Yee-haw! Kevin McHale Hops on a Horse Over Thanksgiving

Normally, rescue dog Sophie has all of his attention but not on Thanksgiving weekend.

Glee star Kevin McHale received a cozy horse hug while visiting relatives in Texas during the holiday and left town with more knowledge of the equine kind.

“Being completely cliche in tx. My niece reag_and_riva showing me how to ride a horse,” he Tweeted on Friday, with a photo of himself taking direction while sitting atop the leggy creature.

The Texas native may be new to horseback riding, but McHale’s a pro at reining in other animals. Earlier this month he shared photos of himself walking cat James on a leash.
