As a multi-year supporter of the CSI 4*-W horse show, Hermès will continue to enhance the AGC with its presence as a maker of high-quality equestrian products crafted for horse, rider and barn.

Our products are made to meet the demands of competition at the highest level to ensure the highest possible quality. We are proud to celebrate a long-standing relationship with this very special event thanks to the excellent caliber of riders and beautiful scenic setting."
An expert in leathercraft since 1837, Hermès continually seeks to perfect the technical performance of its equestrian equipment. Its master saddlers work in close collaboration with riders and their horses to customize each new saddle to the exact measurements of the horse that will wear it. At the 2019 AGC, Hermès is proud to present Hermès Vivace, a close-contact jumping saddle perfectly accommodated to the specificities of the American riding style.
