D. D. Connection Collection KATHERINE Long Sleeved Training Shirt

The Connection tier mirrors the crucial step of forging a harmonious partnership between rider and horse.

Just as we celebrate connection with our equine partners, these shirts symbolize the dynamic relationship between design and nature, bringing you limited-time prints that resonate with elements of nature or the time of year.

As with all of the prints in our collections, Connection designs feature hand painted prints by our Founder, Ally.

"KATHERINE"

Katherine is a dear friend, inspiration, and driving force behind Ally & Deinhardt Designs - and she also happens to be a retailer (Elite Equine Enterprises). When I asked her what she felt was most fitting to represent her in a print, she said "BEES!" without hesitation. Bees are often misunderstood, or underestimated, but are crucial to life and the long-term health of our global ecosystem. They may pack a sting at times, but only in defense of themselves or their hive - Katherine (who goes by "Katie") is no exception to this. She facilitates growth in members of her "hive," and fiercely defends them when the need arises. She is beautiful inside and out, and one of the strongest people I know - I am grateful to be inspired by her dedication and tenacity every day, and for the shared experiences that brought her into my life and the unconditional love and support she shows me.

The Katherine print is unlike otherConnection prints, because it is also a "print with a purpose" - a portion of the proceeds from sales of this shirt are donated to Save the Bees.
