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 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.
I
hope you enjoy it! Sally
