Even if the closest you've been to a horse is via Anna Sewell's Black Beauty , there is much for the fashionably inclined to learn from the uniform of riders - especially those who hunt. Perhaps that's why so many well-turned-out women, including Plum Sykes, Amanda Harlech, Edie Campbell (who thanked Dolly her pony when collecting her BFA for Model of the Year) including former model Rosemary Ferguson are drawn to riding.

All that leather-polishing, shirt-starching and very-fitted-jacket www.outlet4luxuryshoes.com wearing instils buckets of discipline in the future fashionista. All sports require precise uniforms, but hunting is crème de la precise, particularly on Boxing Day. That's very appealing to anyone interested in clothes, hence fashion's enduring fascination with le style horsey.

But oh dear, those cute little foxes. While all those riders congregated in front of our windows in the village in Dorset where I grew up, it was like the Moral Maze in our house: all of my sisters disapproving madly, before going outside to chat up some of the dashing (apologies, it's impossible not to slip into Jilly Cooper speak) participants and filch some alcohol.

I've since come to terms with the k.i.l.l.i.n.g., even while I pay my annual dues to Peta. Oscar Wilde never did - "the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable", as he put it. Perhaps all the rules and deliberately abstruse dress codes summed up everything he abhorred about the British establishment.

Ralph Lauren, Moschino's Rossella Jardini, Gucci's Frida Giannini and Hermès don't seem to have any problems with the British establishment, since they all liberally help themselves to its ideas on dressing, especially the equestrian ones. Functional and impeccably luxurious though some of their riding clothes are, however, if you wish serious hunters to take you seriously, you're better off buying from equestrian specialists.

But that's fine. The most traditional riding clothes are some of the best - and you can always add subtle, erm, personal touches. A fearless side-saddle hunter, Lady Martha Sitwell's first port of call for gear is Agent Provocateur or La Perla, where she stocks up on red lingerie, "as it makes having your clothes cut off by the ambulance men so much more fun".
