The actor was leaving his career to be present in the life of his daughter, so he left Magnum P.I. His little girl started riding at 4 years old and made the decision to train seriously at 14.
After she finished high school, and after taking a public relations course, Hanna decided to pursue her career as an equestrian competitor. She began competing in international events.
START A BUSINESS
Parallel to her sports career, she started a small breeding stable boutique in Hidden Valley with her father. The support of her father has been fundamental in her life, he has always encouraged her to pursue her dreams.
Although she likes modeling, she has never dreamed of having a Hollywood career like her parents. They made an effort to raise her as normal as possible, due to the type of work of her parents and the risks that being in that environment entails for the children.
BREEDER IN NEW MEXICO
The Selleck family's horse breeding business is based in Hidden Valley, California, however, they eventually brought several of the younger horses to New Mexico.
The drought problems in California led breeders to make this decision as horses, while they are small, need good pastures and fields to feed and grow. Hanna has become one of the names that ring in the equestrian circuits.
