Our Story
The KUNKLE Glove took over three years to craft and was designed and tested by riders, from beginners to Grand Prix Olympians. Our Glove was designed and tested by riders for riders! The creators of this glove along with some of the nation’s most admirable riders have undergone years of trial and error to take the most desirable qualities of the market’s leading glove and improve on its flaws and create the ultimate product for you!
The KUNKLE PREMIUM SHOW GLOVE is the clear cut winner compared to any other on the market, and the attributes that make this true are noticeable after the first ride to anyone who gives them a try! Our glove lasts over twice as long as the leading competitor while still maintaining that soft leather feel all riders know and love.
It dries out between each and every ride which means no more soggy gloves the next morning. And, when they do need them cleaned, YES they are washable too! The KUNKLE Glove is also touch screen compatible — and no this won’t stop working a week into use as it does with other gloves! Our glove has a second skin feel with an improved grip. All of this for almost half the cost of the top selling glove in the USA.
Kennedi Kunkle - Owner/Founder
Kennedi is a 21 year old junior at the College of Charleston majoring in international business and minoring in global logistics and transportation. With the help of her father, Ken, she developed the original Kunkle Show Glove which launched to market midway through her sophomore year of high school. Originally from a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Kennedi is looking forward to a finance internship in West Palm Beach, Florida this summer and studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain in the fall of her senior year.
Kennedi began showing horses seven years ago. As a junior rider she showed in the equitation and junior hunters. Since aging out, Kennedi has focused her time in the hunter ring qualifying for and riding at prestigious events on her long term mount “Schimmy” including USHJA International Derby Finals and Hunter Grand Prix by Split Rock Jumping Tour among other various international derbies around the country. Going forward, Kennedi is excited to explore her new developing love for the jumper ring with her current mount “Quiriana”.
