Equestrian
Style: Home Design, Couture, and Collections from the Eclectic to the Elegant
by Vicky Moon
Hardcover from Clarkson Potter
Media Published: 2008-
Elegant equestrians in impeccable attire; glorious hunt balls held
in museums; a procession of regal foxhunting paintings in a home fit for
a polo king and his brood--the world of horses is full of imagery. Extending
far beyond the stable, the racetrack, and the polo field, our love of all
things equine appears everywhere from our closets to our dining rooms.
Now journalist and horse-world fixture Vicky Moon captures the equestrian
way of life with an unprecedented peek into dozens of stunning residences.
You'll visit a French-accented mansion decorated with contemporary horse
art; an equestrian resort on 395 acres, complete with cottages for rent
and a large private collection of carriages; a spa with a swimming pool
for horses; and a working barn that Kathryn Ireland decorated to do double
duty as a home for a professional horseman, riding instructor, and model
whose students included Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
Horse enthusiasts will be delighted to find familiar names and faces
of the horse world gracing these luxurious pages, from art masters of the
past such as painter George Stubbs and sculptor Herbert Haseltine to today's
most popular artists, including Liza Todd Tivey and Beverly Zimmer. Equestrian
devotees, such as the up-and-coming star Mayan Lopez, show jumper Georgina
Bloomberg, and the late Allaire du Pont, are profiled with their beloved
horses and the collections and fashions that reflect their passions. With
beautiful photographs, richly detailed stories, and practical advice, Equestrian
Style is certain to inspire horse lovers everywhere to bring a stylish
bit of the stable into their homes.
In this luxurious tour through stylish equestrian-themed interiors,
Vicky Moon captures the rich details--from the coveted to the quirky--of
the art, architecture, clothing, and people inspired by the classic horse
motif.
Equestrian style begins with a basic love of horses. It is more than
a feisty, wet Jack Russell terrier, a pair of Wellington boots, and a tweed
jacket. It goes beyond hanging a hunting print on the dining room wall
to actually leaping over stone walls on your favorite hunter. An unspoken
equestrian philosophy surpasses wearing an Hermès scarf; it celebrates
riding over jumps in an Hermès saddle. Equestrian style reaches
its apex among people who not only love horses, but also practically
live with them. It is an enduring tradition. |
