She was forced to abandoned her 2016 Olympic dream in dismay due to ongoing Lyme Disease problems.

But excited model Bella Hadid shared a video of herself going for a ride astride a mighty mare on social media on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old professional clotheshorse looked hot to trot in her riding gear as she cantered around a show jumping course in her equestrian gear.

Having a mare: Bella Hadid shared a video of herself riding a horse on Instagram on Tuesday

On Instagram she said: 'Got to hack this beautiful baby girl today!!!! My one and greatest passion will always be horses and now I am back! with my heart re-filled with love and so much happiness.

'Missing my FWF family who taught me everything i know and made sure we always put in that extra EXTRA work... I love and miss you so much @ckinthebu @mpedd @jennykarazissis #Karazissis."

And in another post, where she is pictured patting her four-legged friend, she said: 'I am full again...Blessings.'

Bella has said she has endured a gruelling battle with Lyme disease since 2012, which forced her to give up her, admittedly faint, dream of competing in the Olympics as an equestrian.

The model's mother, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid, 53, and her younger brother Anwar, 17, have also been diagnosed with the supposedly debilitating condition.

Back in April Bella regaled her fans by revealing she was looking forward to getting back into riding once again now she and her family have bought a farm.

She told MailOnline: 'My family keep me calm and make me happy.

'We just bought a farm and I hope that's the place we can relax and all be together. I'm going to start riding again and I'm excited about that.'

The Infectious Diseases Society of America, the Centers for Disease Control, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the American Academy of Neurology all agree that there is no such condition as chronic Lyme disease.

While some medical professionals say chronic Lyme disease does not exist, there is evidence to support the fact some symptoms do linger past initial treatment of Lyme disease. This is known as Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome.

The exact cause of this is not yet known, but most medical experts believe that the lingering symptoms are the result of residual damage to tissues and the immune system that occurred during the infection. In a small percentage of cases symptoms can last for more than six months.
