I’m a horse lover and, in trolling old photos on the Internet when I should be doing something productive, I was thinking how many fantastic images there are of horses and their people. I love how each of these pictures tell such vivid stories about the relationships between the two. It’s also pretty easy to see why the equestrian influence on fashion is undeniable.
PS Another one of my favorite horse quotations: “A woman needs two animals – the horse of her dreams and a jackass to pay for it.” ~Author Unknown

haha, I love the quote! It sounds exactly like something my mother would say only to get a glare from my father, but we'd laugh anyways.
I do love to see how equestrian clothing have inspired and influenced fashion and style.

My family has horses, too, and we have the jackass quote on a magnet somewhere. My dad is fond of that one.

Those are awesome. It would be fun to frame a series of them for a den. I've never ridden a horse. Can you believe it? The hubs had a show horse when he was young named…wait for it…Tony the Pony. How cute is that?

You chose very nice pictures. And I thin that Churchil was right. There are no as genuine creatures as animals are.

i have never ridden a horse (well, a poor pony once at a carnival — poor thing). a few years ago i actually stood next to a cop's horse. it was AMAZING. they are so big, beautiful and majestic!

Oooh, I just love horses… I think they are beautiful, powerful animals. Even thought I've ridden a few times in my life, I def won't say that I know "how to ride"… that takes a lot of time and patience and bonding with one's horse.
I hope your horsey gets well!! Oh, my heart about broke when you told me it's your horse that is ill…
