Take a look at innovative riding breech technology with FITS designer

We all have had trouble getting our breeches on, issues with chafing and more importantly actually finding a pair that just fit! Did we say FITS?

This episode Angelea takes a look at an innovative technology in breeches and learns about their design first hand from developer and entrepreneur Sheryl Rudolph. Do you like FITS breeches? Would you like to have a pair of your own? You can buy a pair online at the gear at HorseGirlTV!

FITS (fitsriding.com) is an Oregon based company dedicated to the art and science of riding apparel. FITS patent pending products are the result of an intense pursuit of giving the wearer an enduring advantage and comfortable fit. The FITS design team are themselves riders, with years of state of the art athletic product development experience. All FITS designs are born out of repeated trial and an unmatched commitment to quality. FITS has raised the bar for technical innovation in equestrian wear.

Thank you from the Team at Equine Trader.

Thank goodness the days will start to get longer now! For those of you who don't know, I have placed up my last blog about my journey with Bella and her laminitis. It was a long hard road and was very hard to write. If anything I hope you learn about this horrible disease and what it can do to your horse. Its especially hard to look at when you look at the x-ray with her pedal bone out of her foot!
