If you’re skinny, you’re starving yourself. If you’re fat, you need to lose weight. If you leave your hair gray, you’re getting old. If you color your hair, you’re trying to act young. If you’re dressed up, you’re conceited. If you’re dressed down, you’ve let yourself go. If you speak your mind, you’re rude.

There is something else though- a love, a fire, a passion that’s intangible to anyone that doesn’t have “it.” We do the crazy things we do because it’s what we know, and we don’t want to imagine a life without it. The love for our equine partners can’t be described in enough words.

How to style an outfit around your horse’s color:
– RED horses (sorrel, chesnut, red roan): red-toned horses pair well with soft, earth tones like gold, rust, or brown.
– BLUE horses (bay, gray, black, blue roan): horses with a blue base look great against bright colors.
– YELLOW horses (palomino, buckskin): any color choice is flattering against nude-toned horses.
– Wearing black, ivory, or blue/green shades compliment every color of horse.
