How Hannah Selleck Got Into Horse Riding?

Even when she went to college, she decided to stay close so she could stay with the trainer she was with.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter in Oct 2015, explaining how she came to love horse riding, Hanna said,
The connection. I loved being around the animals, and as a kid, taking care of different ponies and hanging out at the barn all day. The whole riding culture. You’re spending so much time one on one caring for the horses, so I fell in love with that. As I progressed in the sport, I fell in love with the competition itself.
Selleck and Jillie’s daughter got her start in the show ring at the age of 10. And at 16, she learned to ride at Foxfield Riding School in Westlake Village, California. Ms. Selleck then trained with Mark Bone at Huntover and Karen Healey at the start of her amateur career.

Hannah Selleck Has Her Own Horse Breeding Business
In addition to focusing mainly on her Equestrian career and goals, Hannah also has a breeding program in Hidden Valley, California by the name Descanso Farm. Selleck found it in 2010. Its names come from her family’s Rancho de Descanso, which means “Ranch of Rest.”
There she develops young horses to bring along and sell.

Her young horses for Descano, though, are generally based in New Mexico since the drought in California makes it hard to find grass for them.
It was her actor father who encouraged her to start a breeding business and he was a big supporter of this idea. Hannah started with a couple of top older Grand Prix horses that had brought her along in her career, and when they weren’t able to do their job anymore, she decided to breed them.
By late 2015, Hannah had about seven babies ranging from 4-year-olds to one. Some of them now have become top horses for Hannah herself. I’m not doing it on a huge scale where I have 40 horses; it’s about 12 horses so it’s a boutique operation based in Hidden Valley.
Today, Descanso Farm-bred horses are competing successfully throughout the U.S. and Europe. Over the years, Selleck and Descanso Farm have also transitioned the program’s focus to the development of top-quality sales horses and the advancement of horses’ show careers.
Selleck Also Does Charities And Is An Activist
Hannah is also into Charity through horse riding. She often competes in Charity Pro-Am Styling Competition.
In addition to pursuing equestrian success, Selleck is also passionate about making a difference and serves as an ambassador for Brooke USA. It is also a charity program with a focus on improving the welfare of horses, donkeys, and mules in the developing world.
Hannah Selleck Is Also A Model

Further, she also has been on the cover of Equestrio. She, however, is not into it full time as she once mentioned all of her time going into the horses.
She initially did modeling to help out some friends, and now seldom does it for my sponsors.
Selleck’s Injury
Jillie and Selleck’s daughter, Hannah experienced a minor setback after breaking her leg in a show-jumping competition in early July 2018.
The accident happened when a horse refused to jump and quickly turned, after which Selleck’s foot got stuck in the magnetic stirrup. As a result, Miss Selleck broke both her fibula and tibula when her stirrup didn’t release properly in a fall.
Hannah then had to endure six hours of surgery and then had to go through aggressive physical therapy. The injury sidelined the Californian-born athlete from competition for seven months.
Selleck eventually recovered through both traditional medicine and technology as well as alternative therapies. Hannah was back successfully competing in early 2019.

Nic is also big on philanthropy as he is an ambassador for both the Kids Cancer Foundation and Brooke USA, the world’s biggest equine welfare charity.

Roldan who is also a lover of horses has hosted events such as ‘Horses and Horsepower,’ increasing awareness for the sport he loves and opening the game to a wider audience of players, spectators, and other devotees.
Selleck was last seen attending her boyfriend Roldan playing the Beach Polo World Cup in sunny Miami Beach in May 2022. She was watching her partner from the stands at Collins Park. The 2019 HITS Coachella Desert Circuit winner watched a semi-final match just before Roldan was up next to play and won his semi-final match.
