The outsider who became an equestrian champion

In this video, we meet 15-year-old Zoie Brogdon, a young Californian, proud Compton Cowboy and a force to be reckoned with in the competitive equestrian world.

We learn about her passion for riding, her competitive spirit and, most importantly, the experience of being a young Black woman in a space typically dominated by white, affluent riders.

The video is a reminder that, no matter how different from others you may feel, you are valuable in your own right, and deserve to have a chance to express your talents, in whichever field they may lie.
