    Full Description

    For millennia, horses have captivated humans with their beauty, strength and majesty. From Türkiye to Japan, civilisations have elaborately costumed these prized animals. A magnificent selection of saddle blankets, horse covers and other equestrian textiles from the past 1,300 years communicates the significance and status of horses and their riders.
