About the Club
The Elegant Equestriennes Club is a private alumnae circle for graduates of the remaining women’s colleges with equine programs—created for networking, heritage hosting, and the kind of traditions we all understand.
Founding Year is complimentary, and it’s special for one reason: America turns 250 only once in our lifetime.
I started this as a fun hosting project—researching the entertaining details of the Revolutionary era: what they served, what they poured, how “receiving hour” actually worked.
This took longer to build than I expected—but that extra time made the vision clearer. The deeper I went, the more the women took over the story: riders, estate managers, hostesses, operators—quiet strength that held households and communities together when it counted.
That’s how Founding Equestriennes was born: a Collector Edition hospitality series that honors the women behind the founding era—and gives us a meaningful, beautiful way to celebrate America 250 with grace, gratitude, and joy.

an equestrienne Community
Inside the Club, we gather to:
- reconnect with old friends and make new ones
- share refined, barn-realistic hosting ideas (tailgates, barn parties, hunt suppers)
- support one another in life and career
- keep a “we ask the Club first” culture for recommendations, opportunities, hiring, and trusted buying/selling
What’s coming next:
After America 250, members will be first in line for The Elegant Entertaining Calendar: Shows & Sips. Races & Recipes.
Traditions Honored. Weekend Moments Celebrated.
