A Horse is a Horse Of Course, Of Course...

The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and fire
~Sharon Ralls Lemon


Was I one of those girls who loved horses when she was growing up? YES! I never owned my own horse (sob) but I was fortunate enough to go to equestrian school out in the bush and try my hand (and someone's hoof) at dressage, show-jumping and the awesome barrel racing. I love horses still, always and ever. I've galloped through the world of fashion, art and design to bring you some of my fav eco-horsey picks -

  2. What a lovely collection of all things horsey.
    There's a hilarious exhibition on down the road from me at the moment, which features lots of horses in wigs. Very silly, but it made me smile - http://www.wandsworthmuseum.co.uk/.
