As a company, we are very aware of our carbon footprint, which is why we continue to review our eco-equestrian credentials to see how we can have less impact on our beautiful planet.

As horse riders, we are connected to nature in many ways, from the horses we care for to the countryside we enjoy hacking within. This blog explains more about what we are doing as a business to support the globe.

Plant A Tree For Every Order

Since October 2021, we have planted a tree for every order we receive. To date, we have planted well more than 3,000 trees via our partnership with Ecologi, all thanks to your support and sales! Giving back something to the planet is important to Equetech and horse riders.

Eco-Rider Clothing 

We continue to innovate and lead the way in eco-equestrian clothing. Our clothes are manufactured to stand the test of time, and we don't create for landfill. We make clothing to fit your lifestyle and cope with the reality of equestrian life in the yard and in the saddle. Many customers have garments they purchased from us ten or more years ago and are still wearing and enjoying them. We only use 'Bio-Down' fill in our jackets, gilets and coats. This fill is eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and superior in feel and performance, a win, win!

Our new Utopia Long Waterproof Coat is our most sustainable and eco garment to date, complete with its BLUEPRINT credentials.

We also incorporate recycled fabrics into our collections. Our Cable Knit Recycled Waterproof Hat, Cable Knit Recycled Headband and Cable Knit Recycled Snood are perfect examples of how eco-fashion and function can combine!
 

Eco-Equestrian Credentials That Are Proudly British

We still manufacture all our underwear and custom garments here in the UK at our dedicated factory. We are proud to support British workers, ensuring we employ our native workforce here in the UK wherever we can. By manufacturing here in the UK where possible, their carbon footprint is much lower than products shipped halfway across the world.

 
Recyclable Plastic Packaging

We swapped over to our current recyclable plastic shipping bags and clothing bags 2 years ago and never looked back. We are always looking at ways to improve our packaging, and this is something we are periodically reviewing.  

And Our Latest Eco-Pledge..

From November 2022, we will give a free pack of 'Tree Bombs' on selected *orders. These Treebombs are handmade Alder and Maple Tree Seedballs. Made from protective clay, nutritious soil, charcoal and 100's of Alder Tree seeds, they are designed and calculated to protect the seed during germination.

Our Treebombs make mass tree planting possible for many who realise that the climate crisis is urgent and the solutions are in our hands.

Treebombs are essentially seed balls. Seedballs are an ancient way of planting seeds. They avoid the destruction reaped by tilling and reducing the labour required to plant at scale. The clay protects the seed whilst they germinate, and the soil and charcoal provide the environment and nutrients the seeds need to flourish.
