait to go read the article! Thanks!
