AQHA and Carroll Original Wear are teaming up to bring unique products of exceptional quality to AQHA members, American Quarter Horse Owners, exhibitors and affiliates. Beginning in 2023, Carroll Original Wear is the official soft-goods supplier of AQHA, including jackets, caps, t-shirts, hoodies and accessories.

Carroll Original Wear’s story began over 20 years ago with the desire to provide quality custom leather jackets, outerwear and accessories to rodeos and other unique events.

“We are excited to be the official soft goods supplier of AQHA,” said Chad Fairchild, vice president of Carroll Companies. “This partnership offers quality AQHA-branded merchandise and awards by Carroll and sister company STS Ranchwear to AQHA members and AQHA affiliates to utilize throughout year. We are well known not only for our creative and custom products, but also for the relationships built over the years by investing in the needs of our western industry. To do business with AQHA and all the members of the largest and oldest breed registry in the world is exciting for us.”
