One of our fans asked for advice for outfitting her 20 year old son for winter riding. His mom says he works for a high end dressage barn in Michigan and his riding wardrobe needs some spiffing up! His mom is hoping we can find him some riding attire that will attract the attention of the girls :).

The New Market Collection from Horseware is full of great options for men! http://bit.ly/cvw20z They also have a children's catalog with cute stuff for little boys and girls! I just bought this for my seven year old son and he wears it to school everyday! http://bit.ly/9QM7pa. Here are a few of my favorite things for men!
