Khloe Kardashian has a new BFF and no, it's not new flame French Montana and Malika can be secure in her position as Khloe's main girl Friday. His name is Nick and he is a tall, muscular and chestnut coloured horse. She's back on the saddle both figuratively and literally!

The youngest Kardashian sister has found a way to distract herself from her failed marriage and other family issues by taking up horseback riding.

In a series of recent Instagram posts, Khloe introduces followers to her latest hobby and the horse that she is learning to ride with. In the first photo she posted, Khloe is standing in a tall pair of riding boots while petting the big brown horse in what appears to be a stable.She introduces the animal: "Meet my new bestie Nick!"

She then posted a video of herself in action while trying to get the hang of riding Nick. The clip shows her going around with Nick indoors in the stable while already clad in full riding gear complete with a cute riding helmet. She says that she's warming up before her big lesson.

The next video she posted switched outdoors with her statuesque frame still proceeding cautiously around in a circle on her chestnut horse. They kick up clouds of smoke as they go around and Khloe captions the video: "2nd lesson and I love it!!!"

She then posted another photo of herself on her horse while riding alongside a blonde man who is mounted on another brown horse. The man appears to be her instructor. She introduces the other horse with the caption: "Nick and Vegas"

Back in 2011 also in a visit to The Hamptons, Khloe and Kourtney had also visited a horse ranch which Khloe had written about in her blog. It is unclear if this is the same place that she is visiting now to have her riding lessons. The place is apparently rescuing horses that had been condemned to be put down. She explains that she had grown up riding and had previously been the proud owner of horses. She has found her way back and hoping to take it up more seriously.

Khloe, Kourtney and Scott Disick along with the couple's two children are currently in The Hamptons to film "Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons," a spin-off of their popular family reality show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
