Had to share this, it is so ridiculous.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA *falls off chair*!!

I do it the other way round - take my riding jacket into work with me on days I'm going to the yard so smell of horse in the office!! My co-workers don't care - until I tell them to smell my gloves because they smell so nice :) I thought everybody's favourite smell was 'eau de cheval'!!
 
would love to send the hack responsible for that shameful piece of journalism out to meet some nice stallions covered in various perfumes then perhaps he can tell her which he likes best while he is jumping on her head!!!!
 
That is brilliant! The most prep I make before heading out to ride is considering if the jeans/jods I'm wearing are fit to walk or if they'll last another day!!
 
It goes in the same category of having a lovely romantic advertisment of a pretty girl wearing white/light coloured dresses sitting astride a horse.

Whereas we know the reality would be lots of unspecified marks, general gray dust everywhere and an overwhelming odour of eau de cheval!
 
Scanner isn't working so quickly wrote the perfume options:

Ralph Lauren Polo Black
'..guarenteed to set hooves pounding and hearts racing.'

Dior Eau Sauvage
'Green, grassy notes make this classic cologne the best way to freshen up after a session in the saddle.'

Guerlain Apres L'Ondee
'This... scent recalls the smell of a spring-morning hack.'

Chanel Cuir de Russie
'A sensual accessory for the stable'

Tom Ford Tuscan Leather
'Crack the whip with this heady, hedonistic blend of saffron and jasmine.'

Annick Goutal Duel
'A cavalier choice for gentlemen... making it an ideal weapon for seduction.'

Hermes Kelly Caleche
'Match your scent to your Hermes handbag with this luxurious, leather scent.'
 
I love the last one - it assumes one rides out with one's Hermes handbag - I knew I was under-accessorized lol...

That must be what the saddle horn is for. Silly me.
 
Don't see why not! Many of you like to add bling to your bridles/whips/spurs/boots and lets not get into the horrendous multi coloured rugs with silly motives debate. A bit of pong will complete the total humiliation of the modern day equine. Add a pink horsebox and we'll have mass suicide on our hands. Anything to get money out of idiots pockets...eh?
 
Chanel Cuir de Russie
'A sensual accessory for the stable'

Obviously someone reading too much Jilly Cooper!!!

The only thing I worry about is which way up my fringe is pointing after scraping a hot sweaty hat off it!!!
 
Personally I find the articles about "what to do if you met Usher" "I breastfeed my dad to save his life" and "How to get a bum like J Lo" hard to relate to, at least I could get on board with Tatler's thinking. And yes, I do wear perfume when I'm riding, though not religiously.

Im loving it! So nice to see another 'free thinker'.
 
Perfume- essential when hunting, heaven forbid you fall off and need a lovely young gent to bend down and scoop you up. Sorry, I'll dream on and replace "young gent" for "old git" in the real world.
