Your love for horses doesn't need to stop at the barn. Fanatics enjoy having decorative horse elements in the home. As a lifelong equine, an admirer of horse sport or someone who loves the equine look, having equine style in your home adds character and tradition. How you bring Oregon equestrian elements together can make the difference in telling a story or having your items overlooked.

The equine style was made popular when Ralph Lauren hit the world of fashion by storm. Lauren made both equine and nautical styles livable for mainstream people. It became possible and affordable to have the sporting lifestyle look. And while many people took up stirrup pants and hacking jackets, decorating with equine style has been around for hundreds of years.

The components of classic equine show clothes can vary somewhat, according to your riding specialty. Hunt seat is slightly more casual than dressage, but both require elegance and classiness about them that expresses the cool, calm confidence the judges are looking for in the show ring. Regardless of the brand of your show shirt or show jacket, be sure that they are clean and neatly pressed.

Show coats should be dark or a shade of beige or gray, while show breeches are always light colored, usually white, tan or beige. Ladies should wear a ratcatcher and choker or stock tie while the gentlemen wear button-down shirts with a tie or stock tie. Your Tuffrider tall boots will either be field or dress style and always black. Black gloves will add a touch of elegance to your overall presentation. Additionally, you must wear an ASTM/SEI approved helmet with a harness. Colors are usually black or charcoal-hued.

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.

Remember those tight white jodhpurs. Does that mean white is a good color for the equine look? Yes probably. Then there is the jacket, maybe a hip-length white jacket with black shaped pants. One can choose a bolero type jacket and the shirt inside whether sleeveless or not can be hip-length. And perhaps one can create this elegant look with leather!

To add comfort and softness to your space, maintain the style, consider adding needlepoint or horse themed equine pillows. The throw pillows come in numerous colors and styles. Look for traditional fabrics and authentic embellishments like harness brasses, fox hunt buttons, or other pieces of horse equipment.

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.
