Our sustainability concept
for a brighter future in equestrian sports
The Advantages of Uppeal (formerly AppleSkin)
Harnessing the natural beauty of Uppeal, we create durable and eco-friendly horse harnesses. Here’s why Uppeal is a game-changer in equestrian gear:
Sustainability: Uppeal is a byproduct of the apple juice industry, which would otherwise go to waste. By utilizing this material, we reduce waste and promote a circular economy.
Plant-Based and Cruelty-Free: Our harnesses are 100% plant-based, ensuring no harm to animals. We are proud to offer cruelty-free alternatives that align with modern values.
Durability: Uppeal is remarkably durable and resilient, making it perfect for the equestrian activities. Your horse’s harness will withstand years of use without compromising quality.
Breathability: Uppeal is naturally breathable, allowing air circulation and preventing discomfort for your horse during extended rides.
Our Sustainable Production Process:
We are committed to sustainability at every stage of our production process:
Material Sourcing: As manufacturers, we collaborate with environmentally-conscious production partners i.e. who specialize in upcycling apple juice waste into Uppeal.
No Tanning Process: We bypass the tanning process, thereby minimizing environmental impact by reducing chemical usage and conserving precious drinking water resources.
Artisan Craftsmanship: Our skilled artisans handcraft each harness with precision and care, ensuring quality and longevity.
Bio-Compostable Packaging: We use bio-compostable packaging materials to further reduce our environmental impact.
Benefits for Horses and Riders::
Our sustainable horse harnesses offer numerous benefits for both horses and riders:
Comfort: The breathable nature of Uppeal ensures that horses stay comfortable during long rides, reducing the risk of chafing or irritation.
Durability: Our harnesses are designed to last, providing riders with a reliable and long-lasting product.
Plant-based and Ethical: Riders can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their gear is cruelty-free and aligned with their ethical values.
Eco-Conscious: Riders can take pride in using gear that actively contributes to a greener planet.
