Martha Lambert

Martha Lambert initially learned to ride horses by falling off and getting back on when she was eight years old. By age 18, Martha was working at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, grooming horses and driving carriages. Working at the park sparked Martha's desire to compete in the Rolex-3 Day Event, a prestigious three-day equestrian event. In the meantime, she learned the leather trade, making harnesses and repairing saddles. She eventually opened her own leather shop, which she ran for 10 years.

One day, a customer came into the shop and told her he had just purchased a horse. He invited her to come and ride it and "since he was really cute, I said yes." Martha and the cute customer, John Lambert, later married and moved to his parents' farm, Lands End. Martha sold her shop and committed herself to building up a facility at Land End Farm

Horses, "it's in your blood" ~ Martha
