Alex Granato and Day Glow sport the Oaklyn Terra Fancy Stitch Fleece Girth in the main hunter ring. Photo M4E Oaklyn’s state of the art girths are made of recycled polyester, harvested from plastic soda and water bottles, (15 bottles make one girth) and humanely sourced wool. The wool is obtained from American farmers who adhere to strict animal husbandry and land management standards, ensuring both the sheep and earth are treated humanely and respectfully. While the polyester used in Oaklyn’s girths is much more energy efficient and reduces

greenhouse gas emissions, the quality is not sacrificed as these girths are durable and beautiful. Twin sisters Laura Santomauro and Emily Barrett of Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania, bring something new and unprecedented to the equestrian world with their eco-friendly products to create the innovative company, which is taking a greener approach to produce stunning fleece and non-slip girths.
