Nick Rivera
Nick discovered his passion for horses at a young age. A third-generation horseman, Nick remembers sitting by and listening to his father recount vivid stories from his days working as a jockey in Ruidoso, New Mexico. These early experiences were the starting blocks for a lifelong journey in horsemanship.
While working to complete his bachelor’s in biochemistry and biology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he worked at a local equestrian center and volunteered at a local therapeutic riding facility. It was through this love of horses he met his wife Kayla.
After graduating, Nick continued his work with horses while working other jobs until making it a professional focal point in 2018, focusing on bringing educational content to the equestrian world digitally.
