Simone Biles was recently seen following her new passion while sending a cautionary message. Biles has been away from competitive gymnastics since her last appearance at the Paris Olympics. The American gymnast has been exploring her new interests in fashion, traveling, and horse riding. Amid her fun-filled schedule, she recently joined the US Equestrian for a riding session. The multiple-time Olympic medalist was seen wearing the national team's training gear. The US Equestrian team shared a video of the gymnast's session, in which she is seen guiding her fans throughout the session. The video started with Biles introducing her horse and sending a warning message. "We are going horseback riding," she said. "In US Equestrian riding pants. Now I'm in proper pants, so don't come for me. This is Jonas, a nice, sweet boy. I would be going over poles. Setian circles is the lesson for today."Amid the session, Biles gave an update about the training:"It's tiring. I feel like he's (horse) like a Mustang, and then I watch it, and it's definitely not. I feel like he is going so fast. Good job. We are doing good today."She also reflected on the moment when she and her husband, Jonathan Owens, rode a horse on an African beach, where she struggled while the latter excelled. "In South Africa, we rode horses on the beach. My husband was having the time of his life. I did it one or two times, and I almost peed myself, and I said I'm over."Simone Biles further revealed her goal while embracing her new passion and rated her latest training session."My goal for horseback riding is to learn how to jumps," she said. "A seven and a half. Honestly, I feel like this was a really good one. May be I'll do it eight."

They were right on track with each other, so I think that’s really, really important.” (via Olympics.com)At the Paris Games, Simone Biles won three gold and one silver medal.
