As an equestrian, you know that Instagram is a great place to find inspiration, connect with other riders, and stay up-to-date on the latest news in the horse world. But with so many accounts to choose from, it can be tough to know who to follow. Yes, we love learning from Olympic riders and their showjumping tips; but equally, we just want to know what riding boots Mary-Kate Olsen is wearing, and what equestrian estate Bella Hadid shares selfies from. Here are 5 horse girls we love to follow for their talent, their style, and their adorable four-legged friends.
