A Collaboration with Tara Kiwi: Show Pins
Show Pins is my second collaboration with under the title of my previous blog “Cavalcade”. Cavalcade for Tara Kiwi 2013: Gaits of the Horse was wildly popular last year. I was excited to have the opportunity to work with Tara again this year on our second collaboration. , a bold and graphic collage of jewelry designs inspired by vintage and antique horse show pins, has already been a hit since its debut in February.
Below is an excerpt from an interview I did with Tara in March to celebrate the debut of this new design:
Before we get into the Q&A I wanted to explain how Cavalcade for Tara Kiwi came about.
Basically I always knew I wanted to do a collaboration but didn’t know with whom and wanted the connection to be “organic”. I knew I would meet the right person eventually so I just shelved the idea for later. It was only after I started working with Danielle through Cavalcade that I realized she may be the ideal candidate. I emailed her the Gaits of the Horse concept and well you know the rest is EQ fashion history!
Who have you collaborated with and what motivates you to collaborate?
Teaming up with you last spring to create “Gaits of the Horse” (the first Cavalcade for Tara Kiwi design) was the first time I collaborated professionally with another company. I hope to work with other small businesses in the future because the entire process is really inspiring. I love sharing ideas and gaining insight into the vision and aesthetic tastes held by fellow business owners, artists and designers.
“Show Pins”, easy or hard to translate on fabric?
The concept of the “Show Pins” design was more difficult to translate into artwork that would work well on fabric than “Gaits of the Horse”. Each of the pins used as inspiration for the design had different textures, levels of detail and overall styles, so finding an illustration style that would unite all three pins was the first challenge.Once an overall look was decided on, small tweaks to the design were all that was needed in order to make it look great on fabric. I am so happy with the way it turned out!

Welcome to Equestrian Culture Online
We are proud to unveil our new website today!
Just over two years ago, I began the journey that led me to create Equestrian Culture when I started blogging. Like Equestrian Culture, Cavalcade (my blog) featured equestrian lifestyle content and introduced me to a lot of great artists, photographers and business owners. As much as I wanted to continue blogging on Cavalcade regularly after I founded Equestrian Culture, attempting to create daily content for two separate websites and keeping up with two sets of social media accounts became overwhelming.
When Leah and I decided to re-build Equestrian Culture’s website, we began brainstorming different ways that we could make Cavalcade and Equestrian Culture work together. In the end, we decided to fully incorporate Cavalcade and it’s nearly 300 existing posts into the new Equestrian Culture website. Our goal is to make Equestrian Culture a publication that seamlessly crosses over and encompasses multiple forms of media—both digital and print.
Here on Equestrian Culture’s new blog, you will find many of the great types of posts I previously blogged about on Cavalcade including equestrian art, photography, fashion and design. It will also function as an extension of the magazine, featuring small businesses, DIY projects and fun recipes, but will not repeat any of the content found in the magazine.
We are very excited to grow Equestrian Culture’s online community 
Cheers to EC Online!
