Greetings and thank you for stopping by.
Years ago, Vivian was looking for something extra she could do to raise money to help rescue horses. The more she and her group rescued, the more horses there seemed to need help.
It was also becoming obvious they were not going to get all they needed financially to help the horses simply from donations. So what could they do?
Then Vivian had a spark of inspiration. She would create something they could sell — and that is how the hat wearing cartoon horses Hattingdon Horses came to be born.
The first Hattingdon of course was Curtis. He was “it” for a long time. Then someone suggested I create a “lady” hat wearing horse to go with him. That encouraged the creation of a second Hattingdon horse — Harper in her large pink wide brim fashion hat. Hmmm. So what came after all of that? A whole lot of hats — created by V.
Etienne
A big time favourite
The hats you see below are from Vivian’s early design years. She named the design Etienne. The hats are fabulous. Red, white and blue always catches the eye. And Hattingdon wears them well . . . very well.
Hope you love seeing Hattingdon and her many hats. —Hattingdon & Co.
