NFL retirement appears to be going well for Tom Brady, who now has enough time on his hands to take up some space on the sidelines of his daughter Vivian's favorite hobby: horseback riding. And the father of three's presence is apparently pleasing more than just his daughter. Local moms are said to be very excited about the prospect of rubbing elbows with the hunky former QB.

Tom has joined the ranks of some other high-profile 'horse dads.'
What do Tom, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Bloomberg, and Bill Gates all have in common (besides their beefy bank accounts)? They're devoted horse dads, according to Page Six. Newly divorced Tom was recently spotted at Florida's Winter Equestrian Festival at Wellington International. He was there to check out some of the competition and possibly find a new riding location for Vivian.
The spot is just an hour and a half from Tom's home in Miami.
This isn't the only place Tom has checked out. Apparently, he also visited a stable in nearby Davie. According to a source, the 45-year-old athlete is looking to find better accommodations for Vivian because "his daughter has been riding at a real dump of a barn. He is ready to up his game."
This news has caused quite a stir in the equestrian community.
You'd think it would mostly be fellow Buccaneer fans getting excited by the prospect of spending their weekends watching from the sidelines alongside a legend like Tom, but rumor has it that it's the horse moms who are looking forward to seeing the football veteran around the stables.
"It's the buzz of equestrian moms that they are going to get to watch Brady ringside," a source joked via Page Six. "Bill Gates isn't really cutting it."
Tom has taken a real interest in Vivian's hobby recently.
Now that his schedule has opened up, he's been spending more time with his kids, including taking a special interest in their passions. A source revealed that Tom's tour of the grounds of Wellington International also included a chat with course designer Guilherme Jorge, as well as Olympian McLain Ward and US Show Jumping's Robert Ridland. "It looked like he was walking the course to see where jumps are placed," the insider said.

We have a hunch that the Florida horse community is going to see a lot more of Tom in the coming months.
Now that Tom's split from supermodel Gisele Bündchen is official and his second retirement from the NFL has been announced, he'll likely be looking for new ways to fill his time. We're sure Vivian and brothers Jack and Benjamin will appreciate getting the extra attention from their dad — although probably not as much as the moms who are looking forward to spending their days hanging out with the handsome former QB as they all cheer on their kids.
