Snoop Dogg & Martha Stewart Go Full Equestrian at Paris Olympics

NBC's Olympics special correspondent Snoop Dogg rolled up to the Palace of Versailles, Paris, on a golf cart, accompanied by his long-time friend Martha Stewart--both donning full equestrian gear--breeches, tailcoat, and helmet.

Snoop's ensemble was complete with sunglasses and an "S" emblem on his jacket.

Snoop Dogg famously commentated on dressage at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics when he referred to Germany's Isabell Werth's mount as a 'crip-walking horse.' 

His presence certainly caused a stir among the Olympians; Carl Hester (Britain) said, "I didn't get to meet him, but of course, the talk of the stables was that he was here, and everyone was looking for him on the camera. It's great he's enjoying dressage and was here."

While the 52-year-old rapper may have looked ready to compete, he admitted that he's scared of horses. Stewart explained to NBC on Friday, "Snoop called me and said he knows I know horses, and he's a little fearful of horses."

"I'm still scared of horses," Snoop said. 

"Have you ever ridden a horse?" Stewart asked.

"No," said Snoop. "I'm scared."

"So we're gonna do dressage," Stewart said. 

Snoop said he planned to "bring carrots and apples ... after he wins I'll have carrots and apples."

"I have to keep him away from the horses," Stewart said. "No feeding, no sugar, nothing. But we're gonna have so much fun."

Despite Stewart's plans to keep Snoop under control, he did manage to feed some horses. In the dressage competition, Snoop and Stewart saw Isabell Werth become the most decorated German Olympian. She led her team to victory over Denmark and Britain to reach a career tally of eight gold and five silver medals.

After departing the dressage event, Snoop went on to the Par des Princes to see Team USA beat Japan 1-0 in the soccer quarter-finals. To keep up with Snoop Dogg at the 2024 Paris Olympics, check #FollowTheDogg.
