The Equestrian Designery, a full-service Los Angeles-based Interior Design studio, was created by Diane Barber to combine her accomplished Interior Design business with her lifelong passion for horses and her profound appreciation for the human/animal bond. The Equestrian Designery offers clients an extraordinary mix of talent, creativity, experience, knowledge and horse sense while providing professional design services that enhance the living spaces and lifestyles of people with horses.

Diane has been an avid equestrian since Western trail riding as a child with her family's Quarter Horses. She later fell in love with Spanish horses through her heart connection with her Spanish Arabian, Bold Brahim (Jesse) - a relationship that eventually sent her to Spain to explore the heritage of his grand sire, Sidi Brahim. And, that special Spanish journey later landed her in dressage training with Olympian Rafael Soto at the Real Escuela Adaluza del Arte Ecuestre in Jerez, Spain.

The spirit of horses and designing for people who love and admire them . . . bliss!
