Marcus update

Marcus Hey! blog banner. October 2025.

Hello there. It is good to see you. Hey. Look who’s here . . . !

How about this? Oooh la la. It’s Marcus. And Marcus doesn’t look any finer. We love love love him.

Cousin Marcus

Hattingdon Horses creator Vivian gave Marcus a lovely makeover along with his dreads. He is looking finer and even more handsome than ever. It is enough to make us all swoon. What say you?

Thank you for visiting with us. We hope it gave you a “hatful of smiles”. See you again soon.

Skye ballcap

Zena blog post banner. Stage right.

Hello there. We have such a cute Hattingdon for you today. It is a ‘travel in outer space’ inspired ballcap in the most gorgeous blue. Take a look. Isn’t she sweet?

Skye Ballcap.

The color is inspired by the “big blue marble” of earth as seen from outer space. It features an adorable rocket circling around a planet surrounded with dots and stars.

We renamed the design Skye after a sweet girl who dreams of being an astronaut herself some day.

First woman in Space

Do you know who the first woman to go into space is?

VALENTINA Side by Side
Valentina Tereshkova, Cosmonaut

“Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to go to space in 1963, very early in crewed space exploration, and it would be almost twenty years before another flew (Svetlana Savitskaya).” Tereshkova remains the youngest woman to have flown in space under the international definition of 100 km altitude, and the youngest woman to fly in Earth orbit.” Read more »

You see, we are more than just pretty hats. Wink!

Fashion fun with Rudy

Vivian has put together an array of very nice hats for Hattingdon to wear this Christmas. While putting it together in her head, she thought . . . hmmmm, how about posting something fun too — that will bring everyone a “hatful of smiles”. Here’s Rudy.

Oh. Don’t go away until you have read about the squatchee. Who knew? None of us did.

The Squatchee

Do you know what a squatchee is? We didn’t. However, every ball cap in the world has one. Have you guessed?


“The squatchee is the button on top of a ball cap. It is also sometimes called the squatcho. In addition to being on top of the cap, the button is at the center, where all of the panels meet.” 


Not one of us here had heard of it. Did you know? Hmm. The things you learn blogging a hat crazy cartoon horse. Hahaha! Read more about the squatchee at Hat Heaven »

About the cap

The Rudy Hattingdon design begins with a red ballcap with a diamond pattern in white, studded in green with a green brim. Add golden brown antlers, and you have a Christmas hat that will give just about anyone — even a Scrooge — a “hatful of smiles”. And maybe even a bit of chuckling too.

Love y’all. H&Co.

World Vegan Day

World Vegan Day banner 2024.

NOVEMBER 1ST

Hey! It’s World Vegan Day.

On this day, Vegan groups and practitioners of veganism organize educational drives and workshops to bring attention to the importance of animal rights and kindness towards our fellow creatures on Earth.

Hattingdon is vegan of course. All horses naturally are (wink). Oh. Look who has stopped by. With a nice big carrot.

“Got Treats?'” Hattingdon.

Vivian

Hattingdon creator Vivian has been a vegan for decades. She says, “I never was much of a meat eater. I used to push it around my plate when I was a kid. I just did not want it. I became a vegetarian in college, and a vegan a bit later when I learned about it. I am an old timer now and doing very, very well on it”.

Good for you

Some research has found there are certain health benefits linked to vegan diets such as lower blood pressure and cholesterol, lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. Going vegan is also a great opportunity to learn more about nutrition and cooking, and improve your diet. » Read more »
