Hannah Learned Horseback Riding at a Young Age
The year that Hannah was born, her parents moved her out to a large ranch that was seated
on the edges of Los Angeles.
Living on this ranch gave Hannah a predilection for horseback riding starting from a very
young age.
The young girl began riding horses when she was only four years old.
Her interest in horseback riding led to her parents signed her up for professional lessons.
By the time her coming of age came around, Hannah had long since decided that she was
going to grow up to be a professional equestrian.
According to Hannah herself, she made the decision that she was going to become a professional
equestrian at the age of 14.
It was at that age that Hannah was forced to decide between what were then her two biggest
passions: ballet and horseback riding.
Hannah was proficient enough in both fields that she could’ve conceivably pursued a
career in either of them professionally.
In the end, it ended up being Hannah’s preference for riding horses that won out.
Tom Selleck was supportive of his daughter’s decision to become a professional equestrian,
but he was adamant that he was only going to support her in her endeavor if she took
it seriously.
Because of this, Hannah was pushed to become the best horseback rider that she possibly
could be.
Before pursuing a full-time career as a horseback rider, Hannah graduated from college at Loyola
Marymount University.
Hannah Is Now a Notable Horse Breeder Hannah may not have followed in famous father
Tom Selleck’s footsteps directly, but she has emulated her father’s work ethic in
her equestrian career.
According to Hannah herself, she wouldn’t be nearly the hard worker that she is today
without the influence of her father.
Over the course of her career as a professional equestrian, Hannah has had a staggering number
of victories.
Sadly, she faced a hurdle in 2018 due to a serious injury that she sustained.
In 2018, Hannah suffered a severe injury while horseback riding that made her question her
future as a professional equestrian.
Magnetic stirrups that didn't release properly caused the accident, and it resulted in Hannah
shattering both her fibula and her tibia.
After the incident, Hannah was told she might never be able to run again or even ride.
Thankfully, through a mix of traditional and alternative therapies, Hannah was able to
overcome her injuries.
However, she’s still hesitant about fully resuming her career as a professional equestrian.
Instead, Hannah has recently found another way to turn her love for horses into something
lucrative.
Alongside her father, Hannah has founded a horse-breeding operation.
The operation goes by the name of Descano Farm, and it’s pretty prestigious!
Hannah Has Also Done Some Modeling Work Working with horses is what Hannah is most
passionate about, but she also worked as a model on several occasions.
Hannah’s most notable work as a model saw her becoming the face of a company by the
name of Reviver.
Reviver is a company that makes wipes that remove odor from clothing.
Besides being the face of Reviver, Hannah has also modeled for such publications as
Equestrian Living.
During her childhood years, Hannah could often be seen gracing the red carpet alongside her
father.
Tom loved showing off his adoring daughter, and this was one of the few ways in which
fans were able to get a glimpse of their close relationship.
Now that Hannah is an adult, she makes far fewer appearances alongside her father publicly.
However, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t still close.

Kevin.
