Lexington, KY—The United States Equestrian Federation is pleased to announce the newest supplier of horse blankets to the Federation—Blue Ribbon Custom Blankets by Royal Riders. Holding a rich tradition of excellence in equine clothing, Royal Riders has been producing some of the best horse blankets in the industry for nearly 30 years; hunter and equitation enthusiast Janet Graham has been at the helm for the last 13. Graham says the company has evolved quite a bit since its initial conception, and now covers three lines of manufacturing—an imported line, a semi-custom line, and the Blue Ribbon Custom Blanket line.

“Our Blue Ribbon line is the best of the best,” says Graham, also the owner of Royal Riders. “They’re designed and manufactured right here in California. It’s the best quality the industry has to offer.”

Now Royal Riders’ best of the best will be supplied to the Federation, bringing high quality wools, wool-cashmere blends, quilting and impeccable attention to every last detail. These Blue Ribbon blankets will adorn Champion and Reserve Champions at USEF Championships, as well as Grand Champions for Horse of the Year and Silver Stirrup Awards—fitting rewards for such prestigious accomplishments.

“The reason that it was important to me was two fold. I live this life. I’m a member of the USEF,” Graham says. “It’s also a great honor to participate in supporting the horse show world. Especially with the USEF, which is so highly regarded across so many disciplines.”

“What I do, I do because of my passion for the sport, the animals and the love of the whole industry,” Graham continues. “This is not something I do to make money. I do this because I love it and I live it.”
