Ford has been around horses all his life, starting with what he describes as ‘Ranch type horses’ and followed his mother into Endurance when he was around ten years old. He explains: “My younger brother and I travelled around the USA in a motorhome during the summer doing
endurance rides. We did events like the Big Horn 100, Old Dominion 100 and the Tevis Cup. Endurance gets you out in beautiful country on the back of a horse. You spend time in nature with a horse there are not many sports better than that.”
