Hats
and Horses:
A
Lifelong Love Affair
at
MAGGIE
MAE DESIGNS®
Custom
Millinery by Sally Faith Steinmann
What
is it about hats and horses?
"Hats
and Horses: A Lifelong Love Affair" at MAGGIE MAE
DESIGNS® highlights the
historic relationship between hats and horses. Whether it's the
wide-brimmed millinery wonders of Churchill Downs on Derby Day,
the black-and-white confections of Royal Ascot, or the cool yet
sophisticated summer hats of Saratoga, the connection between
elegant chapeaux and equestrian events is undeniable. And it is
expanding as more women are discovering the sheer elegance of
donning a lovely chapeau for a day at their favorite equine event.
Every year I receive so many custom hat requests from ladies
attending horse racing events. And it goes beyond the racetrack to
carriage driving, steeplechase, hunt events, and the polo field. I
have been a horse lover since I was a little girl, and nothing
could please me more. During the past several years I have been
inspired by the nationwide awakening with regard to the breeding
and care of racehorses and horses in general, triggered to a great
degree by the tragic losses of Barbaro and Eight Belles. I have
been encouraged by the efforts of the NTRA, lawmakers, and some
Thoroughbred breeders and owners to examine the sport of horse
racing who are beginning to make the necessary changes regarding
racetrack surfaces, steroids, and racing equipment.
This
page is dedicated to the horse welfare organizations, bloggers and
advocates around the country that are committed to the care of
Thoroughbred racehorses and to all horses. It also features some
of my hat customers over the years who have enjoyed their MAGGIE
MAE DESIGNS®
hats specifically designed for equestrian events.
For
me, the hats and the horses have become inseparable. I hope you
enjoy this page which showcases them both!
