If you have or ride a horse, chances are you have heard of Horze Equestrian, the Scandanavian brand/retailer that is seemingly everywhere these days and the sponsor of Dappled Grey’s May Giveaway package.

Horze has an interesting history, beginning as a horseshoe manufacturer in the 1980′s then evolving into a full service tack business for the trotting industry. Today, Horze is perhaps best known for it’s stylish, European influence riding apparel and horse equipment.

Lest we leave out your horse, the final item in our giveaway package is the Brighton All Around Saddle Pad. Turn heads in the Vibrant Yellow, Strong Blue, Fiesta Red, or Bright Green 100% cotton quilted pad. As we always say, go bright or go home!

Wild Child Apres-Show

Wild Child Apres Show   Wild Child Apres Show

It started with the breeches. Oh, these breeches – so wild we could hardly take it. What type of rider could pull these off?! Maybe Zara, the celeb-utante wild child and anti-heroine of Georgina Bloomberg’s “The A Circuit,” perhaps? Certainly a girl not afraid to turn heads or splurge on a totally impractical piece. What would she pair it with?

Here’s our take:

Accademia Italia Camo Breeches,  $275

James Perse Cap Sleeve Scoopneck Tee, $95

KLB Sunglasses West Side Bernie, $160

Dimacci Foulard, €99.00

TOMS Classic Canvas Slip On, $43
