They were dressed appropriately too, as Mariska wore a black maxi dress with a floral pattern and cap sleeves, paired with white cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, while her husband kept it simple with a button down, jeans, and boots.

"Clearly not his first rodeo," she captioned the clip, including hashtags like "These Boots Were Made for Dancin'" and "Good Ole Time With My Sweetheart."
