In a new interview and shoot with Porter magazine, Bella Hadid has revealed her sporting ambition, explaining she dreams of representing the USA in equestrian events at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The 18-year-old beauty discussed her 'passion' for riding with the fashion glossy, explaining that while modelling might be her career, she finds horses offer an escape from the hectic pace of reality.
Posing in a glamorous shoot for the Winter edition of the magazine, she chatted candidly about her passion which has seen her training hard for a place on the eventing team at next summer's games.
'My devotion stemmed from my mom's love of horses. I have been riding since I could walk and the fact that my mom knew everything about horses really helped my passion grow,' she revealed.
She explained that she finds training and competing in events help her adopt a meditative state: 'You know how every model is like, "I do yoga". Well, I find horses have the same effect.
'You have to put your ego aside and concentrate on making the horse do the things you want it to do, and move in the way you want it to move.'
Omg it would be amazing if a model could compete in the Olympics, it would get rid of some of the negative stereotypes surrounding females both in the sports and fashion industries
