Equestrian Life May 2018 Issue

Fairfax & Favor –
Tan Leather Reginas
Last year’s trot ups all saw a LOT of Fairfax
& Favor boots and shoes, but these, to
me, tick all the boxes. The flat heel ticks
the practical box, the leather is easy to
care for, and the tan is so beautiful and
the newest in the range. The new style
has rubber detail on the sole too, so great
for changeable weather. And, of course,
you can switch the self coloured tassels
for a colour pop.
RRP: £335 www.fairfaxandfavor.com
Hiho Silver – Exclusive
Cherry Roller Bangle
This will coordinate with the necklace
mentioned below, but can be completely
customised too. Change the CZ crystals to
show XC colours or to coordinate with the
look, switch rose gold for yellow gold, it’s
completely up to the wearer! This one has
rose gold plate and two turquoise
CZ beads. RRP: £185 www.hihosilver.co.uk
Mackenzie & George – Badminton Belt
This belt is UK made, has gorgeous snaffle detail,
can be personalised and is unisex too! The snaffles
are positioned all the way around the 25mm belt,
so people get a snaffle view wherever
they are too. RRP: £59.99

Hiho Silver – Exclusive Triple
Cherry Roller Snaffle Necklace
This necklace combines on trend rose gold plate
with silver, in a subtly horsey design. The length of
the necklace means it works with all necklines and
tops – with a shirt or lighter blouse, or a cosy knit if
they weather’s chilly.
RRP: £95 www.hihosilver.co.uk
Fairfax & Favor – Tassels
These are a great way to tie an outfit
together – maybe the tassels match the
colour of the fedora, the shirt, the jacket
or the jeans? Maybe they pick out a colour
from the tweed mix? It’s completely up
to you.
RRP: £20 for suede and £30 for leather

Hiho Silver – Exclusive
Badminton Spinner Ring
Hiho is the Official Jeweller
for the Mitsubishi Motors
Badminton Horse Trials and this
is one piece from the collection.
It’s sterling silver and the word
‘Badminton’ spins around –
perfect for busy fingers and
nerve wracking moments!
RRP: £55 www.hihosilver.co.uk
For the
MEN
Butler Stewart – Watson Jacket in Oxford Blue
A tailored tweed jacket is the perfect for the trot up – add a waistcoat
and it takes it to the next level. The blue version looks great with jeans
and chinos too. Contrasting colour under collar felt and racing green
lining too, for a flash of colour if the jacket is left open.
RRP: £385 www.butlerstewart.co.uk
Hiho Silver sponsor various best dressed trot up
competitions at the three and four star events, including
Burghley and Badminton. Hiho’s King of the Road,
Andrew Ransford, has been part of the judging panel
at each of the sponsored trot ups – here’s the top three
things he looks for…
• Attention to detail – last year we loved seeing a flash
of a jacket lining that matched piping on a hat or belt,
for example
• Being practically dressed- when handling horses you
HAVE to be!
• Being mindful of the weather and ground conditions
