FITS Logo

I rode in FITS for the first time at the 2010 World equestrian games. I loved the look and feel of the breeches, however it wasn't until the water jump that I realized just how incredible the FITS breeches were!

Exponential took a huge leap off the bounce bank into the water and I am quite sure that FITS breeches were a major part of why I was able to stay on Exponential and finish the cross country course. To this day I never ride in anything but FITS!
