Two I haven’t seen mentioned yet:
Robert Duvall once trained with Rodney Jenkins and has a gorgeous farm in Middleburg, VA where he and his wife keep horses and cattle.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a farm in Virginia as well and owns Thoroughbreds. I don’t know if he rides himself, but I believe is in business with Eventer Will Coleman.
Has anyone mentioned Davy Jones?
Katherine Heigl does some lower level dressage and keeps her horses at home in Utah.
At least two of the Kardashians ride, though I don’t know if they count as actors! I believe it’s Khloe and Kiley but I could be wrong
Channing Tatum rides Western and got a horse for his birthday named Cajun.
Kate Bosworth (Blue Crush, Superman Returns, etc) used to ride before becoming an actress (one of my old trainers was her trainer)
If we’re including musicians, Lady Gaga also rides (Western, I think, and got a horse for her birthday) and so does Iggy Izalea (whose song “Fancy” is the only thing that makes my horse pin her ears and nash her teeth, oddly enough)
Shania Twain used to take her horse on tour with her.
Elsa Pataky (Fast & Furious franchise, also Chris Hemsworth’s wife) rides and they have horses at home in Australia. Chris is in that new movie 12 Strong that is almost entirely riding and looks quite capable in it so I would guess his wife has taught him a thing or two.
Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan have horses as well (not sure how often they ride but they do have horses).
“3 - judging by the picture of Joe Perry, I feel like he has a seeing eye horse.”
hahahaha…i helped with the photo shoot. The horses were at their home but they had a lot of help with them. they rode but are not riders lol
Sylvester Stallone used to play polo.
ditto on that. I follow her on IG, she has an impressive string of horses.
Madonna if no one has mentioned. She has a farm up the road from the farm I worked for in the Hamptons. My trainers biggest wish was to take her on as a client. :lol:
Matt Lauer’s wife’s farm was up the road from us as well. I just saw something on the internet she threw him out.
@Princess Sparkles Fun side fact - Elsa plays his wife in the film and apparently there is a bedroom scene in the film that was filmed in their home bedroom. That movie is on my must see list.
Dave Mustaine from Megadeath has Friesians and so does Joe Perry from Aerosmith.
not sure if she counts as an actor but martha stewart rides/owns fresians.
Benjamin Cumberpatch (Sherlock Holmes) rides.
Their daughter rides. They bought the spectacular Rumba for her, and she did do Indoors, I can’t remember if on him or another Junior Hunter.
RE the Romneys, their “dancing horses” are dressage horses. They co-own Rafalca, who was Jan Ebeling’s Olympic mount for London. I believe she’s done GP herself.
I didn’t know that! I know he’s ridden horses for film and TV but didn’t know he rode outside of his acting obligations.
Nicolette Sheridan rides! She has a big gorgeous Warmblood and I see her on him occasionally riding around Hidden Hills. Lady Gaga also has her own horse and horse property in Malibu. She came to look at a horse for adoption when I boarded in Malibu a few years ago and asked if my TB was available for adoption. He is not, Gaga. Her record company ended up getting her a grey mare the following Christmas.
