Justin Bieber’s been taking some heat lately! Between his friends getting into trouble while driving his Ferrari to his break-up with Selena Gomez to growing rumors about drug use, the Biebster seems to be struggling a bit. Justin admitted earlier this week:

“I’m not in the happiest place that I’ve ever been. I’m trying to get through what I’m going through. Like I said, I have my really close friends to cheer me up and keep me going.”

So what’s the latest activity Justin and his friends are doing? Horse back riding! Justin and a friend (who wasn’t identified) traded in the sports car for an old-fashioned mode of transportation. They went horseback riding in North Hollywood. Looks like fun!
