The Rider's Closet accepts donations of new and gently used riding attire and provides it to equestrians in need around the country. We serve individuals of all ages and at every level of horsemanship.
If you're switching out your seasonal gear or have items you no longer need or have outgrown, we will ensure that they will go to a happy new home. We accept all show and schooling apparel/boots for adults and children. For safety reasons, the only items we cannot accept are helmets and protective riding vests.
We currently are most in need of tan show breeches in all sizes, show coats in ladies' sizes 0-6, youth schooling breeches/tights and tops, and paddock boots. Children, tweens and teens are the largest groups we serve, and smaller ladies' sizes and youth sizes are always in the highest demand. Please know, however, that anything you send will be of help and is greatly appreciated.
Founded by Georgina Bloomberg in 2006, The Rider's Closet became an EQUUS Foundation program in 2019. All donations to The Rider's Closet are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Recipients of Rider's Closet apparel include equestrians from scholastic riding programs, pony clubs, veterans programs, therapeutic riding centers, equestrian camp programs, equine charities, programs for disadvantaged youth, and individual riders in need. Our list of recipients grows every year, and our ability to serve them is only possible because generous riders and equestrian apparel companies keep the donations coming!
Donors can mail their donations directly to us. CLICK HERE for details and a donation form (required only if you would like an acknowledgement for taxes). We also have year-round donation collection at Brennan's Bit & Bridle in Bridgehampton, NY, and Manhattan Saddlery in NYC.
Donors local to our workshop in Westchester County, NY, are welcome to make an appointment to drop off a donation. To schedule an appointment, check with us regarding what we can accept, or learn more about the program, contact us at riderscloset@equusfoundation.org.
On behalf of the thousands of riders who ask us to help make their equestrian dreams come true, thank you in advance for your generous and much-needed support!
