Jackie Ayala hugs her horse Louis Vouitton after practice at El Rancho Unico in Atascosa, Texas on March 26, 2015. "It is hard to protect them in such a dangerous sport, but what takes away from the danger is hard work in practice," her father and the team's coach Jimmy Ayala said. "This sport helped her get through when I got divorced from her mom nine years ago. It is what kept us so close."
