Former glamour model Katie Price has come under fire for appearing to let one of her kids ride a pony with a ‘loose’ helmet and no body protector.
A snap posted to Katie’s Instagram showed four-year-old Bunny smiling from the back of a pony.

Katie captioned the pic: “My little bundle of joy Bunny riding this morning.”
But fans in the comments took aim at the mum-of-five over Bunny’s riding gear (or lack thereof), with some questioning why the strap on her helmet was loose and others demanding to know why the youngster wasn’t wearing a body protector.
One said: “She needs that helmet tightening and a body protector on, you really don’t help yourself do you?”
Another demanded: “Where is her body protector?”
A third said: “Hat strap not secure.”
A fourth commented: “You’re an amazing mum but that helmet strap needs to be a lot tighter.”
Others were quick to defend Katie and slam those leaving negative comments, with some suggesting the photo might have been taken before Bunny started riding, since Katie is an experienced horse rider herself.
Someone wrote: “Does no one who is commenting think Katie took the pic and then tightened the helmet? My son went horse riding and never had a body protector on as he only walked with a supervisor with the RDA.”
“I don’t know why people bother to follow you when they only criticise,” commented another, adding: “They are scrutinising every picture waiting to pounce. Gorgeous pic and you are a fabulously, loving mum with a lot of willpower and love.”
Another said: “People see one person commenting something negative and jump on the band wagon when they have no riding knowledge. I’ve ridden since 10, if not younger, and never worn a body protector.”
ED! has contacted Katie’s reps for comment.

Bunny is Katie’s youngest child and her second with ex Kieran Hayler, with whom she also shares five-year-old Jett.
Earlier this month, the mum-of-five pleaded guilty to abusive and threatening behaviour towards Kieran’s girlfriend, Michelle Pentecost.
The court fined Katie £415 and banned her from contacting Michelle for five years.
