Leona’s friends indulged the singer’s love of horses for her birthday – with pals reportedly teaming together to buy her sponsorship of her own pony.

Leona turned 24 on Friday (03Apr09) and although she has wanted to throw herself into the equestrian world since she was a little girl, her hectic schedule means she is unable to care for a horse full time.

So Lewis’ pals opted to buy her the next best thing – a sponsorship certificate for an animal in Los Angeles. A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, “Leona is besotted with horses. It’s a bit pricey to splash out on one of her own, so they (her friends) donated money to sponsor one for her in L.A. She was overwhelmed by everyone’s efforts.”
