Snoop Dogg Had to Drop a Dressage Freestyle For Martha Stewart While Watching a Horse Named Gin & Juice

The 2024 Summer Olympics’ break-out star commentator cantered up to the equestrian competition over the weekend.

In case you’ve missed it so far, Snoop Dogg is absolutely living his best Olympic life right now. The Long Beach legend has been taking in as many events as possible in Paris over the past week in his gig as a special correspondent for NBC and this weekend was no exception. After carrying the torch in the lead-up to the Games’ opening last week, Snoop has also checked the USA gymnastics team, popped into the Louvre for a private tour, tried his hand at fencing and hopped into a pool with Olympic swimming legend Michael Phelps.

But over the weekend the D-O-G-G did something even he probably never thought he would during his summer working vacation: he got up close and personal with some horses, even though he’s super afraid of them. Snoop was seemingly able to overcome his equinophobia thanks to old pal Martha Stewart.

The domestic doyenne and horse lover helped Snoop get suited and paddock booted for the occasion in white jodhpurs, a dark blue riding jacket with tails — monogrammed with a giant gold S, of course — and a black riding helmet. After feeding the horses some carrots and showing them his fancy footwork, the dynamic duo set up shop in the broadcast booth at the Palace of Versailles, where the equestrian events have been taking place.

In a sequel to his 2021 viral video in which he lost his mind about a hose “crip walking” while watching dressage with comedian Kevin Hart, Snoop once again gave the ancient sport some modern flair in his commentary alongside Stewart. It helped that one of the horses he was watching was named “Gin & Juice,” seemingly in honor of Snoop’s 1994 song of the same name from his debut Doggystyle album.

“AYYYY!” Snoop bellowed when he caught wind of the horse’s name when Polish rider Sandra Sysojeva came sauntering out and the track played in the background. “Okay, we got an LBC horse in the house!” Snoop added excitedly as he freestyled some lyrics about his new horse homie. “From the front to the back/ There’s so much drama, and party, it’s hard being an H-O-R-S-E,” Snoop rapped as Stewart attempted to point out some of the skills on display and Snoop showed her his version of “that side walk.”

Back in the studio, Snoop told NBC Olympics anchor Mike Tirico that dressage is now one of his new favorite sports. “I didn’t realize that I love the chemistry of the driver [rider] and the horse… I call them the ‘driver’ because they actually drive the horse,” Snoop said. “And I fed the horses and I’m really scared of horses!”
