to be fair, i know the family and she's actually quite a good equestrian and used to be a nationally touring/competing equestrian, as was Gigi. Definitely would be happy to see them in that role, rather than as models--at least they have the practice
It probably would have made more sense for them to stick to equestrianism then. I know there's a lot of talk about equestrianism being an Olympic sport limited to the rich, but you still can't buy a medal. They'd have to earn a spot on the team more than they've had to work earning a spot on the runway I think. I was also a bit confused that this came out less than a year before Rio, is that really enough time to prepare or is she still devoting more time to riding than to modelling? I thought the teams would be made by now but this was not a sport I competed in so I don't know all the ins and outs.
