About Tredstep Ireland
In 1993, Irish entrepreneur and Three-Day Event rider Aidan Keogh saw the need for a better half chap, and set out to create his own. A former design student who studied fine arts, Keogh believed that he could improve the comfort and performance of riding wear, while respecting the traditions of a Centuries-old sport. His product eventually redefined the market and brought half-chaps to the mainstream where they are now standard equipment for every rider. Along the way he created Tredstep Ireland, a company driving innovation, but ever respectful of the traditional roots of equestrian sport.
The company now offers a complete collection of chaps, boots and accessories including the newly released Raphael tall boot of their superior Renaissance Collection, to make the riding experience more enjoyable. For more information on our products, please visit us at http://www.tredstep.com.
