Back in the Saddle
Boyd Martin rides again.
Everybody knows how important it is to get a good education.
For Boyd Martin, however, spending time in the classroom wasn’t
a preferred activity. “I was a terrible student, absolutely horrendous,” he
says. “When I finished high school,
there was no mention of college.”
Instead of pursuing a degree, Martin was “shipped off to a bunkhouse” in his native New South Wales, Australia, where he learned how to train horses. “It was obvious I wasn’t going to be an accountant or a brain surgeon,” he says.
