Animo, Pikeur, and Spooks Popular And We Can See Why...

If you want to look like you belong in that show ring, consider buying a Spooks, Animo, or Pikeur riding jacket.  Even some of the hunters are wearing them.  Finally, a riding jacket that compliments a figure not make us look like a box.  No overheating and throw in the washer.  Remember when riding jackets only came in like 2 colors and were made of wool, yuck...say good by to those days!

Consider buying from overseas, it may save you a few bucks.  Most of the stuff is cheaper in the UK. For example, a Spooks riding jacket could cost you as little as $300 (see elbow patch below), but at a tack store you could spend up to $450 on that same jacket!

Pikeur Jackets.  Note, you can find some on dover.com in the $200 range.

This is my favorite Pikeur, called the Epsom, comes in 36 different combinations.  You can switch out the velvet collar and piping!  $400.00

Pikeur Irina Show Jacket in Bronze and black.  More affordable options on ebay for $324.00!

Check out more styles on their trailer...

Animo An Italy based equestrian company, they also have golf clothes...and cute pockets!  Some of the offerings are not found in the US very easily so if you find something you really like the best way is to order from a UK based company like Equiporium.

This Animo jacket is my favorite, the Lasal, it's just stylish enough but remains traditional.

Animo Lenny Jacket comes with crystal detailing in black, grey, navy, and red.

Animo Lorely Jacket, with some cute zippers and detailing

Animo has some very pretty color options

The 2013 Video Promo Video.  Besides their jackets, they have the cutest breeches.

Spooks, an Australian based company and really popular in America.  Their jackets run between $300-$500.

One of my favorites, the brown.  This would look so cute with a brown velvet helmet

They tend to stay a little more traditional then Animo, but still have some fun colors.

 Love the pink piping!

If I bought one it most certainly would have the elbow patch!  $308, not bad!
