Secret (and Not-So-Secret) Celebrity Equestrians

We want to saddle up our horses and throw on our breeches to ride with these iconic celebrities who love the majestic animals just as much as we do! Horses heal the soul and every time we get the opportunity to be with horses and have the pleasure to ride them, we do not take the moment for granted. 

 It is no wonder that equine-assisted therapy is common and continues to grow in popularity. Research has shown that interaction with a horse can reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, PTSD and encourage individuals to trust and connect again. Of course, like humans, horses can make mistakes (that could result with you on the ground) but that is where we practice forgiveness, patience and understanding. For as Olivia Wilde once said, “When you fall off a horse, you get back up.” Thus, it is hardly surprising why so many people and celebrities love to go horseback riding and have a deep love and appreciation for the noble animal.

Singer Leona Lewis continues to ride her horse despite a fall she had last year. She has been a rider since her youth.

Its no secret that the Kardashian-West clan spend their time at their ranch in beautiful Wyoming. Their daughter North continues her equestrian training in California and Wyoming.

Both Bella and sister Gigi Hadid have been avid riders from a young age. Bella continues to ride recreationally when taking a break from her busy jet-set schedule. We love the special bond between her and her horse Blue.

Jamie Foxx on his horse Cheetah. As a skilled rider, Foxx rode his own horse while filming Django. Here’s some more social footage of him taking a ride on Cheetah.

As huge fans of The Row, we were thrilled to learn of Mary Kate Olsens’s consistent equestrian practice. She even placed in a competition last year!
