Ravindra Jadeja’s deep-rooted passion for horse riding is no secret to cricket fans. The India and Chennai Super Kings all-rounder is known for his affinity toward horses, proudly owning a stable of them at his farm. Amid a taxing IPL 2025 season, Jadeja finally found a moment to unwind, making the most of a rare week-long break in the tournament schedule by indulging in his favourite pastime—horse riding.
With the IPL pausing temporarily due to heightened military tensions between India and Pakistan, the Chennai Super Kings were handed a short breather. Their next match isn’t scheduled until May 21 against the Rajasthan Royals in Delhi, giving players a brief opportunity to recharge.

His love for horses dates back over a decade. Speaking about it in 2020, Jadeja had revealed that it all began with visits to a friend’s stable, where he developed a keen interest in horse riding and breeding. “I could never spend much time at my farm due to cricket, but I’ve always cherished the moments I get with my horses. I started breeding for myself in 2010 and don’t intend to sell them,” he said.

While CSK have had a disappointing run this season—sitting at the bottom of the table with just three wins from 12 matches—Jadeja has stood out. With 279 runs at a strike rate of 140.20 and eight wickets, he’s remained a dependable performer amid an otherwise underwhelming campaign.
