Almost every little kid dreams of someday owning a pony, but this childhood fantasy doesn't always come to fruition. Luckily for celebrities, they've been gifted with the financial stability and freedom to have a pony of their own. With the Kentucky Derby right around the corner, we think it’s a good time to take a look at which celebs love horsing around with their equine friends.
Elizabeth Taylor

The film "National Velvet" made 12-year-old Taylor a star and also brought her close with her four-legged costar, King Charles the horse. Taylor, who had been riding horses since the age of 4, did her own riding for the film and became so close to the horse that she adopted him after shooting wrapped.

Madonna

Getting bucked off a horse doesn't faze Madge's lover for her equine friends. The pop singer suffered broken bones after a horse-riding accident in 2005, but she continues to ride. She owns two horses and has taken private lessons with British trainer Daisy Trayford in the past.
Johnny Depp

Did you notice an uncanny connection between Depp and the horse in "Sleepy Hollow"? That wasn't imaginary. Depp became so attached to Goldeneye that he adopted the horse when filming ended.
La Toya Jackson

We all know La Toya is a chimpanzee lover ("Bubbles? Is that you?"), but who knew she also has a thing for horses? Here she is having a ball at the International Horse Fair in Seville, Spain.
Selma Blair

Being mega pregnant doesn't stop Selma Blair from spending lots of time and energy with her beloved horse, Taffy.
Gisele Bundchen

Supermodel Gisele first learned to ride a horse in Brazil when she was just 9 years old. Though she regularly jet-sets around the world, she has been quoted as saying that all she really wants to do is "live in the countryside, ride on horses and live among cows, chickens and dogs."
Christie Brinkley

Former supermodel Brinkley is more than just a leisurely horseback rider. She is also an award-winning rider in cutting horse exercises, in which a rider must separate one cow from the rest of the herd. Though she has largely retired from this often dangerous sport since having her kids, Brinkley still considers herself an equestrian.
Jennifer Garner

With two little kids, a famous husband and a film career on her plate, Garner might not get much time to indulge her love of horses. But even with a busy schedule, she seems to want her kids to grow up having respect for the human-loving animals.

Viggo Mortensen

You could say that horses are one of Mortensen's major passions in life. The actor got so close to Uraeus and Kenny, the two horses he rode in "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," that he purchased them at the end of filming. He also bought T.J., the horse he rode in the film "Hidalgo." His love of horses inspired him to publish a photography book, "The Horse Is Good," partially shot from his time working on "Hidalgo."
Bo Derek

Derek has been a horse enthusiast for decades and is especially fond of the Andalusian breed. She's a spokesperson for Animal Welfare Institute's campaign against horse slaughter. Even her autobiography, Riding Lessons: Everything That Matters in Life I Learned From Horses, makes it pretty clear that horses are a major
part of Derek's personal life.
Joe Perry

Aerosmith guitarist Perry may live the fast-paced life of a rock star, but on his down time he spends his days on a sprawling horse ranch in Vermont. He and his wife breed and raise Fresians, a rare breed of horse.
Robert Redford

Redford credits Roy Rogers's horse, Trigger, for inspiring his love of the Palomino horse breed. His immense love for the animals was also a major motivator for Redford's work on the 1998 film "The Horse Whisperer," the first film in which he both starred and directed.
Nicole Kidman

Kidman did most of her own horseback riding for the film "Australia," for which both she and costar Hugh Jackman had weeks of riding lessons before filming. While most actresses woud be wary of hopping on a galloping steed, Kidman remarked that she didn't think about it. "I feel confident on a horse," she said.
Jewel

Growing up on a farm is a good way to solidify a girl's love for horses from a young age. Jewel grew up riding in her native Alaska and had a horse named Clearwater in her youth. Horses continue to be a big part of her life, especially now that she and rodeo star husband Ty Murray live on a horse farm in Dallas, Texas.
Lucy Liu

Svelte actress Liu loves to be outdoors, and one of her favorite hobbies is horseback riding. She even got to take lessons from an instructor in preparation for her role in "Charlie's Angels" in 2002.
Amy Winehouse

Being one with horses might not be the first conception of Amy Winehouse that comes to mind, but the singer became quite close to the animals while she was on vacation in St. Lucia in 2009. She was seen numerous times riding bareback on the beach and seemed to be enjoying her life away from the spotlight.

Miranda's Blooming! Kerr shows off her jaw-dropping curves in plunging dress
She only gave birth three months ago, but Miranda Kerr’s jaw-dropping figure grabbed more attention than her husband’s film during its premiere last night.
The Victoria’s Secret model accompanied Orlando Bloom to the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City for the premiere of The Good Doctor.
But instead of Orlando impressing with his acting skills, Miranda stole the limelight in a low-cut black dress, which put her assets on full display.

She might have lost every inch gained around her waist during pregnancy, but the Australian model seems to have kept some extra weight higher up.
But being a lingerie model, Miranda is no stranger to the best underwear in the business to make the most of her new-found curves.
And the sides of her black bra were seen beneath the plunging black dress, which was no doubt a purchase from Victoria's Secret.
And by the looks of her svelte physique, it’s no wonder that she’s already jumped back into work so soon, braving bikini shoots for the lingerie company after what she described as ‘a long, arduous and difficult labour’.
The 28-year-old gave birth to Flynn Christopher Bloom on January 6, less than six months after she wed Orlando in a secret ceremony.
She told People magazine: ‘I gave birth to him naturally, without any pain medication and it was long, arduous and difficult labour, but Orlando was with me the whole time supporting and guiding me through it. I could not have done it without him.’
The Pirates of the Caribbean star had taken his wife along to the film festival and after-party, hosted by Stolichnaya Vodka at The W Hotel.
The 34-year-old British actor stars as Dr Martin Ploeck in his new film, which sees his character spend his life looking for respect.
Dr Ploeck meets an 18-year-old patient named Diane, suffering from a kidney infection, and gets a much-needed boost of self-esteem.
But when her health starts improving, the doctor fears losing her, so begins tampering with her treatment, keeping the patient sick and in the hospital right next to him.
The thriller was just one of the many films released at the festival, which has also seen Puncture and The Big Bang Club screened this week.

I wonder how many times she’s made this face before.

With just days until the second series of The Only Way Is Essex returns to our screens the characters are no doubt topping up their tans, primping their hair and ensuring their vajazzles are firmly in place.

But it seems two stars of the show tried out a novel way of getting into shape for the second round of cat-flights, tears and tantrums embarking on a grueling fitness boot camp – in true Essex style, of course.

Mark Wright’s former flame Lucy Mecklenburgh was joined by Arg’s girlfriend Lydia Bright and the girls weren’t going to let the muddy training getting in the way of looking their best and found enough energy to enjoy an impromptu mud-wrestling match.


The pair were joined by two friends who were also sporting a full face of make-up and blow dried hair for the outdoor activities at the No1 boot camp in Norfolk.

With their hair flowing behind them the girls ran down to the beach to begin their session carrying small weighted balls.

That in itself must have been a tough task for the girls who are more used to lifting boutique shopping bags than weights.

And the girls ditched their designer dresses and high heels for black exercise leggings and a low cut black vest, but didn’t opt for sports bras for the strenuous activities.

The girls did show willing and performed a number of exercises including a girl-style press up which displayed their ample cleavage and a wide-legged squat on the sand.

The girls then crawled through the mud and while they seemed to be exhausted at the activity seemed to be in good spirits, even when the trainer flicked mud across their made-up faces.

And perhaps aware of the cameras on them, or maybe just fans of mud-wrestling Lydia challenged Lucia to a bout and the pair got the grips with each other in the dirt.

Always ready to oblige a waiting photographer the girls got together for a group shot.

Lucy, who is a size eight and weights nine stone has revealed how all the cast members have been putting in extra effort getting into shape for the new series.

She told New! Magazine: ‘Everyone’s gone a bit hardcore trying to lose weight for the next series.’

The 20-year-old credits her own trim figure to zumba classes and poledancing

The Only Way Is Essex returns March 20th on ITV2 at 10pm
