Top brands line up as buyers head for Texas.
This month’s American equestrian trade show is “the biggest AETA International to date since the event moved to Dallas,” say organisers.
Established international brands are set to appear alongside newcomer exhibitors at Dallas Market Center on 22 – 25 January.
The AETA International trade show runs concurrently with the Western & English Sales Association (WESA) trade show.
A highlight at AETA International this year is the opening of a ‘neighbourhood’ of permanent showrooms hosting new collections of apparel, accessories, footwear and tack.
"Our English lifestyle marketplace is growing, and we look forward to welcoming retailers from around the world to the expanded show," says Cindy Morris, president and CEO of the Dallas Market Center.
Who’s exhibiting?
Newcomers to AETA include Montar, Butet Saddles, Vestrum, Nunn Finer Products, CommonWealth Saddles, Werner Christ and V2 Designs.
Names to be found in the permanent showrooms include 5 Star Equine Products & Supplies, Amahorse, Ariat International, Cuttinup Show Blankets, Draw It Out Horse Health Care Solutions, Equestrian International Products, ERS, Horseware Products, JPC Equestrian, K&D Equestrian, LeMieux, Majyk Brands, Next One Equestrian / EKKIA USA and Shires Equestrian.
Welcome party
AETA buyers are invited to the show’s Grand Opening Party on Wednesday, 22 January. Drinks, food and “exciting giveaways” are promised.
New buyers and anyone needing help navigating Dallas Market Center can attend The DMC Scoop in the Atrium at 9am daily for an orientation tour.
The AETA and WESA shows are adjacent to the Women’s Apparel & Accessories Market and KidsWorld (January 21-24) and the Dallas Men’s Show (January 25-27).
