Billie Eilish was seen horseback riding, an activity she has previously said helps her fight stress, in Los Angeles on Friday.
In footage obtained exclusively by Page Six, the 20-year-old “Bad Guy” singer was captured in full equestrian gear.
Eilish appeared in the photos dressed in a helmet, long-sleeved sweater, gloves, and riding boots.
She seemed calm as her horse galloped for about an hour on a track in the Valley.
We’re told the superstar spent some time “running circles with a trainer” and then worked in the stables.
In July 2019, Eilish told the rolling stone that horseback riding is “more for my mental health than a hobby”.
The “Happier Than Ever” superstar’s mother, Maggie Baird, also shared in the interview that her Grammy-winning daughter “has always loved horses very much.”
However, horseback riding is an expensive hobby, so Eilish said that she had to work at the stables in exchange for lessons growing up.
However, the “Everything I Wanted” singer said she “couldn’t stand being the poor girl in the stable.”
“I made a couple of friends, but otherwise no one was very nice,” Eilish told Rolling Stone. “Horse people don’t like poor people.”
It’s unclear if Eilish still turns to horseback riding to help keep her cool, but the “Ocean Eyes” singer has been candid about it. mental health struggles in the past.
In July 2019, Eilish, then 17, revealed that she began battling depression at age 13 when a serious hip injury forced her to stop dancing.
“He sent me down a well,” the “No Time to Die” singer admitted. “I went through a whole self-harm phase, we don’t have to get into that. But the essence of it was that I felt like I deserved to be suffering.”
