Speaking of green, equestrian apparel manufacturers are turning to environmentally friendly fabrics in droves. Kerrits, Inc., owned by Kerri Kent, recently launched its new line of riding clothes that incorporates fabric such as renewable bamboo, in high performance riding design.

Says Kent, “I am committed to sustainability and conserving land for future generations of horses and riders. The choices we make today have lasting implications for tomorrow.”  Kerrits isn’t the only company to go green: Boot and apparel maker Ariat also plans to launch a green line later this year.
