Celebrity Horse Owners
While plenty of us mere mortals own horses and it`s seen as a pretty average thing to be able to do nowadays, it`s also a very elite thing as well.

Brad Pitt
Unlike Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt doesn`t ride seriously, but he bought a horse and six ponies for his family in 2011. If you have the money, why not I guess.

Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp has a horse, but he has a fascinating story. He starred in the movie Sleepy Hollow in 1999 and at the end of filming he adopted the horse for himself. How sweet that they developed a bond.
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor is known for many things, but owning horses is not one of her most popular bits of trivia. She loved horses, which wasn`t necessarily a secret, and she ended up adopting the horse she wrote in the renowned film National Velvet, much like Johnny Depp did with his co-star horse in Sleepy Hollow.

Oprah Winfrey
Oprah is known for a lot of things, but the fact she has a farm in Hawaii is not particularly well known, nor is the fact that she owns several horses who live out there. Then again, if she can afford to buy everyone in her audience a car, it`s no surprise she can own a few horses.
These famous celebrities aren`t known for their horsemanship, but it`s always fun to learn that we have something in common with them, especially something that`s so personal with strong bonds like owning horses.
