You're Listening to an article from Horse Canada.com. Olympia and the Pony By:
Kim Izzo | .
The Internet is filled with images of adorable kids posted by proud parents. So it’s not a surprise that tennis legend Serena Williams and Reddit co-founder/hubby Alexis Ohanian are just as snap-happy. Their five-year-old daughter Olympia is not only extremely photogenic, but apparently a horse lover ‒ or at this stage of her young life, a pony lover.
On mom Serena’s Instagram page there’s a photo of Olympia in jeans, tee, and sunglasses standing beside an equally adorable pony. Her mom captioned the image “cuteness overload.”
And not one to be outdone by her famous folks, Olympia has her own Instagram account (run by her parents) and this past week posted a photo of herself, dressed in riding clothes and helmet, kissing the same pony.
There are no public details – yet – of whether Olympia actually owns the pony or is taking riding lessons. But the proof is in the breeches; we suspect that one day soon we might see Olympia Ohanian enter the show ring. Dare we say Olympics? Either way, the little girl and the small pony are definitely showing some love off the tennis court.
