If I learned anything about myself during this past year of the COVID lockdown, it’s that I really do love to entertain (and boy, did I miss it!). For my next dinner party, my table will be set with these fantastic wine glasses from Kelley and Company. There are four varieties of etched equestrian motifs:…
Men ride horses too! Sometimes it’s easy to forget, what with 15% minority they’re believed to make up of the equestrian market and the volume of women’s wear posts we do here. But it’s a fact. And men too deserve an amazing equestrian wardrobe. This week, in celebration of Father’s Day, we are here to…
You’ve got your burgers, hot dogs, and White Claws ready to go for Memorial Day. But have you shopped the biggest Equishopper sale of the year yet? There are hundreds of items up to 75% off and new deals daily until Monday May 31st! Here are a few of my “must have” items that are…
While I wish all my days were spent riding horses through fields of flowers or jumping from horse show to horse show, for better or worse, much of my time is spent simply working in the barn. I feed, muck, scrub water buckets, stack hay bales…all the glamorous parts of horse ownership. So what do…
We are getting dangerously close to fly season. (Related: did anyone else read about the cicada bloom that’s happening this year?! No thanks.) I’m a planner. I like to make sure I have my fly control arsenal stockpiled for the upcoming season well in advance, so now is when I am buying fly sheets, fly…
As our team gears up to get back on the show circuit after a COVID break, I’m training and riding more than ever. Silly or not, nothing motivates me more than a new wardrobe. (That’s why I am also buying a lot of workout clothing…but I digress.) For at-home schooling days, I’m lusting after these…
I try to keep my #ROOTD game strong. (See #ROOTD posts past.) And I like my horses to be well turned out, too. #EOOTD, if you will. For both, I lean on classic elements for a sophisticated look, no matter what. So for this week’s styling we’re going switch gears and outfit a horse—from the…
The paddock boot has long stood the test of time, regardless of season, age or riding ability. They are a constant in every equestrian’s closet, trunk or tack room. But if I’m going to invest in any piece of apparel, it has to serve not only my #ROOTD but also make the transition to #OOTD…
Tucked away on a sleepy dirt road, just outside the village of Woodstock, Vermont, White Fox Farm is peaceful, country seclusion embodied. To this day, 230 years after its construction, you’re still likely to count more horses passing than cars. (It doesn’t hurt that the farm serves as the 83rd mile marker for the Green…

If there is one thing dressage riders do really well, it’s breathing life into “classic” and “traditional” styles. While they prefer to keep everything within the [60 X 20 meter] box, they’re always finding ways to balance elegance with refreshing individuality. Crystal Anne Little is the owner and head trainer of Atkinson Riding Academy, an…
“Riding is gentle on the body”—said no one ever. I once moved into a farmhouse to start a new job as a rider/groom. The (assumingly exhausted) girl before me didn’t exactly make the effort to polish up the room before she left. Among the abandoned odds and ends were half-filled bottles of ibuprofen in just…
