Welcome to 2016! It’s that time again, the Olympics in Rio are approaching, so *get pumped up!* At Equestrianstylist.com, we are excited about promoting our home here in the U.S.A, and especially products made-in-America. We are proud to introduce you a fabulous new brand that just launched this season called United Saddlery. Founded by Carey Radtke, United Saddlery is built on “continuing the legacy of the US Cavalry horse.” Because the equestrian sport dates back to U.S. Cavalry times, United Saddlery is dedicated to emphasizing style from the old world and transitioning it to modern times. United Saddlery’s first product, a high quality sand cast replica of the U.S Cavalry belt worn in cir. 1839-1874, is the perfect accessory for 2016.
As we continue to change and evolve through times in fashion and trends, it’s refreshing to see a classic accessory that brings back an iconic piece of history from traditional equestrian style.
A little history about the U.S. Cavalry
Cavalry held the most important and respected role in the American Military during the American Civil War Era (1861-1865) (Sayers, Alethea D. “Introduction To Civil War Cavalry”. ehistory archive. Ohio State University Department of History. Retrieved 2008-11-02.)
Frank, the horse, first saw action at Gettysburg on July 1st 1863. He proceeded to participate in 14 more battles. After the war he was purchased by his soldier and remained with him the rest of his life.
Quality is everything. The US belt is crafted with high quality saddle leather that will darken over time with each ride. This belt fits perfectly in the belt loops of “A” level competition show breeches.
The United Saddlery belt buckles are a sand cast high-quality brass pattern formed from an original relic. It’s a classic equestrian style accessory that can be worn at the barn, in the show ring, or with a casual boho-chic outfit.
Available in black and brown, this belt is the perfect accessory for the 2016 Olympic year. Show the support for your team and embrace the history of equestrian sports with United Saddlery.
