The equestrian daughter of Mark Wahlberg, Grace, has proven to the world that her age is not a matter of concern. The teenager has been riding since a very tender age, and a lot of credit goes to her actor father. Planning to be an Olympian moving forward, the 13-year-old takes her equestrian goals seriously. But teen Wahlberg doesn’t think of her career when she’s riding her horses.
Mark Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, are parents to three other kids. But they always felt that their middle daughter had a different take on life. Taking after her father, the horse-riding champ has started to work out and think constructively about her future. Something that the other children haven’t initiated yet.

Taking to her Instagram handle, the teen had penned, “No better feeling,” with an ecstatic picture. Undoubtedly, her connection with the horses came out well, as she smiled year after year while riding her beloved equine. Crediting his daughter for having a strong mindset, Mark said, ‘Well, we’ve got to start doing something because she’s got it all figured out, what she wants to do and how she wants to do it. And she’s doing the work.” Though for a 13-year-old, getting all figured out sounds strange, Grace Wahlberg had surpassed that.
Being a great Super Bowl fan himself, he never reckoned to have to get that feeling replaced by his daughter. Recently, at a horseback riding show, the proud parents cheered on as their daughter secured a fourth and a third finish. Rhea wrote, “Our girl took home 3rd place with Rainland Flurry and 4th place with Scarface(aka Bunny) today in the classic @hits_delmar So proud of her.”
Besides her parents showing love in the recent post, equestrian fans also hopped in to show love.

Pure Happiness!!” Another fan wrote, “Your awesome girl” with a red heart. As several red hearts followed, Ms. Wahlberg’s eyes shone brighter.
