If you have tapped #blackequestrian anytime over the past 8 months, we are quite positive you have come across the amazing work that is @equestrian_noire. After seeing image after image of captivating attire, lighting and concepts, we had to sit down with the creator and figure out the story behind this project.

In this episode, we had the opportunity to chat with Jamillah Simms, the model and creator of Instagram's @equestrian_noire. Jamillah and her team of make-up artist, photographer and hair stylist create such captivating horse-inclusive images and she shared with us how this all got started.

Using this work as a creative outlet, Jamillah aspires to create images that are as close to authentic as possible (tack, outfits and hair included). Enjoy this episode with this special lady!
