Oregon Equestrian Style In Your Home

By Maria Jones


The aim is to get an equine look and what you can do is get a suitable shirt and the trousers; high boots may not be necessary. Remember that you are aiming to be inspired by the equine look and a suitable bodice, and trousers may be sufficient as well as the boots. The fabric and design of the bodice is important. An argyle or plaid pattern certainly could aid in creating an Oregon equestrian look.

Of course, looking and feeling your best doesn't start in the show ring. As athletes, you and your horse must train regularly, stay hydrated and eat properly. Assuming you have done all of the necessary homework, it is then up to you to acquire the proper equine riding apparel to ensure that you and your horse leave the ring as winners.

Look no further than the English countryside. Whether you have acquired equine pieces from the barn, or you are just starting out, giving your home or space an equine estate feel is not difficult. As with any design, the key is to start with a plan that includes well-thought-out furniture placement and a good color scheme. Traditional furniture works best when designing an equine style space. Dark, substantial wood furniture with good quality upholstery or leather gives mind to the English countryside, where most equine trends originated. Steeped in custom and tradition, equine elements have changed little through the centuries. Garner ideas from books and magazines, or search the internet for ideas.

In describing this look, it is worthwhile to look at coats/jackets to create the look, and remember the pea jacket; the navy jacket look too, as well as the actual riding coat look with a conservative lapel and collar going to hip length. In being inspired by this look, the black riding jacket can perhaps go to waist length, but if one has chosen to wear a skirt/long skirt and one wants to get the horsy look, then a jacket like the established hip-length riding coat is welcome.

Equines love art, and art that includes the horse is always a favorite. Some equine artists have stood out through the years, with George Stubbs being immensely popular during England's sporting days. His works are traditional, beautiful, and have color schemes that are easy with which to work. Reproductions of his paintings are available on the internet.

Neatness, cleanliness, style, and decorum are all important aspects of the way you present yourself in the show ring. Be sure to bring extras of your equine show clothes, just in case something becomes dirty or torn. Being presented adds to your mood, tone and motivation during this sporting activity.

It is always a good idea to protect your equine riding apparel before entering the ring. One big horse sneeze and your immaculate presentation may look more like a barn brawl. Baggy T-shirts pulled over the top of everything can save you frantic moments of stress and grief just before entering the show ring.

Bringing equine style to your home or space adds character. Horses have had a close relationship with a man for most of human history. Only since the invention of the automobile have we been so distanced from him. Bring equine style to your home by using these design ideas, and bring horses into your decor.
