Person. Passion. Purpose. Profit.
Why Bold Embers Exists
The numbers speak volumes — and reveal a global gap.
Today, the representation of multi-ethnic athletes in international equestrian championships — from the Rolex Grand Slam, Longines Global Champions Tour, and FEI World Cup to the Commonwealth Games — is virtually non-existent.
Not because talent is lacking. Far from it.
Across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, millions of multi-ethnic riders — including Black, Asian, Latino/Hispanic, Native American, and bi-racial athletes — possess the elite capability to compete.
But talent without infrastructure is wasted potential. The financial pathway has never existed — until now.
Bold Embers Equestrian was created to rewrite that equation.
As a female-founded, private equity-backed venture, we are forging new routes into elite equestrian sport by investing directly in EMBERS:
Experienced Multi-Ethnic and Black Equestrian Riders.
This isn’t charity. It’s strategic disruption.
Where there was once exclusion, we engineer entry. Where there was untapped fandom, we build monetisable audiences.
Where there were legacy barriers, we create generational breakthroughs.

BOLD EMBERS - PAST
OLIVER LEWIS, an AFRICAN-AMERICAN, was the first US Kentucky Derby winner in 1875.
He was an EMBER that sparked the flame for competitive rider - Isaac Murphy, winner of three Kentucky Derby from 1884-1891.
Murphy’s outstanding performance resulted in his recognition in the US Riding Jockey Hall of Fame.
...AND PRESENT
