A standing Ovation to the newest member of the HN team!

Here at Horse Nation headquarters, Ovation stands out as one of our favorite brands–so we’re totally thrilled that they’ve joined our all-star lineup of corporate sponsors.

Ovation is one of the premier brands in the equestrian industry, offering everything from head to toe for horse and rider. Specializing in breeches, footwear and helmets, Ovation has you covered–and, with a full line of equine gear that ranges from saddles to strap goods, they’ve got your four-legged partner covered as well.

With Ovation on your side, you and your horse alike will be sure to make your barn’s “best dressed” list.

We’re in love with their apparel line, which ranges from comfy breeches to stylish show coats to butter-soft gloves. Their footwear, available in a wide variety of paddock and tall boot styles, is top-notch, and their helmets exist at the intersection between fashion and the latest in technological and safety advances.

Ovation has your equine partner dressed to the nines as well, featuring a range of saddles, bridlework, bits and stable gear.

I’ve been a big fan of Ovation since long before Horse Nation courted their sponsorship. Confession: I own the Ovation Ladies Full Seat Euroweave DX in three different colors (espresso and grey for schooling, light tan for horse shows)–I mean, when you find a pair of breeches you love that much, you’ve just got to run with it. They’re super-comfy and lined with a Dri-Lex® Inner Skin that keeps me cool on hot summer days. I’m also a big fan of the full-seats, which are made from a Syn-Tec Stretch Suede that moves with you when you’re on the horse. And they hold up to everyday wear like a champ–I just don’t have time to baby my breeches in the laundry room at the end of a long day, so that’s an absolute breech prerequisite for me.

Anyway, I could go on and on about Ovation products, but I’m sure I’m already making them blush. I get the impression, though, that Ovation equally happy to be part of Horse Nation!

Amy Pembleton from Ovation’s parent company, English Riding Supply, sent us the following message: “A Standing Ovation to Horse Nation for a job well done. We are proud to be partnered with such an incredible community.”

Thanks, Amy! Here’s to a great partnership.

Go Ovation, and Go Riding.
