Early life
[edit]Chris Pratt was born in Belfountain, Ontario. At a very young age, Pratt showed a keen interest in horses. When his father inherited a farm north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Pratt finally got his wish to have a horse of his own. His father traded four goats for what would become a lifelong commitment to the sport of show jumping. The first sign that Pratt was destined to be a strong competitor came in 1994 when he topped the Kanatek Talent Squad and also won the Firestone Development Scholarship.
Pratt currently lives in Los Angeles, California where he rides and coaches at his own barn, Epic Stables.[3]
