Bella Hadid has officially entered her cowgirl era
She put her horsemanship to the test this weekend in Fort Worth, Texas .
It seems Hadid—who was trained in equestrian skills during her youth—began training in cutting alongside her future boyfriend.
They went official on Valentine’s Day 2024, when Hadid posted a picture of Banuelos in her Instagram Stories, calling him ‘My Valentine.’
She was a very good student and has since won several competitions.
Banuelos praised her after she received a major honor in the cutting world: she was crowned the National Cutting Horse Association’s (NCHA) 2024 Limited Age Event (LAE) Rookie of the Year.
In December—just a year after she began competing in the western‑style equestrian sport and only a couple of days after bagging another buckle—Hadid earned that Rookie of the Year title.
Banuelos celebrated by listing her achievements in his caption: ‘First year out, Futurity Limited Am Reserve Champ ✔️ Amateur Rookie Of The Year ✔️.’
Back in April, Hadid announced she would be taking a step back from modeling after moving to Texas with her ‘partner. ‘
