Ariat International is pleased to announce that it has been named Manufacturer of the Year by Tack ’n Togs Merchandising, a leading publication in the equine trade industry for 39 years.

Although Tack ‘n Togs’ annual Best of the Best awards usually includes both English and Western Manufacturers of the Year, Ariat was the sole recipient of this year’s award since the company makes both English and Western products. Profiles of each of the award recipients will be featured in the May 2009 issue of Tack ’n Togs.
