My name is October Hartline and I am twenty years old. I was born and raised in a small town called Chattanooga in Tennessee. I attended a public middle and high school until I transfered to community college after finishing my Sophmore year. I am so grateful that this allowed me to graduate with my high school diploma along with an Associates degree of science. After graduating, I craved more opportunities than I could find in my hometown. And so, with the help of my parents I moved west.

Life in California has allowed me to meet people that have helped me explore myself and my passion of modeling. Outside of modeling, I make efforts to spread awareness about mental health and addiction in my community. Coming from lived experiences myself, I truly found modeling to be privilege. Therefore, it is so important to help my community by presenting them opportunities. I also love learning by participating in different activities such as reading, writing, yoga, weight lifting, running, dancing, riding horses, and creating art. As I search for what the future has planned for me, modeling greatly helps to explore and express my inner creativity. I enjoy modeling a variety of different styles to grow diversity within my skills.

I owe nearly everything to my background of 11 years in the equine industry. I began taking horse riding lessons when I was 6 years old, I took a brief break while moving, and now I am back to riding regularly. I spent years riding a variety of different horses, trying almost discipline out there, competing in different disciplines, and training with the top professionals in the industry. I found the key to my heart in vaulting and eventing. But, when I wasn't riding I worked as a farm hand. A life with horses has taught me more than anyone could ever teach me. It has always been my outlet, which shaped the confidence and independence I have today.
