The Inspiration - A Riding Habit

2011-07-14T10:32:00.000-07:00

The Inspiration in which I became interested in horses was all due to the commission of a riding habit with Wendy Moyer of Historically Sew and eventually my cocked hat by George F. Franks, III of Cocked Hats to go with the ensemble. My thought was, if I were to wear a riding habit at living history events, I must know how to ride a horse as well - otherwise how can I understand the reason for wearing the habit if I haven't experienced riding? Reenacting and living history led me to my gorgeous gray horse, a Tennessee Walker. Now, what does that have to do with making and selling 18th & 19th Century inspired earrings, hatpins, hair accessories, etc.? Simple, my Southern Belle is a lady of refined taste and has a certain lifestyle of which she is accustomed. She requires supplements and shots for her severe osteoarthritis which came as a result of her being a reenactment horse for the last 8 years. She is now semi-retired at only 22 years of age. This venture is entirely for her out of respect, love, compassion, dignity, and to keep her out of any pain.
