Kyra Kyrklund, An Innovative Rider and Trainer

Fashion Designer - The Kyra K Line

There is no denying that the sport of dressage has changed, and with that change, the demand for practical wear for both barn and arena and tools for riders in all situations emerged. Prior to the burst of equestrian fashion, riders often rode in clothing that wasn't designed to do the job, or designed to do another job.

Kyra has been on the forefront of the start of the practical tools for the tool box.

"A friend of mine was into clothes and he wanted to do something with the rider that was practical," said Kyra. "What we wanted was practical, durable and it had to fit in for everyday."

Since its inception, Snow Hall has been the testing grounds for breeches, whips, jackets, shirts and an assortment of items that have become increasingly popular in Europe, and now the United States. The Kyra K Clothing line is one of the most popular and enduring favorites for riders around the globe. Every detail in her jacket is thought out, including the famous "sugar pocket" where treats are stored for reward.
