Viggo Mortensen
Most of us would remember Viggo Mortensen for his portrayal of Aragorn in the now-classic Lord of the Rings Trilogy. In it, you’ll often see him riding a horse like a boss. He’s a ranger after all, and riding horses is part of they do. It’s no surprise then that Viggo is an avid horse rider and owner. You can even say that he wrote a book on the subject. It’s a photobook called The Horse is Good.
Julia Roberts
You might remember that at the end of Runaway Bride, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere rides off into the sunset together. She even rode one in her wedding dress! It’s not a surprise then that she’s become quite the expert when it comes to horse riding in real life. In fact, she’s known to enjoy racing around in on a ranch she owns in New Mexico.
David Letterman
When David Letterman retired most of us didn’t know what he was going to do. Well, apparently, he became a hardcore rancher and conservationist in the northwestern state of Montana. There, he honed his horse-riding skills and became quite the rider. In interviews, he often jokes that he’d love to do a new show on horseback.
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus was just a doe-eyed kid when she got worldwide fame with her role in the hit TV show Hannah Montana. Nowadays, she’s become one of the most creative and unique artists in the industry. But did you know that she’s an avid horse lover too? She was bitten by the horse riding bug at her father’s ranch in Nashville. It’s hard not to fall in love with horses when you’re father’s a beloved country music superstar.
