Trainer fed up of 'boring' outfits creates matching designs for riders and their horses

A creative horse trainer who struggled to find colourful blankets for her miniature horses at competitions has found a 'huge gap in the market' and now makes matching outfits for horses and their owners. Lana Grieve, 34, who owns six horses, five of them miniatures, used to sell horse blankets but branched out into the world of equestrian fashion by designing coordinated human riding clothes, so owners can match their pets.
