Horse girl Matilda “Tildy” Carmine couldn’t look more chill on the saddle of her very own pony! Kaley Cuoco shared new photos of her 18-month-old daughter, who she shares with fiancé Tom Pelphrey, going horseback riding — and she is definitely a natural.
The Big Bang Theory alum posted a glimpse at her toddler’s horseback riding lesson on her Instagram story over the weekend, per PEOPLE. “Saturday riding lesson with [trainer] @farinaeichhorn and her perfect pony, Skye 😍,” Cuoco wrote over a clip of Tildy on her pony. Tildy is dressed in a brown t-shirt with a white bucket hat and white sneakers. She sat on her saddle, holding calmly on the saddle as her horse walked around. Pelphrey walked next to her, resting his hand on her leg, and Tildy’s riding instructor walked on the other, holding the reins.

At one point, you can see the back of Tildy’s saddle, which is sitting on a little blanket with “Matilda” embroidered on it. (See PEOPLE’s screenshots HERE.)
Even though Tildy is barely old enough to see above the saddle, she is happy and content on horseback! Earlier this week, Cuoco told PEOPLE that her daughter is “fearless.”
“I used to whip her around in her carrier, in her little stroller thing when she was little,” The Flight Attendant star told the outlet. “And I don’t know. She’s never been scared. She thinks it’s so fun.”

Cuoco said that Tildy “loves horses,” adding, “I know we’re in trouble. We had a special saddle made for her, so it actually props her up. And she just sits in that thing and walks around and it is crazy.”
The Oh Norman! founder gushed about how much she loves raising Tildy around her farm animals in a 2023 interview with E! News. “My kid is so amazing, but being able to raise her around all of our animals in such a healthy way has been so special,” she said. “It’s been incredible.”
It’s official: Tildy has the dream childhood!
From casual riders to professional equestrians, these celebrity kids are obsessed with horses.
