One of the most fun business trips I make ever year is attending the January American Equestrian Trade Show in King of Prussia, Pa. For a horse person like me, the show is full of wonderful equestrian items. Tack shop owners and catalog companies send their buyers to the show to purchase products that you’ll see in your local tack store, on line or in your favorite equestrian catalog this fall.
Check out some items that caught my eye.
Horseware Ireland has developed a new line of Vari-Layer Rambo turnout blankets that feature several layers of thickness in one blanket. The blanket is thicker on top so it keeps your horse’s back warm, but it is less heavy around the bottom to reduce the blanket’s weight. Pretty clever. www.horseware.com
