Custom Stock Tie
May 2008 - Here we have a beautiful custom stock tie that I did for a very special customer going to her first Dressage show. Upon receipt, here is what they had to say: Dear Melonie Thank you so much for all your work and effort on the beautiful stock tie. Kristin will always remember how much care you took in putting this work of art together. Because she sews, she can really appreciate the finely skilled workmanship on the tie. We really appreciate all the time and effort you took on this one stock tie and it will always will be a wonderful remembrance of her first horse show. With many thanks, Lynn

New Diva Ts Have Arrived!
February 2008 - Hold on to your boots, the new diva tees have arrived! They will come in white and pink thermals, tank tops and classic cap sleeved t-shirts. |
Neckwarmers with Buttons
| January 2008 - All right, Girls, this is Riding Couture's new 'Best
Thing'....as Martha says! Why didn't I think of this sooner - it's a neckwarmer that
buttons! We love, Love, LOVE this!!! Ride in it, shop in it, cook in it, clean in it, sleep in it.....good grief, the possibilities are endless. And because it buttons up, you don't have to worry about messing up your hair when you put it on. (I did extensive research on this...hee!) Layer over a turtleneck (as shown) to stay extra toasty, wear buttoned up or just one button for that casual 'I just threw this on' look. Also takes the place of a bulky scarf. To order, see our accessories page.
