Blair is unable to ride due to her symptoms but had the opportunity to sit on Mr. Nibbles' back. She shared a photo of herself hugging her horse's neck as she cried tears of joy.

"This happened. My magical unicorn, #mrnibbles, held my body while I broke open with gratitude," the star captioned the post.

"I haven't been able to ride for four months or more. I haven't been able to get to him, so my saint of a trainer, @kjrides brought him to me," she said. "It was a fairytale. My horse in my front yard, with more emotions than these words can hold."

The Cruel Intentions star told fans she will eventually ride again.

"I will heal. I will ride. But until then I will hold onto this feeling and post pictures whenever we all need to believe people will move mountains and horses to help us heal," she wrote.
