Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham's youngest daughter, 15-year-old Grace, is continuing to expand upon her career as a professional equestrian.
The teen has been riding since she was quite young and has been a pro show jumper for years, earning several blue ribbons and championships nationwide.
She recently took to social media to celebrate a longstanding partnership with the brand Riviera Equisports, an equestrian lifestyle brand based in California that she'd joined when she and her famous family still lived in Los Angeles. The family-of-six moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in late 2022, giving them much more space to explore their passions, including Grace's riding.
"Proudly partnered with @rivieraequisports for 3 years now," Grace captioned a photo with one of her trusty stallions, and received sweet comments from her followers, including scores of flame and heart emojis.
The brand's profile reads: "Riviera Equisports is a modern equestrian tack and apparel brand, made and inspired by the modern equestrian."
"With a focus on creating anatomically designed bridles, our passion is building on and improving traditional bridle designs, to create a more comfortable piece of tack. We believe in putting the horse first, their bridles should be both comfortable and effective."

In a previous interview with E! News, Mark spoke about his daughter's love for horses and her immense discipline, rivaling even his own. "My daughter, believe it or not, is more disciplined than me," he said.

In a separate conversation with People, he noted that his youngest was the child most like him, adding: "She works out now. She's an equestrian. She now wants to go up in meters and to be a Grand Prix Jumper. She's got to train."

"And she's doing the work." His other kids are just as athletic, particularly his sons Michael and Brendan, who are fans of jiu-jitsu, golf, basketball and weight training.
"I called her this morning at like 10 o'clock," Mark recalled. "I wanted to catch her before she left to go to the barn. She was already at the barn on the horse. So she's got my work ethic for sure."
