Born 1982 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and raised in Marion, was the beautiful adored Riley Smith. His parents were Russ and Roxanne Smith, along with his brother Raquel Ever since he could remember he has had an uncontrollable love for horses. After all, he did grow up in a small town on a horse farm:)
In 1995 at 16 years old, he became a huge part of the American Quarter Horse Youth Assosiation (AQHYA). Although still attending Alburnett High School, Riley didn't let that stop him from doing what he loved. As time went on and Riley got better and better and won an AQHYA World Championship Title, he then became the Corresponding VP of the AQHYA until 1996. Later he then became the PRESIDENT of the AQHYA! Now that to you probably doesn't seem very fascinating but let me tell you- he was the 1st and youngest President of the AQHYA, and also, the AQHYA is the largest breeding regisrty in the world, so that my friend is a big accmplishment for our cute little Riley Smith. Besides the fact that Riley's first talent, being a hot cowboy, he also was many times encouraged by his friends to consider modeling. (And we're very glad he did!) And knowing Riley, he packed his bags to the big apple and was set to model for Palzileri, Tommy Hilfiger, Armani, but possibly his biggest break was when he was noticed on a Paco Sports Billboard that was up in NY's time Square. After that big debut of his, he then started acting and appeared in many movies, such as Wild Grizzly, Lover's Lane, Motocrossed, Eight Legged Freaks, Bring It On, and many more.
