Barn Rules: from the club to the farm, horsegiirL’s vision has neigh limits
GAY TIMES catches up with the equine it girl and cult DJ-musician breeding a new generation of party-goers who want their beats harder, faster and stronger Words by Megan Wallace Photography by Szymon Stepnia Fashion by Teresa Gross Art Direction by Jack Rowe & Georgia Taunton Creative Direction by Umar Sarwar Hair by Soh Kogasaka Nails by Camilla Inge Volber Creative and Art Assistant Anisa Cleaver Photography Assistant Isabel Spantzel Bradley Unless you live in a rural barn – or, worse, don’t have TikTok – you’ll know horsegiirL (also known as Stella Stallion).
The whimsical musician, who claims to have been a popular country star in the animal kingdom until she was discovered by one “Whitney Horseton”, first came to mainstream attention thanks to the success of ‘My Barn My Rules’.
The collab with producer MCR-T originally dropped in January 2023, but months later the track would go on to become a popular sound on the clock app – in no small part thanks to Stallion’s infectiously deadpan, auto-tuned bray of “long mane, big hoof, shiny coat, what’s new?”.
Since then, Stallion has played a raucous Boiler Room, where she dropped Khia’s raunchy ‘My Neck, My Back (Lick It)’ into the mix, threw a sold-out (antihistamine not included) Hayfever rave at London’s The Cause and headed stateside to take to the booth for Art Basel Miami Beach.
