In an interview withThe Cut, Madison revealed that she was homeschooled after seventh grade.
This allowed her to organize her time more freely and go riding a lot.
She toldEsquirethat both her mother and grandmother rode horses and that it was almost easier for her than walking.
I homeschooled myself so I could be in the stable with my pony all day, she said.
I felt called in a different direction.
