Stella McCartney is a well-known name in the field of fashion design, but that’s more than her role in the welfare of society. The acclaimed designer develops sustainable and ethical designs, and since founding her line in 2001, she has become one of the most successful fashion designers in the world. She stands out because of her dedication to ethical manufacturing practices and her use of eco-friendly materials which contributes to her Equestrian interests.

Horses played a significant role in her childhood recollections as the daughter of Sir Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney. Stella and her family are huge horse fans, so they’ve made horses a central part of their lifestyle. Paul uploaded a song called “3 Legs” to his YouTube account, and Stella included it in a recent Instagram post she wrote on the therapeutic benefits of horses.

Stella has worked with the charity Never Alone (UK) since she was not just a fashion designer but also an advocate for equestrian therapy. Her mother, the photographer Linda McCartney, was a pioneer in color photography, which made its way into print media for the first time thanks to her work. Stella selected a clip from her father Paul’s music video for the song “3 Legs,” in which her parents can be seen riding horses and making happy moments together.

Stella’s main motivation for promoting horse therapy stems from her own personal experience with it. Horses were the ones that assisted her when she was feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and depression. She is certain that horses can help individuals of all ages and walks of life overcome their physical and mental challenges because of her own experiences with them.
