Teddi Mellencamp stays comfortable in a blue puffy jacket as she accompanies daughter Slate to an equestrian competition
Teddi Mellencamp was spotted while accompanying her daughter Slate to an equestrian competition in La Quinta, California, on Friday morning.
The 41-year-old reality television personality and her child, ten, stayed close while the latter spent time on horseback.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member — who has become fond of sharing workout videos since moving on — recently opened up about coparenting with her husband’s former partner.
Mellencamp wore a white polo shirt underneath a blue puffy jacket as she watched Slate ride.
The entrepreneur also rocked a pair of tan riding breeches, as well as patterned socks and white athletic shoes.

Much of her gorgeous blonde hair shot out from underneath a stark white cap.
She also shared several posts from the competition to her Instagram Story, with one of her videos showing Slate helping out a fellow rider.
Mellencamp shares Slate, as well as her other two children, with her husband, Edwin Arroyave, whom she met in 2008.
Before she became involved with her current husband, the reality television personality was married to Matt Robertson from 2006 until 2010.
The social media personality eventually tied the knot with Arroyave in 2011, and the couple began their family with Slate’s arrival in October of 2012.
The happy couple went on to welcome a son named Cruz, eight, in 2014, and another daughter named Dove, two, in 2020.
The reality television personality also serves as a stepmother to her husband’s daughter Isabella, aged 14, whom he shares with Christina Mecklenberg.
Mellencamp shared a shot to her Instagram account earlier this week that showed her spending time with her stepdaughter’s mother.

She also penned a lengthy message where she expressed that she reached out to Mecklenberg in an effort to grow closer to her and Isabella.
The media personality called the acceptance of her offer ‘a true testament to the fact that we wanted to live in harmony and be our best for Bella.’
The entrepreneur then spoke about her feelings regarding coparenting with her husband’s former partner.
‘After multiple times spent together, I consider her a friend and not just a “coparent.” Because not only do we both love Bella, we want to learn and grow with each other,’ she wrote.
Mellencamp concluded by advising her fans who were also dealing with coparenting situations to become closer to the biological parents of their stepchildren.
‘If you ever have that feeling that you should make that call, send that invite, show vulnerability- do it. It’s so worth it,’ she wrote.
