More and more people are realising that Equestrian Clothing isn't just for Horse Riders. It makes sense really when you think that Horse Riding is seen as an affluent sport/hobby and these affluent people are going to want to look good. Not only do people want to look good but the clothes have to be practical because anyone who has been involved with horses will fully appreciate that functionality is a must. Attention to detail is what makes some of the better brands stand out and with fresh new design ideas they keep their seasonal ranges fashionable.
If you wanted a warm and waterproof winter jacket you might look to the high street for inspiration or you might think about trying an 'outdoors' outlet but why not check out the equestrian sector. This market will specialise in 'warm and waterproof', as any horse lover will know that this is a must, but they also incorporate some fantastic designs and technical fabrics to boot. Some of these technical fabrics also make the summer clothing lines extremely practical and very functional. Every clothing designer targeting the equestrian market will undoubtedly be conscious of the need for high quality and hard wearing design in every garment.
If you look at just a few of the quality brands that are currently available you will see the perfect harmony between fashion design and real attention to detail when making these garments practical for everyday use. Kingsland originates from Scandinavia and the brand has been designed by Lin Kingsroed who herself comes from a family of top riders. Kingsland has a reputation for its subtle blend of classic equestrian and up to date styling and with the combination of top quality materials makes it a favourite brand with many top riders.
Anky Technical Casuals is the brand that has been launched by triple Olympic champion Anky van Grunsven. Anky herself has a reputation for being one of the best modern day dressage riders in the world. The range is based around Anky's belief that there was a real need for a fashionable line of clothing which combines technical materials with optimal comfort, quality and usability.
Gersemi is another hugely popular brand and it too originates from Scandinavia. Gersemi market themselves as 'The Equestrian Fashion Brand' and they have a passion for quality and making people feel confidently stylish.
So you see with so many top quality fashion minded brands emerging in the equestrian market there is a real potential that these products can reach beyond equestrian markets and be a very viable choice for anyone wanting quality, functional and designer clothing.
