There were my autobiographies, my novels, my children’s books, my reality TV shows, my two perfumes, my lingerie, my bedlinen, and my range of hair products . . . and I was itching to try my hand at something else. As you know, riding is my passion and a lifelong hobby, and that gave me the idea for my next business venture. I had long thought that riding equipment – from clothes to tack – could do with a lot more glamour and sparkle. You only seemed to be able to get clothes in muted greens, blues or brown, and they were so dowdy and unfashionable. It was dull, dull, dull, and so not me! I saw a gap in the market for equipment and clothes that were feminine, girlie and, yes, PINK! I had always handled any business ventures through my management company in the past. I’d come up with suggestions for various products, and they had arranged it all for me. But as riding was my passion I wanted to see if I could set up my own company to bring out equestrian equipment.I mentioned my new idea to Diana Colbert, who is my book publicist and shares my love of riding.
