You’re invited to…witness a whole new side of Mary-Kate Olsen<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Row designer<\/a> showcased her impressive equestrian skills<\/a> yesterday during the International Global Champions Tour circuit at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid. Husband Olivier Sarkozy<\/strong> and twin sister Ashley Olsen<\/a><\/strong> supported her from the crowd<\/a> as the mogul\u2014clad in white pants, black riding boots and a chic black jacket\u2014masterfully jumped over a series of fences with her horse Fatum.<\/p>\n

“I was six when I first fell in love and it was with a pony named 4×4,” Mary-Kate revealed in her HITS rider profile<\/a>. “Having horseback riding as an outlet was super important because it allowed me to have another life and outlet outside of work and school.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

She was also able to bring her passion onto the screen. Several of the twins’ beloved movies\u2014including How the West Was Fun<\/em> and It Takes<\/em> Two\u2014feature the duo riding horseback. (We’ll just pretend Michelle Tanner<\/a> never fell off that horse in Full House<\/em>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

And though she briefly stopped riding after high school, the 32-year-old admitted she could not hold herself back for long. “I missed it every day that I wasn’t riding,” the star continued. “It was the hardest thing to leave and the hardest thing to come back to.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Today, she not only uses the activity as an escape, but also credits it for her success. “It allows me to exist in another world,” Mary-Kate added. “[Riding] allows me to practice being accepting, patient, disciplined, compassionate, competitive, and all of those other emotions that are very important to have in your everyday life. Horses teach you a lot about yourself.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Horses also influence her style<\/a>. “One of The Row’s first blazers was inspired by one of my first show jumping coats,” she concluded. “My sister and I always think about fit and comfort when designing anything which is important in equestrian clothing as well.”<\/p>\n

Mary-Kate and her mare Fatum certainly prove it takes two to win(ning London. Er, Madrid).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
