Katie Price sparks concerns after animal fans spot alarming detail in new photo
Katie Price has sparked alarm amongst animal lovers in a new snap she has shared to her social media channel. The former model has never shied away from sharing her love of animal s and has had dozens of pets in recent years.
Famously, horses have a soft spot in Katie's heart, and she has previously competed at the Horse of the Year show on her horse, Jordan's Glamour Girl. But in a new update, Katie, 46, has taken to social media to share an image of her out riding her horse, Wallis, who she has had since he was eight-years-old, as the temperatures across the country continued to rise ahead of summer.
Sharing the snap with her 2.7 million followers on Meta's Instagram platform, Katie beamed as she proudly sat on the stunning black horse in the sunshine. The telly star looked every inch the equestrian expert as she donned a pair of black jodhpurs, black riding boots and a premium horse riding helmet.
Captioning her upload, Katie penned: "Everyday routine out riding. My happy place." Her post which has been liked thousands of times was soon flooded with mixed responses. Some animal lovers noticed that the bit in the horses mouth, used for the reins appeared to be too tight.
One follower penned: "His bit is way too tight! Come on Katie, this is basic know how for horses." A second added: "Jesus loosen the bit ffs." "Ouch! What have you done to the mouth - needs bigger bit and loosen the rein," commented another. A fourth concerned fan added: "Noseband and bit both too high, nice horse though."
But some leapt to Katie's defence, with one writing: "Horses are soul medicine of the best kind." A second went on to say: "I don't care where Katie got the horse from it's a lovely photo and why do people have a problem with anyone having a happy place move on and stop b****ing about her them without sin cast the first stone."
Another typed: "Lovely pic so what if she is riding someone elses horse she can ride. Why do the Karen's of the world have to be picky and mean. Just because you're not happy with your life don't be b***y about others u mite just get good karma back." But over the years, there has been concern for Katie's animals.
In 2020, a petition was made to put a ban in place to stop her from owning animals. The petition launched on change.org has since had over 37,000 signatures following some heartbreaking revelations about Katie's pets.
Her beloved German Shepherd dog was killed on the A24 close to her home, seven months after another of her dogs was killed on the same road.
Her horse was also killed on the same road after breaking free from Katie's fields. In 2020, her French Bulldog puppy Rolo suffocated after becoming trapped under a chair.
Katie has previously described Wallis as her "sidekick through thick and thin." She has previously shown appreciation to her horse with a loving post saying in August, saying: "I've been riding horses since I was 7 and I've had Wallis since he was 8, he is now nearly 22, horses are my life and passion."

Family of Southport attack victim Bebe King say her ‘light and spark' live on a year after her death
The family of Southport attack victim Bebe King has said her "light, care and spark" live on as it approaches a year since her death. The six-year-old was killed along with Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, when Axel Rudakubana launched his knife attack on the Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town on 29 July last year. On Monday 28 July, a post on the Instagram account of Bebe's Hive referenced the youngster's 'favourite musical' Wicked with the quote: 'Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.' Bebe's Hive was set up by her family to provide support for grieving children through creativity and connection. The post, which appeared to have been written by Bebe's mother Lauren, referred to her as 'my mini me' and 'her dad's soulmate'. It said: 'It's time for us to take the space we need. To feel, to breathe, to hold each other close. To just be. 'To be able to create something so purposeful, so needed, has given us a strength we didn't know we had. A reason. A focus. 'We love and thank every single person who has helped us carry this. 'I feel her with me every day and that feeling is what keeps us going. 'Her light, her care, her spark – it lives on, and we'll continue it for as long as we can. 'To our incredible family and friends – thank you for keeping us afloat, while trying to keep yourselves above water. Thank you for loving Bebe so deeply and for riding this forever journey with us. 'To our amazing community – I don't think you realise what you've done. To everyone further, we also thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 'Your kindness has saved us. 'To Elsie and Alice, we never had the chance to meet you, but we feel like we know you. Your light shines so brightly through your parents, and we're proud to walk alongside them.' In a reference to the Taylor Swift song Bejeweled, the post went on to say: 'Our girls' energy will continue to shimmer. 'And to every brave child, every adult, every family whose lives were changed forever that day – we see you and we're sending you so much love.' A video of Bebe dancing and playing with a bubble machine accompanied the caption, along with photos of her. Sefton Council has asked people not to lay flowers to mark the anniversary of the attack but instead to consider donating to causes including Bebe's Hive, as well as Elsie's Story and Alice's Wonderdance, which were set up in the victim's memories. A three-minute silence will be held in the town at 3pm on Tuesday 29 July.
