Meet Our New Eco-Rider Range

Our sustainability commitment is simple; we want to do better, not just for you but for your horse, our world and the future. 

Now, more than ever, it's so important that we focus on renewing the waste we've created in teh world and repurposing it into useful, ever day products.

This is why, apart of our commitment when creating new horse and rider products is to continue to work towards using and sourcing more fabrics that are made using 100% recycled and/or organic materials as well as working to improve our production processes to leave a less destructive foot-print.

A little over 3 years ago when we started the journey to create our first recycled rider wear products we set out with 3 points of importance when finding a rider-specific recycled fabric:

1. Functionally

Riding horses ain't a walk in the park and we believe your rider wear needs to work for you, not against you.

2. Comfort

We're all for spending long days at the barn and to be honest, there's no place we'd rather be. The fabric we picked feels like nothing else you've ever felt before. Soft and supple, yet elastic and ride-able.

3. Timelessness

We believe rider wear should be timeless, something you can wear 5 years from now and still love it as much as the first day you put it on.

So with that, we are so excited to introduce two new products to this collection, our short and long sleeve base layers. Made from 100% regenerated nylon crafted in Italy from recycled marine waste such as fishing nets, tulle and carpet fluff. It's as soft on the skin as it is on the earth and trust us when we say once you put it on, you won't want to take it off.

Made in a performance specialised fabric factory in Italy the fabric used for our base layers aren't just fancy in feel but they also offer an array of technical abilities to keep you feeling comfy all day long, both in and out of the saddle.

With the help of Healthy Seas®, the nylon used in our base layers has helped regenerate over 510 thousand TONNES of fishing nets since 2013.

The Renew Base Layer is now available in the colour black in both long and short sleeve versions. very limited stock available.
