I always appreciated riding clothes when I rode. I never wore the look outside the barn; it wasn't comfortable for me. It looks nice on the Gucci models, though.
ReplyDeleteLove the ecquestrian jacket!
ReplyDeletepink ponies, this is the best! I love the equestrian look, I think it's so sexy on women. The boots and the jodhpurs especially! And of course the whip and the hat!
ReplyDeleteEquestrian is amazing. I love the boots, and I definitely want a pair of riding pants to match!
ReplyDeleteLove horses, and wild horses, OMG they're so beautiful.

But the equestrian look is very cool.
