Cynthia McFarlane, Equine Mediator & Barrister, was driven to combine her passion for horses with her passion for law. Having overcome the odds as a black female in a white male-dominated profession, she now faced the challenge of working as a black lawyer in the horse world where black people struggle to find acceptance with riding schools, racehorse stadiums and polo clubs to name just a few. The purpose: 1) to encourage a black child or adult of any background who has a passion to ride horses or wants that freedom, to empower them and to give them a sense of belonging; 2) to build a conversation that leads to governing bodies making significant changes in the industry; 3) to provide a legacy for the next generation or family.
