Caring For Your
Equestrian Lifestyle Clothing
Our Equestrian Lifestyle clothing is proudly made in New Brunswick, Canada, using direct to film transfers. To keep the designs looking fresh, we recommend washing the garment inside out with warm or cool water, and either tumble dry on a low temperature or hang it up to dry. Just a little reminder, please avoid ironing directly on the design.
It's important to note that anything that causes the material to shrink may result in wrinkles on the design. To minimize this, we carefully select pre-shrunk garments. However, there may still be a little shrinkage when washing and drying at high temperatures. Personally, I treat my own Equestrian Lifestyle pieces just like any other clothing and haven't encountered any issues.
I am now using the "Direct to film" printing process to add even more vibrant colors to my designs. The films used are printed in Nova Scotia and then lovingly applied right here at my home in New Brunswick.
DTF, or Direct to Film, is a new technology which allows a design to be printed, with specially formulated inks, onto special clear polyester film. A powder adhesive coating is then applied. A heat press activates the adhesive, allowing the image to bond securely with the clothing. Once the heat press is lifted, the film is cooled and peeled away, and a vibrant, full-color image has been perfectly transferred.
We’re now using sublimation transfers on our sunshirts, printed in Nova Scotia and designed specifically for 100% polyester fabrics.
Sublimation uses heat and pressure to infuse specialized dyes directly into the fibers, creating a permanent, ultra-smooth, and lightweight finish. The result is a soft feel with a clean, seamless look—while slightly more subtle in appearance compared to DTF due to the transparent nature of the inks.
Care is simple—just follow the same instructions as our DTF shirts.
