Katie Price has faced backlash from animal welfare advocates after posting a photo on Instagram of herself riding her horse, Wallis. Critics pointed out that the bit in the horse’s mouth appeared too tight, reigniting concerns about her animal care practices. While Price’s post received thousands of likes and some supportive comments, many followers expressed their worries about the horse’s welfare, urging her to adjust the equipment.

This incident is not isolated; it follows a history of scrutiny regarding Price’s treatment of animals. In 2020, a petition was launched to ban her from owning pets, amassing over 37,000 signatures due to various distressing incidents involving her animals, including tragic accidents that led to the deaths of several pets. Despite these controversies, Price has consistently professed her love for horses and her passion for equestrianism, describing her bond with Wallis as significant in her life.

While some fans defended her, emphasizing the joy horses bring, the ongoing criticism highlights the complexities of her relationship with animal welfare advocates. Price’s history and the recent photo have reignited discussions about responsible animal ownership and the importance of proper care practices.
