Kendall Jenner revealed on The Tonight Show that she uses a fake name when competing in horseback riding to avoid the pressure and nerves associated with her famous identity. She explained that this alter ego allows her to participate in competitions without the added stress of being recognized, helping her feel like “one of the girls” and focus on the sport itself. Jenner has been passionate about horseback riding since she was a toddler, first sitting on a horse at age two and taking lessons by four.

Jenner also shared how horseback riding provides her with emotional and physical benefits, describing it as a calming, therapeutic activity that reconnects her with her childhood. She emphasized the unique bond she feels with horses, appreciating their strength and the sense of peace riding brings her, likening it to the way others might find clarity through a walk. This longstanding love for horses remains a cherished and grounding part of her life beyond her modeling career.
