Chrissy Teigen takes horseback riding lessons with her two kids in Los Angeles

Chrissy Teigen and her husband John Legend were seen taking horseback riding lessons with their two children in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon. 

The 35-year-old model, who recently took up the new hobby after suffering a miscarriage in October, looked at ease as she enjoyed an equine therapy session and supervised her little ones. 

For the fun-filled day with her family, the best-selling cookbook author rocked a pair of sleek black riding boots and a fuzzy white cardigan.   

She kept her long blonde tresses in a messy bun and shared footage of herself holding and kissing a brown and white horse on her Instagram Story.  

Later, she filmed her son Miles, two, sitting in the dirt playing with traffic cones as he talked about being done with riding horses for the day. 

Meanwhile, Legend looked like a pro as he rode a black horse and spoke with two instructors.  

The power couple’s four-year-old daughter Luna appeared to be a bit more advanced in the saddle than her younger brother as she showed off her skills. 

As she rode a pony, Teigen’s mini-me executed proper form as she sat tall with the reigns in her hand.

The doting mom was particularly impressed when little Luna was able to direct the horse, all by herself.  

Horseback riding is a new hobby for the group which Chrissy recently adopted under the advice of her counselor.

‘My therapist says I need something that I do for just me, as I have absolutely nothing currently lol. Today begins my journey into the horse world,’ she penned on social media. ‘I hope this dude likes me he’s so handsome and appears lazy, I love.’

It was not easy going at first, for the cover girl, whose biggest issue was getting into her rigid leather riding boots.

As social media’s darling, Chrissy made sure she documented the entire ordeal for her 33.7 million Instagram followers.

Struggling to get the boots zipped up she penned: ‘Not even at the horse part yet LOL! What the f*** who can fit in these?’

‘Holy s***. Horse people: the boots! I always thought breaking in boots meant the foot part but does it mean the calf part because I’m dying over here,’ Chrissy continued while trying to stretch them out.  

The Sports Illustrated swimsuit alum took some flack from haters on social media for her post about becoming an equestrian but Teigen didn’t let the troll slide.

A Twitter user wrote that the celeb’s post appeared to be tone-deaf amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis, which has left many out of work and lacking resources.

‘A lot of people are unemployed and struggling to feed their family in the midst of a pandemic,’ the user wrote. ‘Maybe now isn’t a great time to say you ‘have nothing’ so you bought a horse to entertain yourself.’ 

Teigen wasted no time putting that person in their place and defended herself, explaining that she’s taking horseback riding lessons to cope with the grief of losing baby son Jack in September, as the child was stillborn as result of a partial placental abruption.

‘A lot of u really misinterpreted this tweet, and I guess that’s on me.’ She explained,’ I didn’t say I have nothing, I said I have nothing I do for just me.’

The Lip Sync Battle personality said that the horseback riding stemmed from ‘a convo with a therapist’ who suggested ‘a hobby … cause [she] lost a baby’ and she’s figuring [herself] out.’

Teigen also noted that she did not actually buy the horse but shrugged off the accusation writing: ‘but oh my god, what if I did?’
