If you were a millennial who loved The Saddle Club book series — or TV series — who continues to have a penchant for riding boots and gear later in life, this new shop on the Main Line might just be for you. Saddle up, and enjoy the ride below.

Equestrian style may ebb and flow in mainstream fashion, but on the Main Line, boots, breeches, and bits are wardrobe staples for a lifetime. Kristan Cicero had this in mind when she opened equestrian lifestyle boutique Vanner House in Villanova late last year. Cicero, a native of Wilkes-Barre, first fell in love with the horse-riding community — and the scene’s distinctive fashion and decor — as a teenager. (She bought her horse, Dreamer, of the Gypsy Vanner breed, for her 50th birthday.)

The season’s premier equestrian events — the Winterthur Point-to-Point, the Radnor Hunt Races, and the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair — take place this month, and riders and revelers can shop accessories from luxury British brand Fairfax & Favor (a Vanner House exclusive), silk dresses from Stacy Bradley, handbags, jewelry, pajamas — and even picks for your pup — along with a new namesake collection of sustainable knits. (We’re loving the Jumper roll-neck sweater.) You’ll be off to the races in no time.

Vanner House, a new equestrian lifestyle boutique in Villanova, caters to those who appreciate equestrian fashion, particularly millennials who grew up with “The Saddle Club.” Founded by Kristan Cicero, a lifelong horse enthusiast, the shop offers a range of products that reflect the enduring appeal of equestrian style, including boots, breeches, and accessories.

The boutique features exclusive items from the luxury British brand Fairfax & Favor, alongside silk dresses, handbags, jewelry, and sustainable knitwear. With the upcoming equestrian events like the Winterthur Point-to-Point and the Devon Horse Show, Vanner House positions itself as a go-to destination for both riders and fashion enthusiasts.

Cicero’s passion for the equestrian community is evident in her carefully curated selection, which aims to blend style with functionality. The shop not only celebrates the equestrian lifestyle but also fosters a sense of community among its clientele.
