How did she influence others?

“I think my victory happened for a reason,” she says. “It has given women hope in some regard, and hopefully it will help change people’s mindsets. People think [women] are not strong enough [but] it’s not all about strength. There is so much more involved: getting the horse into a rhythm, getting the horse to try for you — it’s being patient.” -Michelle Payne
