Whether you treasure show ring attire, beautifully weathered Wellingtons, residences in California's 'ever-so-exclusive' Sullivan Canyon neighborhood off Sunset Boulevard, Frédérique Lavergne's paintings of magnificent dressage horses, Cauldon's stoneware fox hunting plates, your 1999 Hampton Classic tickets or the hunt box your great grandfather built in the twenties, you understand and appreciate Equestrian Style. For those reasons and many, many others, you will love Vicky Moon's new book of the same title.

Published by Clarkson Potter, Vicky's Equestrian Style is beautifully printed, sewn and bound. Other coffee table tomes simply cannot compete with this volume that Midas himself would appreciate. "I've been riding since I was very small," Vicky remembered as she described her new book. "Everyone here who loves horses understands how all things equestrian find their way into your life and style of living. They all have great style, and they know art and antiques. "I loved doing this book and I only hope readers will find one small bit of knowledge about horses and equestrian style that they didn't know before. That would be wonderful.

"It was a thrill when I learned Clarkson Potter wanted to publish the book. I love their impeccable discipline and when my editor, Aliza Fogelson, asked me 'What's next…?' I was absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to work with them again."

Golf Style will be Vicky's next book with Clarkson Potter and she is hard at work planning the content as she travels far and wide promoting Equestrian Style.

Vicky's career as a writer has introduced her to many famous equestrians. Whether it was when Mrs. DuPont's five time horse of the year Kelso came to jump at the Washington International Horse Show or when Charlie Fenwick brought the Grand National winner Ben Nevis to a celebratory cocktail party, or ferreting out the fact that Man of War was the first horse ever embalmed, she delights in sharing amusing details with her readers. Equestrian Style is replete with fascinating details of lives lived with, and in appreciation of, horses.

Equally intriguing are the pages and pages of photos of famous stables and equestrian families, memorabilia, décor, events, trophies and estates. Vicky says in the introduction that equestrian style begins with a basic love of horses. It is abundantly clear that she perfectly fits that description, and that her skill as an author and chronicler of American culture is unparalleled.
