Her passion: While her passion for competitive show jumping may surprise some, the fashion designer “fell in love†with the sport for the first time at the age of six.
“I was six when I first fell in love and it was with a pony named 4×4,†Mary-Kate previously revealed in a profile for HITS.
Mary-Kate participated in the equestrian team while attending Campbell Hall School in Los Angeles, but later abandoned it when she moved to New York.
“Having horseback riding as an outlet was super important because it allowed me to have another life and to have an outlet outside of work and school,†she said. “I continued to ride through high school and quit when I moved to New York.”
