Founded in 1988, Saratoga Horseworks, Ltd. specializes in custom horse blankets, dog coats, and more. Based in New York, one of their first pivotal moments was introducing the very first turnout flysheet. The company made its mark again with the creation of the Saratoga Bandage, featuring a unique fabric that provides unsurpassed support to the lower limb.
With a staff featuring active equestrians, they design the product down to the tiniest details, such as the placement of leg straps, reinforcement of seams, and monogram size. All products offered by Saratoga Horseworks are made and manufactured in the U.S.
“We are thrilled to enter into this new partnership with Saratoga Horseworks,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “At the USEA, we carefully consider every company that we designate as officially endorsed by our Association. We believe that Saratoga Horseworks is a perfect fit for our members, and we are honored to have them as the Official Horse Clothing of the USEA.”
