What hat to wear when visiting a horse

I recently shared the hat and outfit 
I wore at a fundraiser for  

 I got the opportunity to tour the 
Old Friends at Cabin creek facility 
last weekend and meet their 
retired thoroughbred horses up close! 

My favorites were Red Down South, Roaring Lion, Thunder Rumble, Will's Way and Zippy Chippy.

I want to tell you about
Zippy Chippy and Red Down Under. 
These friends like to pal around all day 
eating carrots from their fans.


Zippy Chippy also seems 
to enjoy inspecting hats! 
He was in People Magazine, you know. 
He's an expert.


 It was a beautiful, warm day
so I decided to wear a colorful sundress.

I chose a simple hat that matched 
the orange in the dress 
and a necklace that picked up 
the blue stripes in the dress as well. 

This outfit made me feel 
casual and fashionable at the same time. 

The hat kept the sun out of my face 
and was small enough to wear 
while interacting with horses.

Wearing a hat is a must 
when paying a social call 
to retired thoroughbred racing horses.


The horses love it!

I'm sharing this outfit for Visible Monday
