Equestrianism

As a matter of fact, when you spend a lot of time near a barn, you will begin to see a very subtle shift in how things happen. A horse approaches with a relaxed demeanor, its jaw unforced, and the reins move with the smoothness of silk under the rider's fingers.

That "moment" happens to all of us. You're standing in the tack room, surrounded by all sorts of rugs, and you suddenly find yourself wondering: "Okay...which one does my horse really need today?"

Before we dive into the ins and outs of clipping, consider this: No matter how well you care for your horse, no matter how good you are at reading the signs — some winters will inevitably leave you feeling a little uncertain.

There's something quiet and poetic about wearing riding clothes. They're not merely "things you put on before going to a lesson"; they represent stability, comfort and beauty that you take from the stable to the field and back again to your home.

Some mornings you awaken, pull back the closet door, and—somehow out of thin air—you’re searching for that one thing that looks as if it was styled to be quiet and put-together.
