I don’t want it to die – The black teen pioneer preserving cavalry sport

In a world where traditional cavalry sports are slowly fading into obscurity, one young black teen is determined to preserve the legacy and importance of these historic equestrian events.

Meet Maria Jackson, a 17-year-old from a small town in Texas, who has dedicated her life to training and competing in cavalry sports, such as reining and cutting.

Despite facing discrimination and lack of representation in the predominantly white equestrian world, Maria has become a trailblazer, breaking barriers and inspiring other young people of color to pursue their passions in the sport.

Through her hard work and dedication, Maria has become a role model for her peers and a source of inspiration for those who share her love for horses and the art of cavalry.

She believes that preserving these traditions is not only important for the equestrian community but also for the preservation of black history and culture.

By participating in competitions, giving talks at schools, and organizing community events, Maria is on a mission to ensure that cavalry sports continue to thrive for generations to come.

Despite the challenges she faces, Maria remains resolute in her commitment to keeping the legacy of cavalry sports alive and vibrant.

As she continues to make her mark on the equestrian world, Maria hopes to inspire other young people to embrace their heritage and pursue their dreams, no matter the obstacles they may face.
