We’re absolutely smitten with this London 2012 equestrian poster by artist Kristen Acampora. A native of Maryland, Acampora is a 3 Day event rider and also an equine photographer. Her 11 x 17 giclee equestrian print captures perfectly the fashion and fun that we’re expecting from the London Olympics. It’s available unframed ($45), with shipping included in the price. Acampora’s collection also includes swimming, track, and gymnastics prints.

Our UK contributor tells us that “bottle of sauce” is Cockney rhyming slang for “horse” and while we can’t seem to get figure out this East London rhyming slang, we know one thing… Topshop’s Union Jack horse tights by Jonathan Aston are HOT as a bottle of sauce. ($30)

Rounding out our Acampora-inspired selection today is Cottage Craft’s Union Jack Dandy Brush (£4.25) and a positively smashing John Whitaker Union Jack saddle pad (£50.00).
