Off with a pair of horses in the California countryside, the CMA winner couldn't be happier. Lambert has always been interested in horses and even rides a few of her own when she gets the time. She's even competed her horses in riding competitions.

Next up for the country star is the Grammy Awards, where she is the only artist to be nominated in all four country music categories. After that she returns to the road, where she feels right at home on stage.

Lambert's latest album, Platinum, was released on June 3.
