While plenty of us mere mortals own horses and it’s seen as a pretty average thing to be able to do nowadays, it’s also a very elite thing as well. As with anything, there are things we don’t know about celebrities, but which celebrities who are horse owners is not something that is commonly discussed. Some of these answers may shock you!
Madonna
Did you know that Madonna owns two horses? In 2005 she was in a serious horse accident, but she was fine!
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman owns horses and also has been known to do her own riding stunts in her movies. Such as in Australia and in Far And Away.
Brad Pitt
Unlike Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt doesn’t ride seriously, but he bought a horse and six ponies for his family in 2011. If you have the money, why not I guess.
Julia Roberts
Even Julia Roberts owns horses at her ranch out in New Mexico, which is pretty cool! Who would have thought our Pretty Woman actress was into horses.
Johnny Depp
Even Johnny Depp has a horse, but he has a fascinating story. He starred in the movie Sleepy Hollow in 1999 and at the end of filming he adopted the horse for himself. How sweet that they developed a bond.
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor is known for many things, but owning horses is not one of her most popular bits of trivia. She loved horses, which wasn’t necessarily a secret, and she ended up adopting the horse she wrote in the renowned film National Velvet, much like Johnny Depp did with his co-star horse in Sleepy Hollow.
Paul McCartney
It’s not just actors and actresses who have horses. Singer Paul McCartney owns several horses in a ranch of his in the state of Arizona. He didn’t always love horses, but his wife introduced them to him and he fell in love almost at first sight. Not hard to see why.
Shania Twain
It’s not shocking that a country singer who sings about horses and open fields and farms loves horses. She has actually been known to travel with her horses on concert tours. Bet you didn’t know that when you attended one of her concerts.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah is known for a lot of things, but the fact she has a farm in Hawaii is not particularly well known, nor is the fact that she owns several horses who live out there. Then again, if she can afford to buy everyone in her audience a car, it’s no surprise she can own a few horses.
These famous celebrities aren’t known for their horsemanship, but it’s always fun to learn that we have something in common with them, especially something that’s so personal with strong bonds like owning horses.
