He made the choice to pursue the sport professionally in his last semester at Stanford. Right before finishing school, he competed in a show and won. Later he said…
That was the okay, “we’re capable of this”. The horse is incredible. We need to keep it going and set goals. I thought, if I can win a million-dollar grand price without doing this full time, then I think I owe it to myself and my horse to give it my undivided attention. That was the beginning of it all.
Jennifer Gates is focusing on her studies at the moment. She published a research paper in January 2020. About the love for the sport Jennifer Gates shares with her fiancé, she told CNN’s EQ equestrian:
Horses are just one part of our life, but we love the sport. He’s a professional, and I do this as an amateur. So, to be able to share our love and passion for horses with each other is just incredible.
