Katie Price thrilled as she welcomes horses back to mucky mansion after epic makeover

Katie Price has welcomed her beloved horses back to the mucky mansion after a massive makeover of the £2million West Sussex home.

The former glamour model and keen equestrian, 31, has owned horses for many years but was forced to re-home her beloved animals at a neighbours property after her own home and it's surrounding land fell into a state of disrepair.

But after documenting her journey on her own Channel 4 show Mucky Mansion she has been able to overhaul the property back to its former glory.

And that includes a safe stable block and paddocks for her horses to roam.

Katie shared a picture on Instagram announcing the happy news: "My babies are home."

The shot shows two horses in the wooden stables with their heads popping out as a dog runs freely across the yard.

Katie, who has been a keen horsewoman since she was a child, opened up in the documentary about just how much they mean to her and how vital a role they played in her recent recovery.

She explained: ''I just love horses. [They] kept me off the streets, kept me away from boys.

''I spent hours grooming them, cutting up their carrots, making their beds all nice. I just loved it, and I still love it.''

She went on: ''When I was in The Priory, they get in your head to find a safe place. If you've had trauma and you have therapy, they make you go through the trauma you've had [and] there's always a safe place.

''They found my safe place. It was me doing this to a horse [Katie kisses her horse's muzzle].''

The mum-of-five went on: ''They said that was my safe place. I still do it now and I love it.

''You can have a real sh*t day, then you can come to the stables and you can switch off.

''I suppose it's like when people go to the gym.''

But Katie admitted that due to her hectic lifestyle and struggles with depression she hadn't the energy for her horses.

And after seeking treatment at The Priory she feels ready to take on the task of homing her horses at her property once more.

As well as owning horses, Katie this year revived her range of KP equestrian and has also 'penned' children's fiction stories on a equestrian theme.
