Robert B. Chavez, President and CEO of Hermès USA comments: “The horse was our first client and equestrian sport remains at the heart of the culture of the House today. Since Hermès was founded in 1837 as a saddlery, our ateliers have been dedicated to the making of the finest hand-crafted equestrian equipment. This new partnership with the USEF represents our continued commitment, ensuring that riders and horses alike have access to the very best available products to meet the demands of competition at the highest level.” USEF President Chrystine Tauber said, “The USEF is delighted to welcome Hermès as a partner and supporter of our U.S. Show Jumping Team. The United States has a long history with Hermès and we are looking forward to adding a new chapter to our partnership." World-renowned for the exceptional quality of its products thanks to a steadfast commitment to handcraftsmanship and use of only the finest materials, Hermès was established in 1837 as a saddle and harness maker with ateliers on the Faubourg St. Honoré in Paris. Hermès was first exhibited in New York during the French Exposition of 1924 with the first boutique opening in Manhattan in 1928. Today Hermès perpetuates its passionate commitment to the equestrian world providing a complete product range for the horse, for the rider and for the stable.
