Since Tom Selleck encouraged his children to follow their hearts, his daughter, Hannah Margaret Selleck, has done just that. She’s now an equestrian making her living breeding, training, and competing with horses.
Like many girls, Hannah fell in love with horses very young, at age 4. She trained at a Westlake Village, California equestrian academy called Foxfield Riding School, and started participating in show jumping competitions at 14. Now she wins medals internationally, and when home, she runs Descanso Farm, the boutique horse-breeding and training ranch she founded. She has her parents, Tom and Jillie Mack, to thank for it. “From a young age, they always encouraged me to follow my passion, and my passion is the horses,” she told Palm Beach Illustrated. After graduating from Loyola Marymount University and deciding horses were her passion, “my father said he would help support me but that I had to turn professional, letting go of my amateur status,” she explained. She trained with some of the best athletes in the business. “Now I have my own breeding operation, which my dad encouraged me to start when some of my top mares retired.”

Whether or not “equestrian” can be considered a “totally normal job,” it’s certainly one outside the Hollywood spotlight. But Hannah isn’t completely removed from the bright lights — and not just because she’s Tom’s daughter. She’s also done work as a model, including a cover shoot and a full 10-page spread in Horse & Style Magazine in July 2020.
