Pop singer Leona Lewis has revealed the depth of her devotion to her horse, Goose, in an interview with OK! magazine.

The 25-year-old singer said she was completely devoted to Goose, her dog Misty and rabbit Melrose.

“I dote on them,” she admitted. “Lots of hugs, kisses and cuddles.”

While she gives all her pets equal attention, it is her horse that truly has her heart. Leona adores him and rides him every chance she gets, even shunning celebrity parties to spend time with him.

Earlier this year, she even had a poem about horses tattooed on her back to pay tribute to her favourite equine.

“My favourite hobby is riding horses,” Leona told the US edition of OK! magazine. “I love nature and enjoy learning new skills.”

Leona also shows her love for animals by collecting equestrian art, and making regular donations to the World Society for the Protection of Animals.

“They campaign to change laws to stop the cruel treatment of animals,” she said.
