What We Do
There is a unique emotional bond between horse
and rider that can’t be easily explained. We’re
equestrians, and our passion for this way of life
defines everything we do: the clothes we wear
the friends we have, how we spend our
time, and the place we call home.
Horses Define Who We Are
At Schneiders, we understand that bond,
and we’ve built our company around
helping the horse community care for
our equine partners.
We’re obsessed with horse blankets that
fit and equipment that simplifies your
stable. We support you whether you
ride trails, compete nationally or
something in between.
Because horses define who we are too.
Who’s we? It’s all of us.
Riders. And Schneiders. Since 1948.
