The Kentucky Horse Park is hosting a lecture next week by Marcus Floyd, inventor of Horse Kicks. If you didn’t see the photos when these went viral on social media a while back, get excited, because this is a whole new level of matchy-matchy that we didn’t know could exist: matching your sneakers with your horse’s. It looks like there’s a larger range of styles in these pony sneaks than I have ever owned myself… but knowing horse girls, they’ve definitely chosen the correct target population! Can you imagine pulling up to cross-country warmup with your horse sporting a pair of Air Jordans? You’d just be flexing on everyone at this point.
