This is the story
does not allow for going home to change multiple times a
day. The barns she frequents are usually located in wellknown
“equestrian zones.” These are communities of horse
loving people, so equestrian clothing is a common sight
while shopping and eating in local businesses. This compliments
her natural passion for fashion, which carries over to
her choices in riding wear.
Women have been expressing themselves through fashion
since the beginning of time. Beautiful garments designed
for riding horses not only have their own storied history but
have also continued to inspire fashion trends for decades.
Times may change but above all, our desire to look and
feel our best while displaying our equestrian abilities has
never wavered.
Modern producers of equestrian and athletic clothing
brands are constantly innovating their work to find the
perfect balance between style, comfort and performance.
Real equestrians juggle multiple rides and tasks throughout
any given day: dressage work, jumping work, schooling,
trail riding, lunging and of course therapies and grooming
treatments. The weather is always subject to change from
perfect to extremely sunny, windy, rainy, hot, cold, etcetera.
Fashion
As equestrians, we also want variety: short sleeves,
EQUINE long sleeves, mesh sleeves, open collar, buttoned up, a
higher waist, a stretchy pant, the list is endless. We also
participate and compete in clinics, horse shows, exhibitions
and other special events. The life of an equestrian requires
an extensive wardrobe!

Social media platforms offer much needed access to
those equestrians looking for new pieces to accent their
wardrobe. It also offers individual brands the opportunity to
showcase their newest products in real-world situations to a
receptive audience. Pieces are mixed and matched in the
closets of leading equestrian fashion authorities, providing
audiences with fresh perspectives and inspiration. At the
same time, these creative collaborations open doors to
new audiences and equestrian communities for the brands
as well.
The central piece showcased in this photo shoot is an
equestrian shirt by the brand Criniere Life. Recently in 2019,
Victoria Asuaje was struck by the idea of designing a shirt
that would serve multiple needs for the modern horse girl.
It needed to be feminine and dynamic at the same time,
with a flattering fit meant to be comfortable during long
hours and intense wear.
After successfully bringing her vision to life, Victoria invested
her time into researching and meeting like-minded
equestrians through the vast and infinite social media
networks. Among the many contacts, she met @yulia_brat,
a professional show jumper, horse trainer, model and
influencer from Southern California. Yulia’s successful turn
as an influencer has blossomed into founding a creative
agency called Stable Productions. They currently produce
outstanding, eye-catching equestrian content such as the
campaign featured here.
