COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the equestrian apparel industry significantly. Strict social distancing norms and lockdown regulations shut down social, recreational, and sports events globally. Several equestrian events and popular horse racing shows were forced to cease activities during the pandemic. Moreover, social distancing norms made it difficult to host equestrian shows at full capacity, restricting the demand for equestrian apparel in the wake of the pandemic.
