Other than being an avid mascot supporter (she was one herself), what do you know about Debby Ryan?

The 16-year-old actress chatted with Glendale News Press and revealed her secret passion for horses, “I’m super close to the equestrian center and go riding with my friends. Riding is peaceful, passive and gentle. I [also] took classes in ballet, jazz and drill team at high school. I incorporate everything with hip-hop. With everything I do, I’m always mixing elements of things.”

Good friend Jason Dolley complimented Debby‘s peppy attitude, saying, “Debby is just one of those people. It doesn’t matter how your day’s been, when you hang out with Debby, you’ve had a good day. Just something about her — her personality — she’s very charismatic. She always cracks jokes here and there. The aura she brings with her is so much fun.”
