Welcome to the newly repurposed "The In-Gate"! I've hung up my spurs from the horse show mom advice business, but I hope you'll
set a spell and read my humor essays, all about having and being had by horses. And if you came to this site looking for The In-Gate: A
Parent's Guide to Horse Shows, you can still order copies here.

The Devil Wears Puma Tall Boots
Have those of you in the English riding world been bemused or delighted by the advances in styling for riding boots over
the past few years? There's Tretorn's Puma-influenced boot, with sneaker technology and space age styling; and their Gore-Tex boot, Womens Falsterbo GT. There's Nike's Ippeas with the swoosh motif built in. There are bound to be some more out there I haven't seen yet.
I had a lot
of fun ruminating on these fashion-forward looks in the new questrian luxury ifestyle magazine, Equine Flair. Look for my article, The Devil Wears Puma Tall Boots on p. 14.
It's fun to see how we adapt fashion flair
to our chosen disciplines. While our most outrageous versions don't always catch on for the show ring, they do get people
talking. What's the craziest fashion thing you've ever seen in the show ring, or in the warm-up?
