July 19 (UPI) -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was swinging a machete while riding horseback Thursday in Costa Rica.

The future Hall of Famer posted a videos of himself on the horse on social media. Brady, 41, and wife Gisele Bundchen have a home in Costa Rica and spend time there every off-season.

Brady joked about using the Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus song Old Town Road in the video.

"My manager: 'Don't do it man, that song is dead, we can do better,'" Brady wrote.

"Me: [plays song]."

The video featured the superstar quarterback riding the horse on a dirt path through a rainforest while using the machete to slice trees away.

"I never leave home without my machete," Brady said in a response to a tweet.

Lil Nas said Brady could have asked for a remix of his popular song if he wanted a new version. Brady previously asked the artist to perform at the Patriots' season-opening game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sept. 8 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

"Sign me up," Lil Nas replied.

Patriots offensive lineman David Andrews enjoyed Brady's post. He tweeted a GIF of Terrell Owens back at his teammate, saying: "That's my quarterback."

Brady also posted a video while riding horseback on a beach with sons Benjamin and John Edward. He called the trio "young guns."

The six-time Super Bowl champion and 14-time Pro Bowl selection turns 42 on Aug. 3. Brady signed a two-year, $41 million contract extension with the Patriots last off-season. He has a $14 million base salary in 2019.
