3. She Does Horse Competitions
It's clear Bella is passionate about riding horses. She even learned some new impressive skills along the way. Bella won Rookie of the Year at a cutting horse competition in December.

She captioned the post, "Being able to try new things and reach new goals, especially on horses again, has been the biggest joy of my life. I thank God everyday for horses — for teaching and showing me unconditional love, happiness, connection, patience and hard work. I wouldn't be where I am today without them. Adan always had faith in me, from the first day we rode together, which gave me confidence and faith in myself again. I couldn't have done it without him! With hard work, kindness, and passion, anything can happen [heart emoji]."

Hadid enjoys watching and competing in rodeos. In a carousel post, she shared the exciting news about her Rookie of the Year award.
She wrote, "I really just loved coming to shows to support my man, step dad, friends and community; I felt lucky with just that alone! I started showing quickly after I started practicing, and then 6 months into the show year we found out I was in the running for Rookie of the Year, so @ab_performancehorses and I decided to send it for the last 6 months and see if we could do it! I was sitting 2nd until the last show, where I took home my Reserve Champion spot at the Futurity, and we were able to secure my rookie spot, to my fierce competitor Kevin Smith!! (We had the most fun!)"
