Candy striped polos and fanciful full seat breeches...meet Annie's Equestrienne Apparel

Candy striped polos, shim-shimmery tees, Tweetie Bird yellow, Tiff-Annie blue, and Razberry bright pink, full seat kids & adult riding breeches and amazing fun accessories for your little rider (or yourself) and their ponies...who would come up with something so bright and fun? A 7 year old (now 8) rider and her mom, frustrated with the lack of kid-friendly equestrian apparel options.













Shannon and her then 7 year old daughter, Annie, had been shopping for some fun schooling clothes for Annie. Like many of us pony moms, they came up empty handed in the big box stores, but that didn't stop Annie from going home, grabbing a box of crayons and some paper and getting to work! 

Annie rides dressage, so she wanted her riding clothes to be bright, fun AND full seat...something the market didn't offer at all. She drew pictures of exactly what she wanted her riding clothes to be like and gave them to her mom, Shannon. After looking over Annie's design sketches, Shannon could not get out of her head that someone should really make these, so they did.

Annie's Equestrienne Apparel was opened for FUN business in early 2014! That's right they're still in the baby stages?! I can't wait to see the heights of success these two reach in this market!

Annie's is full of imagination.(kid imagination that is!) Their line up includes everything from their "Sticky Buns" full seat breeches, fun riding inspired tops,sparkly hoof dressing, to accessories and doll clothes! 

My daughter has the Razberry and the Tiff-Annie blue sticky buns breeches as well as the Heels Down tee and the Candy Stripe polo.

 The fabric of these breeches is incredible! Soft isn't even a good word! Soft and silky? I don't know what to call it, but the texture is to die for! You need these sticky buns on YOUR buns! 

The shirts are so fun and fashion forward while being totally kid friendly and lesson ready! High quality and the perfect cut for young riders. The shirts are not baggy but not too tight either, and very breathable and easily move with the rider! 

I've said it a million times before and I will say it again. Pony Mama and daughter duos just excite me! Shannon and Annie are so entuned to what kids and parents want in the equestrian market: fun, fashionable, affordable and easy care equestrian style! 
A little bit about this mama-daughter duo: Shannon grew up riding and competing, but has put competing on the back burner as she concentrates on Annie and making sure she has fun riding her pony. The pair frequently go on trail rides together, how fun! Shannon no longer competes, but says she doesn't miss it either, and is enjoying watching her daughter's passion for horses grow! 

Annie spends many days at the barn having pony picnics, playing pony salon and just enjoying her pony, Pepper. She and Pepper are just beginning to compete in dressage shows, however, Shannon says that is not their main focus. She says she wants to encourage Annie's love of horses at a natural pace. "There's plenty of time [for competitions] if that is her choosing." I feel that Shannon's outlook is so refreshing! There's so much pressure as a kid to begin with! Horses are such a great way to get away from the kid pressure and just have fun being a kid with the best furry friend you could ask for: A PONY! 

You can find all of Annie's amazing designs on their website,Facebook,Twitter and Instagram!
