“Nothing like the nobility of horses to recharge one’s spirit,” Salma Hayek wrote to her fans in her latest update “I love horses.” And by the beautiful pictures she shared, you can really tell there is a connection between the Mexican actress and her equestrian friends. In the images, we can see Salma looking stunning as usual, with very little or no makeup at all, dressed in a simple wool jumper, jeans and riding boots, enjoying a walk in the countryside and looking after her beauties.

The movie narrates the story of two fierce women who turned bank robbers to fight against a cruel villain - oh, and by the way, they also look divine in their cowgirl outfits. But we didn’t know the Mexican beauty had kept up this hobby that, not only keeps her fit, it also heals her soul.
