I haven't ridden for a while but she's not very good, is she?

Warning, Daily Mail link...pop star Iggy Azalea riding a "stallion" - hands look all wrong to me, and it suggests she has only just taken up riding. Nice looking horses though.

No she isn't. I would be surprised if they are both stallions too. But fair does to her. I would imagine she has been papped having a lesson and the daily fail have jazzed it up somewhat.

Oh I love it when newspapers report on anything to do with horses or riding, they are so clueless! Lol at "parading her new pets around the ring".

I would be amazed if they were stallions! I guess the Daily Fail have assumed a pop star can only ride a stallion and not a gelding!

I loved the parading her pets comment and also liked that she had to ask what breed her new horse is!! Dutch warmblood for all the horse lovers out there!!

I wonder why she needed two? Can anyone tell from the pics if they really are stallions?

They don't look like they have enough crest to be entire. The grey, possibly, but in my experience warmblood stallions get seriously thick necks.

It's going to be one of those unhorsey mistakes - they assume 'stallion' refers to all male horses. I too don't think they are cresty enough.

As for the riding - so what if she doesn't look like a dressage queen - she looks like she is enjoying herself.

Horsey people are much too critical :(

Horsey people can be so bitchy.

That is all.

i think her hand and body position depends on what she is preparing to do......if she is warming up to jump its fine...IMHO,,,,,,

How very dare she spend her cash on one horse, never mind two!

Unless her great great grandmother AND great great grandfather, and every family member since, was being jigged about in the womb whilst their mother was doing cross country, then frankly she has no place!

Somebody needs to tell her!
