She’s been a noted equestrian going back to her childhood days.
But Mary-Kate Olsen was content to watch others ride horses on Sunday in the Hamptons, New York.
The 34-year-old fashion designer and actress was spotted watching horses while spending time with friends and perking up with some coffee.

Mary-Kate eschewed her usual haute couture looks in favor of a simple flowing white blouse.
She contrasted the top with a pair of black jeans that were blown out around the knees.
The 5ft2in Full House star wore her honey blonde locks down her shoulders in gentle waves and parted down the middle to frame her dark sunglasses.
She strolled through the thick grass on the grounds while sipping on a coffee.

Mary-Kate sat off to the side of a group of friends while watching one of the horse riders, who seemed to be a friend as well.
Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, neither the fashion star nor her friends wore masks, or even had them visible, and most didn’t practice social distancing.
In 2019, Mary-Kate showed off her equestrian skills at the Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping competition at the Champ de Mars in Paris, where she competed for the Geberit Prize.
Though she surprised some of her fans with the horse riding, the former actress has been a committed equestrian going back to when she was just a kid.
‘I was six when I first fell in love and it was with a pony named 4×4,’ she said in her rider profile for the equestrian events management company Hits.
‘Having horseback riding as an outlet was super important because it allowed me to have another life and outlet outside of work and school. I continued to ride through high school and stopped when I moved to New York,’ she wrote, though she later returned to her passion.

Mary-Kate has been relaxing in the Hamptons in recent weeks while moving on from her divorce from the French banker Olivier Sarkozy.
Last month, she was seen for the first time since the shock divorce news, as she was pictured with twin sister Ashley at the offices for their fashion label The Row in New York City.
It was claimed in May that Sarkozy allegedly moved his ex-wife Charlotte Bernard and their children into the Hamptons home they shared.
‘There’s no romance between Charlotte and Olivier, he wants to keep everyone (including Charlotte) safe from COVID,’ a source claimed to Page Six.

Mary-Kate officially filed for divorce on Memorial Day, which was the day New York City courts began accepting new electronic filings, after they had closed during the coronavirus pandemic.
She had originally signed a divorce petition in April, when they had already split up, but New York courts had temporarily stopped accepting divorce filings due to the pandemic.
Meanwhile a report at the time claimed the couple clashed over having children prior to their split.
The speediness of the divorce petition was essential, as Sarkozy could dispose of her property in the New York City apartment until it was filed.
He allegedly ordered Mary-Kate to move out by May 18, when he had ended the lease without telling her, though she requested an extension until May 30 because of the pandemic.
Since departing New York, the fashionista has been spending time with her sister Ashley on Long Island.
