We had the pleasure of joining Olga Kuck and Mirjam Schaffner on Kurzgseit, Switzerland's first equestrian podcast, to talk about leather alternative based on apple pomace, sustainable tack, and what drives Equinetree forward.

From time to time, guest speakers join to share their expertise.
Sustainable in the Saddle: Leather alternative based on apple pomace Put to the Test
In this 39-minute episode, we sat down with Olga and Mirjam to discuss what Pomatura actually is, how apple industry waste becomes a durable material for equestrian use, and why we believe plant-based alternatives can match and exceed traditional leather in performance. We also shared the story behind Equinetree and what motivates us to rethink how equestrian equipment is made.
