As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.

Regency Riding Habits
Here are examples of Regency riding habits. I especially like the plate that features the-tie-the-rider-to-the-saddle tack. When looking at fashion plates of regency outfits, you can tell a riding habit from a general outdoors outfit because the model carries a riding crop even if she is not pictured with a horse.
One of my planned sewing projects is to make a Regency riding habit.

I also have an Icelandic and have started to do regency events. I hope to make a riding habit some time this year! Look forward to seeing your progress
How wonderful! You and your Icelandic will look stunning in a Regency habit. Have you ridden side saddle? I would love to see a photo of the finished project.
