Description:
Pinterest is a great inspiration (and procrastination) site — I have 47 difference boards, 7,004 pins, follow 440 boards and am constantly “pinning” things I like, foods I want to cook, places I want to visit and clothes I want to wear and more. Below are the best Pinterest accounts/boards to follow for the full horse racing experience - legends, fashion, competition, food, drinks and fun! These accounts were chosen because they represent everything I love about horse racing.
1. AJANTA CAVES’ THOROUGHBRED RACEHORSES’ BOARD — This board truly captures the many facets of racehorses – baths, downtime and live action shots.
2. AMERICA’S BEST RACING — That’s us! Our boards cover everything from "Horse Racing Viewing Parties" and the "2014 Triple Crown Trail" to "Back in the Day" and "Funny" pictures!
3. BREEDERS’ CUP — The two richest days in American Thoroughbred racing are no stranger to the "Sport of Kings" – they have pins of things to buy and what to buy if you just so happen to be lucky enough hit the Breeders' Cup Pick 6 and even a board dedicated to the many uses and purposes of horse shoes.
4. BRIAN STEARNS' EVERYTHING HORSE RACING BOARD — A great mix of adorable pictures, fashion, jockeys, horses and everything else in horse racing.
5. BRUCE D. BRYANT'S FOOD - DERBY DAY PARTY BOARD — When you can’t be at the track, the best way to enjoy horse racing is with a watch party. Set the party up like you would for a Super Bowl party– snacks, games, drinks, friends and family and enjoy horse racing from the comforts of your living room. This blog even has some awesome recipes for food to make for your party!
6. CARSON KRESSLEY'S DERBY DAY BOARD — While the horses and jockeys are the main event, it's always fun to spot celebrities at the races and know they too love the sport. Carson Kressley, Emmy-winning television star, celebrity stylist, author and fashion designer, put together his own board of celebrities, fashion and other things you’ll spot on Derby day at Churchill Downs.
7. DEL MAR RACETRACK'S VINTAGE BOARD — There’s nothing like looking at pictures from "back in the day." Rod Stewart, Liz Taylor and even President Gerald Ford are just a few of the familiar faces pinned to this board.
8. ERICA RAYOS' KENTUCKY DERBY PARTY BOARD — If I'm throwing a watch party, this board is exactly what I would want my party to be like - equestrian topiaries, horse-blanket-inspired drink koozies, mint julep watermelon and more!
9. FAST TRACK'S HORSE RACING FASHION BOARD — This has a splendid array of horse racing fashion – from the classic to the obscure. There is a look for everyone and you can find it on this board.
10. HATA GORIES — Twenty-four boards of hats – you’ll be sure to find the perfect fit for you - it has everything from a low-key weekday to the biggest days in racing.
11. HRTV'S LONDON 2012 EQUESTRIAN OLYMPICS - EVENTING BOARD — Equestrian has been part of the Summer Olympics for more than 100 years - it's awesome to see the various disciplines of the amazing athletes in our sport. And hey, even Prince William and Kate watched and cheered!
12. JULIA RECKEL’S EQUINE BOARD — There’s something mysterious and magical to me about black-and-white photos. I love the various pictures of Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys with their beloved equines on this board.
13. KEENELAND'S SCENE OF THE DAY BOARD — I had been to Keeneland when I was younger, but after living in Kentucky last year and getting to spend more time at the track I really appreciate how beautiful it truly is! These are some wonderful shots of the Keeneland scene.
14. LIVING SILK'S HORSE RACING FASHION BOARD — One day I will make it to the Spring Racing Carnival in Australia, but for now I’ll just check out this board and swoon over the gorgeous fashion and find some fashion inspiration for the upcoming year.
15. NATALIE REINERT'S TURNING FOR HOME - ALEX & ALEXANDER #3 BOARD — This board is full of beautiful inspiration for the novel "Turning For Home."
16. PENELOPE MILLER’S HORSES AND COURSES BOARD — My personal favorite picture on this board is definitely the first one – Penelope’s face captures everything I felt at the 2013 Derby – “WHOO HOO”. Despite the rain, it was such an awesome day!
17. PREAKNESS' MENS FASHION BOARD — I think when most people think about fashion at the racetrack we think about Derby hats and dresses that women wear, but we can’t forget about the dapper men! Here's some great outfits and pieces for any man who wants some inspiration on how to dress up for a day at the races.
18. RALPH LAUREN — Any time I think equestrian fashion Ralph Lauren is always the first brand that comes to mind – it’s my favorite brand, a true classic. They have equestrian inspired everything - from the most gorgeous leather riding boots and saddlebag purses to bit-covered quilted coats, scarves and even place settings.
19. RED CAT'S KENTUCKY DERBY PARTY! BOARD — No party is complete without food and drinks. This board is full of things to make and, more importantly, ENJOY at your next watch party.
20. TAMPA BAY DOWNS' I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT HORSES BOARD — Links on this board range from riding tips to reading horse ears and emotions. It's a great place to expand your education about these magnificent animals that we see on the racetrack.
