About Our Company

Ed James startedSSG Gloves 25 years ago to serve the unique needs of the harness horse driver. An owner of harness horses for the past 30 years, James says drivers started telling him they needed better gloves." You have to listen to what the customers want, and then you have to provide it for them," he says. "Listening the what the drivers were saying lead to the development of the first gloves we ever sold. They needed a glove that would keep their hands warm, but with out any bulk. They need flexibility."  The resounding success of that first glove spawned a sustained demand in the horse industry, where gloves were once considered almost an afterthought of the tack manufacturing business. Before long, SSG began developing gloves for the needs of other potential customers. Working with suppliers around the world, the SSG Glove range now features more than 60 styles to meet the unique needs of diverse disciplines, including show jumping, dressage, all event shows, eventing, rodeo, and polo. There is also a line of general work gloves that are at home on the trails, as well as working around the barn. SSG Gloves is international company with retailers around the world including U.S. , Canada, Ireland, the U.K., Europe, and Australia
