And so I delved into research on horse riding pants. I found very limited options, and ended up spending far too much money on pants that didn't fit right, didn't perform right, and/or looked ridiculous on. The only pants I could find to fit my "non-conforming, non-model" body were completely out of my price range. I just couldn't fathom spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of riding pants that were destined to get filthy. So I decided to make my own horse riding pants in the late fall of 2006 using the materials that I knew would perform properly. Within a few weeks, friends were asking if I could make pairs for them, and then it just snowballed from there. The end result was the formation of Fuzzy Logic Equine, Inc. (inspired by my beloved and very fuzzy Icelandic Horse, Osp fra Litla-Dal).
I truly understand the frustrations with finding a high performing, great fitting, reasonably priced pair of horse riding pants. My goal has been, and will always be to help riders find reasonably priced, high performance equestrian riding apparel that really looks flattering on all bodies!

The History Behind Fuzzy Logic Equine, Inc.™
I've ridden all my life, at all times of the year and mostly outdoors. Temperatures in northern Michigan, U.S.A. can range from -20 degrees Fahrenheit (yes, that's 20 BELOW zero) up to a sweltering 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Because of the this wild swing in weather conditions, I've had the opportunity to demo test a wide variety of fabrics and riding gear in a wide variety of weather conditions.
I also happen to be extremely particular about my equestrian riding apparel. I can't stand having multiple layers of pants between my horse and I - I need to feel what's going on under me at all times! Additionally, I often find myself crunched for time (sound familiar?), and therefore needing to stop and run errands while still wearing my riding gear. Unfortunately, I don't have a body that looks good in breeches or tights, and prefer not to be seen "in the public" with them on.
