Bella Hadid and Boyfriend Adan Banuelos Put On a Horse Show In The Middle Of Manhattan

At golden hour on Thursday evening, at the tail end of New York Fashion Week and in the heart of the Meatpacking District, Bella Hadid was saddled up on a horse instead of strutting on the runway. The model, who grew up riding in her hometown of Los Angeles, has recently become a full-time Texas resident and horse enthusiast, joining her boyfriend, the professional cowboy Adan Banuelos, in Fort Worth. On Thursday, the pair were demonstrating for a crowd of onlookers including Jenna Lyons, Dascha Polanco, and a cadre of influencers and editors decked out in “urban cowboy” attire a brief introduction to Cutting Horse. There’s no better introduction than watching Banuelos ride. He’s been the sport’s national champion. The event, “Window to the West,” was put on by sports media and lifestyle company Teton Ridge and included a pop-up by Kemo Sabe and a screening of the first film, “Horse Sense,” in a six-part series highlighting athletes, musicians, and artists who embody the spirit of the American west.
