This year’s mission to bring you the latest and greatest in equestrian fashion and gear began at the American Equestrian Trade Association’s international trade show in January. We braved hundreds of busy vendor booths to find out what was on the way to your favorite tack shops, online retailers and catalogs in terms of bridles, protective boots, show coats, show shirts and gloves. Then we talked with retailers, manufacturers and distributors in North America and beyond to lasso 79 of the most up-to-date styles, technology and fabrics for you and your horse. Happy shopping, and happy riding!
