Enelow-Snyder,Sarah. “Teaching the next generation of Black horseback riders”
Washingtonpost.com, 2, Aug. 2022,
https://www.washingtonpost.com/magazine/2022/08/02/black-horseback-riders-history/
This article summarizes Ahesahmahk Dahn a black horseman, he has been for decades. He
talks about how cowboy culture was made by Hollywood, yet Dahn says this has been a tradition
that goes back centuries. He goes in-depth about his childhood and what led him to horse riding
at the City Ranch, he tells children stories about Black men working with horses. It also follows
Morgan 13, and Mariah 11, their parents discovered City Ranch and the girls fell in love and how
this affects their career path. Lastly, Brittaney Logan and her experience of how she was
introduced to the club and introduced it to her son with the outcome of a life-changing
experience for both. The source “Teaching the next generation of Blackhorseman riders” is
relevant since it was published in 2022, which brings awareness to hidden Black Culture. The
author of this source is clearly reliable due to her past work on an essay in the anthology “Horse
Girls”. I think this a great information source for people of color who want to get into horse
riding or are just curious about horses and their culture.
