Daily Style Phile: Kate Upton, From Competitive Equestrian To Sports Illustrated Cover Girl

3 of 8

Competitive Equestrian

-Started showing in competitions when she was 8 years old

-Owned horses named Roanie Pony and Zipped

-Had to sell her horse Roanie Pony when she was 16 due to the demands of modeling

-Has won five American Paint Horse Association (APHA) World Championships

-In 2006, she ended up 3rd in the nation on the APHA youth Top Twenty

Kate mentioned in her Equine Chronicle interview that showing horses and modeling are very similar because you get the opportunity to travel around, meet people from around the world, and share a common love.

“Showing horses in APHA has been my passion for as long as I can remember and that will never change.”
