Bella Hadid proudly showed off her impressive riding skills in a new social media post.
The 27-year-old model shared a video of herself competing in a rodeo competition on Instagram on Monday morning, just weeks after she appeared in her hunky cowboy boyfriend's post.
Bella showed off her impressive control when she took part in an event called Cutting.
Cutting is a Western-style equestrian competition in which a horse and rider work together in front of a judge or jury to demonstrate the horse's athleticism and ability to handle cattle.
She also shared a few snaps of herself cuddling her beautiful brown horse and even kissing it on the nose.

Bella also posted another conversation with other contestants as they sat on her majestic four-legged creatures.
The beauty also shared a few modeling snaps in which she looked fashionable in western wear, which were captured by her photographer friend Yasmine Diba.
She wore a brown and white striped Western-style button-up top over a patterned corset-style top tucked into blue jeans.
Bella completed the look with a brown leather belt with a gold buckle and matching cowboy boots, which featured a custom chrome spur that read “Bella.”
Her brunette locks were torn as she flaunted her natural look with minimal makeup.
She captioned the gallery for her 60.9 million fans: “When @yasminediba came to visit.”
Neither post featured her boyfriend, cowboy and rodeo star Adan Banuelos.
Just a few weeks ago, the model and experienced equestrian was featured on his Instagram account as he shared moments from a horse show competition she was competing in, where he looked on proudly before they shared a loving hug afterwards.

The couple has yet to confirm their romance but were spotted sharing a steamy kiss last October, a few months after her split from Marc Kalman.
At the time, Bella was competing in the National Cutting Horse Association competition at Bosque Ranch in Weatherford, Texas.
She competed in the $50,000 Limited Amateur category and rode the brown roan stallion Metallic Tito. They collected 132 points and finished in eighth place.
Adan is an accomplished rider and the son of Ascencion Banuelos – the first Mexican-American inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association's Riders Hall of Fame.
In 2017, Adan was also inducted into the same Hall of Fame, becoming one of the youngest inductees.
Bella is also an avid equestrian herself and often documents her love of animals online via her social media channels.
Adam wrote in his post: “Proud of our girl ✨ Bella and #MetallicTito took home 3rd place in their first appearance! Can't wait to see what the future holds for this duo…”
The black and white snaps showed them hugging after the show while she also posed with her horse.

They were first spotted together last October when footage showed the lovebirds sharing a passionate kiss.
She was captured on video in Fort Worth, Texas, wrapping her arms around the 34-year-old professional equestrian and leaning in to lock lips.
That wasn't the only PDA for Bella, who quietly split from her former boyfriend Marc Kalman last year.
She and Adan were also seen holding hands and smiling as they crossed the street along the way.
Eyewitnesses told TMZ that Bella and Adan both looked happy while out together.
Adan is highly skilled in the performance horse industry and was one of the youngest riders inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Riders Hall of Fame in 2017.
He and Bella have a lot to discuss, as she is a long-time equestrian who recently got back into the sport after being unable to ride for years due to her battle with Lyme disease.
According to PHC, Adan specializes in “cutting” – an equestrian competition in which horse and rider must successfully separate and isolate a single cow from its herd. But he was also successful at other “roping and cow horse events”.

He was named the NCHA's Leading Open Rider in 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022 and has a net worth of over $6 million, according to his family's website.
'Adan specializes in the training and exhibition of cutting horses. Excellent at the highest level. In addition to his own success, he continues to have top amateur and non-pro riders in his program,” the description reads.
Adan is the son of champion rider Ascension Banuelos, who immigrated to the United States from Mexico when he was just 13 years old and went on to become “one of the greatest riders of his time.”
Ascension is one of the world's top cutting horse trainers and the first Mexican American inducted into the NCHA Hall of Fame.
In 2017, a documentary about Ascension was released.
In a gushing birthday post shared in May 2021, Adan referred to his famous father as his “coach and most importantly, my best friend.”
In March 2023, Bella returned to competitive sports for the first time since she was forced to stop in 2016.
Her health problems kept her from playing sports, even though she was on track to potentially compete in the Olympics.
Bella's connection with horses began early in life when she began riding at the age of three.
Her mother Yolanda, who was also an avid equestrian, raised Bella, her sister Gigi and her son Anwar Hadid on a horse ranch in Beverly Hills.
Bella was a nationally recognized equestrian who was trying to make the 2016 Olympic team when Lyme disease sidelined her.
She was diagnosed with the tick-borne illness in 2012, and in the years since symptoms of the disease appeared, the runway queen has been bedridden, hospitalized and requiring regular IV fluids.
In August, she shared photos of herself and her horses at Wellington International, an equestrian club in Wellington, Florida, after telling fans that she was “finally healthy” following treatment for Lyme disease.
Due to her debilitating bouts of illness, she took a five-month break from modeling and didn't get back into the swing of things until the end of August.
Sometime in spring 2023, Bella quietly split from her boyfriend of two years, Marc Kalman.
A source claimed the relationship had “run its course” and Bella was solely focused on her health.
“They were very much in love but the relationship eventually came to an end and they decided to end things.” Bella is a very nice person but struggles with the pressures of fame. “She's been trying to take care of herself since her breakup,” the insider explained.
Bella and Marc reportedly met while working in New York City in 2020.
But the fiercely private star waited until the following summer to confirm their romance on social media, when she was packed with PDA and shared a sweet package of photos with the art director, who worked with rapper Travis Scott for years.
Back then, E! News reported that they were already “serious” and she was “looking forward to being seen in public with him” after keeping their romance a secret for a year.
“He was the creative behind many fashion projects and their paths crossed several times,” the source revealed.
His family is also said to have “approved and loved” him.

During a conversation with Interview Magazine, Bella said she felt “super comfortable and very safe with Marc” and referred to him as her “emotional support bunny.”
Regarding his work as a photographer, she raved that he was “incredibly talented in everything he does.”
While Bella rarely spoke about her relationship in public, she credited keeping her romance out of the spotlight because “things could last.”
Shortly after news of the split broke, a source insisted to Us Weekly that Bella “isn't focused on dating right now.”
