When most rappers talk about riding it certainty has nothing to do with a horse.

But Iggy Azalea is quite comfortable embracing her two different passions, almost as comfortable as she is in the saddle.

The 25-year-old Australian showed some serious skills as she took out one of her beloved horses in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday.

The Fancy rapper confidently guided her horse Strictly Business around the ring as her instructor gave her pointers.

The grey Dutch warmblood - who Iggy calls Bizzy for short - was certainly a sight to see thanks to its striking markings and long tail which flew behind it as they trotted back and forth.

Iggy looked pretty great too, both in terms of firm and equestrian fashion.

For her ride the rapper from Down Under wore a pair of black tight jodhpurs with a pink Ariat riding top.

'Horse update, ive [sic] decided it is my 2016 resolution to complete in a three day event', she tweeted.

A three day event is one of the most challenging that a ride can take on.

The three day event is often called the equestrian triathlon as it sees riders compete three phases, dressage, cross-country and show jumping.
