Robin’s childhood explored
Robin was born in Australia but later moved to America where he now lives with his family.
During the Netflix documentary, he said: “I grew up with horses always around me. I was raised in a little country town in Australia.“
Robin described his younger self as “A loner who couldn’t speak that well who people called the runt of the litter.“
He added: “When you can’t communicate with other people you’re ostracised a little bit. That’s why I was pushed to my grandparents to try and change my life.“
Speaking of his grandfather, Robin said that he looked up to him. But, he’d never seen love in his grandad’s eyes. Robin said: “It’s always been in the back of my mind what my granddad had said to me – you’ll amount to nothing.“
Though Robin and his grandfather’s relationship may not have been loving, he said that his grandmother encouraged him to believe in himself and to work with horses.
