Kate Upton is the newest face (and body) to grace the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
The buxom blonde has gotten plenty of exposure (and we mean plenty, judging by that teeny red bikini) but how much do you really know about her?

1. She's an accomplished rider ... of horses.
Kate is an equestrienne who has won five riding championships. Her horse is named Roanie Pony.
2. She broke into the business young.
Kate went to an open call at age 15 and was signed that day. She modeled in Miami and also did a lot of campaigns in Europe.
3. She's the youngest SI cover model in recent history.
