Being recognised by Swiss Ladies Drive is a meaningful milestone for Equinetree.

The Business Sisterhood Feature
The four-page feature covers our journey from idea to product — how we set out to create equestrian tack that doesn't rely on animal leather, why we chose Uppeal as our core material, and what it means to build a purpose-driven brand in the equestrian industry. The editors captured the essence of what drives us: the conviction that performance tack can be planet-friendly without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
Uppeal in the Spotlight
Our bridles, personalised halters, stirrup straps, and reins are all crafted from Uppeal — a next-generation, leather-free material made from apple pomace. The Ladies Drive feature highlights how this material challenges the assumption that premium equestrian equipment must come from traditional leather. It's proof that innovation and tradition can coexist beautifully.
A Platform for Change
A heartfelt thank you to the editors at Swiss Ladies Drive for championing women-led innovation and giving Equinetree this platform. Features like this help spread the message that sustainable, ethical choices are available in equestrian sport — and that they perform at the highest level.
