Proof that Ariana and Steven are totally, absolutely, 100% friends and didn't just, y'know, meet on the streets of Park City or whatever.

You won't see this on #PumpRules tonight because #Spirit the Horse is an #AmericanHero and doesn't have time for drama. Thank you @whitneynicolew for being the brain to my butt, @tomsandoval1 for flying her out, @cberms for co-conspiring, @scheanamarie for capturing moment, and @ariana252525 for being born. 🐴🎉🦄
