Bella Hadid Could Be Going to The Olympics

If you didn’t already believe the Hadid sisters are taking over the world, you will after reading this. We saw both Gigi and Bella take fashion month by storm; between both girls, they’ve covered pretty much every major show, with Gigi walking the likes of DVF and Anna Sui, and Bella hitting the runways for Moschino, Marc Jacobs and more.


Their skills don’t end there! In an interview with PORTER magazine, Bella revealed that she’s training for the 2016 Olympics—in horseback riding. It’s a passion she’s had pretty much “since [she] could walk”—she started when she was just three years old. “My devotion stemmed from my mom’s love of horses,” she said, explaining how she was introduced to the sport.


Bella, who is a nationally-ranked equestrian, told the magazine that horseback riding is what keeps her level and helps her maintain focus. “You know how every model is like, ‘I do yoga.'” she said. “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.”


We already can’t wait for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro—we’ll definitely be Team Bella!
