Talkin' Bout the Fabbri Generation: Boots with Timeless Style
EQUINIUM SPORTS _ Wellington, FL (November 27, 2020) - From the roar of a Olympic stadium to the stoic patience of a rider's first pony, every moment in the saddle is timeless. With a vision to create a boot as relevant and enduring as the equine on the human psyche, Fratelli Fabbri has crafted a riding boot that endures the test of time. With generations of riders zipping up their Fabbris before swinging into the saddle, the standard style, innovation, and performance hand stitched into each pair speaks for itself across the generations. A group of rising stars in the pony divisions, hunters, U25, and Grand Prix level choose Fabbri as their foundation in the show ring, while Olympic Medalists and international competitors from around the globe have earned some of their highest accolades while wearing the iconic diamond Fabbri logo.
Kat Fuqua, who has been in Fabbri tall boots since 2017 and the age of ten, captured some of the nation's top pony titles in her first pair of tall boots. This fall, she and Grand Remo were the Overall Junior Grand Champion Junior Hunter at the National Horse Show, and went on to clinch the ESP Pre Charity Double Junior Hunter 3'6" Champion in a California split, along with the top prize in the ASPCA Maclay and Dover Seat Medal classes. A dynamic rider, she is also competing at the FEI level in dressage, having captured two of the three required scores for her USDF Silver Medal with her dancing partner, Dream Girl, who arrived in the US last spring.
Some of show jumping's top young professionals are also a part of the #FabbriFamily, including wunderkinds Brian Moggre, Lillie Keenan, and Daisy Farrish. Moggre, a FEI Youth Regional Championships Bronze Medalist, is now competing at the top of the sport at only 19. This summer and fall saw top finishes for Moggre at the American Gold Cup, Tyron Resort, and Palm Beach International Equestrian Center at the Grand Prix level.
Two of the sport's leading ladies, Daisy Farish and Lillie Keenan, have also been riding in Fabbri for years and were instrumental in the development of the Fabbri VEG. The Grand Prix talents tested the durability and rideability of Fabbri's unique vegan leather, with the goal of creating a beautiful, functional boot that surpasses the standard leather boot in longevity and performance. Keenan, who graduated from Harvard University in 2019, packs not only brains but show jumping brawn with top finishes this fall, including third place in the President's Cup Grand Prix CSI4-star at the Washington International Horse Show. Farish is equally as accomplished, riding her iconic Great White, aka Bruce after the mechanical shark of JAWS fame, at the CSI4-star level.
No matter the age or experience level, Fabbri has handcrafted custom equestrian footwear for almost 100 years. The quality and detail can be seen in their children's tall boots, who's craftsmanship and comfort are eclipsed only by their adorableness. Every Fabbri boot is at the minimum semi-custom, and comes with time-tested, rider approved features to create the perfect fit and maximize durability. Their off-the-rack, ready to ride PRO boot features an elastic gusset system made with recycled plastic, and molds elegantly to the leg for a second skin feel. The reinforced YKK zipper is backed by an industry leading 6-month warrunty, and additional design details include seamless faux toe stitching for durability, zipper keepers, and Fabbri engineered spur stoppers. The Fabbri VEG includes all of the unique Fabbri elements incorporated onto a boot constructed of apple derived vegan leather, while the Fabbri custom crafts each boot to its rider in parallels of style, color, texture, fit, and accents.
Fabbri's elegant juxtaposition of classic Italian craftsmanship with modern innovation has made Fabbri the choice of top riders and Olympians from the hunter ring to the cross country course and everywhere in between.
