Domicile Insight: An Intimate Visit with Tara Metzner, the Equine Enthusiast
Tara Metzner's Equestrian Style and Preferences
Tara Metzner, a renowned equestrian coach, has a distinctive style that blends classic, traditional, and timeless elements with a touch of modern flair. Her wardrobe, both on and off the saddle, reflects her love for neutrals and occasional pops of colour.
In the equestrian arena, Metzner favours custom designs from Valencia Saddlery for her show jackets and shirts. These pieces feature a classic fit, lightweight material, and a stylish choker-like neckline. On non-competing days at horse shows, she opts for the HABiT Play shirt from the same brand, a comfortable button-down shirt that she lives in.
Metzner's headgear is sponsored by Samshield, and she is particularly fond of the Miss Shield helmet for its wider brim and excellent sun protection. For her hands, she prefers Samshield gloves.
When it comes to her personal beauty routine, Metzner keeps it simple, with a focus on using Skinceuticals tinted sunscreen. Her accessories include a bracelet made from pieces of her favourite horses' tails and a watch won as a prize for winning the International Derby at The Menlo Charity horse show.
Off the saddle, Metzner's typical wardrobe consists of jeans and a crewneck sweater, most likely in black. Her favourite day-to-day shoes are Vince slip-on sneakers and basic white Converse.
Metzner's favourite Oughton Limited bag, another prize from Menlo, is her preferred weekend bag due to its durability and chic design. Her all-time favourite chapstick is from Katherine Cosmetics.
Metzner's favourite riding boots are the DerDau Dream boot, and she orders them custom due to her long legs. Her favourite Jo Malone Cologne is blackberry and bay.
Currently, Metzner is enjoying spending more time at home with her horses, focusing on gymnastics and trail rides. Her HABiT Play shirt from Valencia Saddlery, with its soft cotton and custom touch, remains her go-to for casual days at home.
