Mark Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham have a true equestrian in the family.
The couple's youngest daughter Grace, 15, is a competitive horseback rider, and just showed her true love for the animal in her latest photo.
In addition to Grace, the Ted actor and the Florida born model are also parents to daughter Ella, 21, and sons Michael, 19, and Brendan, 16.

"When you get to see your best friend every day," the doting mom endearingly wrote, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it. "Awww this is so cute!!" one wrote, as others followed suit with: "Such a sweet relationship between them. I love it," and: "What a great friendship they must have," as well as: "Grace is so amazing, I love her bond with horses, she's a natural," plus another one of her followers also wrote: "Aww so cute! Horses are the best."
Grace has been competing in horseback riding competitions for several years now, and her dad Mark, during an appearance on The Tonight Show in 2022, joked to host Jimmy Fallon that Grace managed to pick "the most expensive sport possible."

The Wahlberg-Durham family has been living in Las Vegas since 2022, and have gushed about the decision. Mark, opening up about leaving Los Angeles during an appearance on the Today Show in 2023, noted: "You have Las Vegas, and people think automatically, 'Oh, the Strip.' But [in] Nevada, there are wonderful communities."

"When we decided to move, we wanted to move before school started, so we moved into a temporary place," Mark also explained, adding: "And we now moved into another place."

Situated in a private community called The Summit Club, the home is a two-story, 7,327-square foot townhouse, which he initially purchased in August 2022 for $14.5 million. The Summit Club, which is in the southern part of the Summerlin community, describes itself as "a members-only residential community featuring a Tom Fazio-designed golf course, unique wellness and recreation programs, and 260 residences."
