These boots are part of the Mountain Horse 2010 Spring Collection. Mountain Horse should include an audio clip with this image -- "Chapel of Love."
Why is it that I find peanut butter colored boots offensive (see this blog post), but these white embossed boots are intriguing? Would I buy them? No. I'm not sure they're intended for riding to be honest -- and what color breeches one would wear with them?
Now THESE are more like it! These I would own in a heartbeat.

Anyone getting married soon?

I love my Mountain Horse boots...but....I do like the brown ones. Are they advertised as riding boots?
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to wear the white ones with black breeches and a black and white shirt, perhaps...to make a fashion statement.
Think I'll go search them out for myself on the web just to see what's up. It's far too curious a development to be ignored by this mad researcher! *lol*
They look nice in the photo because they are bright and clean - what would the real world do to that? Maybe these would be good in some kind of costume class? And how hard would it be to keep them brighty whitey unless you pulled them on immediately before mounting and removed them immediately after. I can imagine those with someone riding a black Friesian in an exhibition show: all black tack, rider in white for contrast. Big market there. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI worked with a very fashion impaired woman who was married in white fringed western "wedding boots", a white lace dress with handkerchief hem and lots of fringe across the bust. Just too many dangly things. These boots would have been a big improvement to the bottom half that costume. When this woman showed me her wedding photos, I was thinking "Wow, trailer trash wedding." (They did live in a trailer in the woods.) I took refuge in tact and said "You look like a very happy bride." I did not know at the time that there is quite a "Western Wedding" industry. Denim bride dress anyone?
I saw the white ones and immediately thought someone can wear those in a costume class and dress like the green M & M and the horse as a brown one or the bag. Would be cute. I really like the second pair just to wear, very nice.
ReplyDeleteI think I did those white boots in 1969, and not on a horse.
ReplyDeleteI awarded you the Beautiful Blogger Award, with a link from my blog:

Oh, ick. I'd be curious to know how much they are though (betcha they're exorbitant). I'm thinking those white ones look kinda like something you'd wear if you lost a bet...
ReplyDelete:o)
How about these white boots, black breeches, a custom made white dressage coat, black stock tie and white top hat. You'd be wearing the entire dressage habit in reverse! Now you'd need a white saddle and bridle and the outfit would be complete.
ReplyDeleteOr wear that outfit, have another rider in traditional dressage habit and ride a pas de deux as a positive and negative?
Such possibilities...
I think with either pair I would ride with my legs pulled out from the side of the horse for fear of getting them dirty.
ReplyDeleteThe new MH spring collection also inculdes a "high top"/Chuck Taylor-inspired riding shoe... in pink of black... complete with airbrushing design. *gag*
ReplyDeleteI love my MH field boots, but goodness the hot pink "riding shoe" is too over the top... unless you wear them and put the LED sport boots on your horse. Then you're set!
Those white boots are something else. I'd put them on and they would be dirty! lol
ReplyDeleteI gave you two awards because I enjoy your blog so much. Here is the link to mine for the awards :)

Those are some super-cute kicks! (this coming from someone that knows nothing about riding, but would work very good in my wardrobe!)
ReplyDeleteWhite riding boots? Hmm? Very interesting. Definitely a fashion statement. (Do riding breeches come in hot pink? I'm thinking pink & black & white) Reminds me of a lady I saw at the National Western Stock show...not a rider, but a spectator wearing fancy leather chaps as part of her attire to attend an entertainment event. So I could see someone dolling up in breeches and these boots and a nice blouse & jacket as "evening wear" to attend an event. Would take just the right person to pull it off. Certainly not me.
ReplyDeleteI like the "positive negative pas de deux" idea. Of course the horses would have to be contrasting colors too. Keep it simple - just contrasting. It would be educational.
