Dover Saddlery, a well-known equestrian retailer in the United States, is facing potential liquidation sales across its remaining stores, including locations in Moorpark and Moraga, California. Founded in 1975 by equestrian riders Jim and David Powers, the company has grown into the largest equestrian retailer in the country. However, financial difficulties have led to the closure of its elite stores in Laguna Hills and Sacramento. The Boston-based restructuring firm Gordon Brothers, which acquired Dover in late April, is preparing to initiate liquidation sales unless a viable deal to sell the company is found. The situation worsened when Dover filed a Massachusetts WARN notice, indicating that 112 employees at its Littleton headquarters and distribution center could be laid off between July 7 and July 20. A source mentioned that unless “something heroic happens,” liquidation sales could begin soon, marking a significant loss for horse owners and riders who have relied on Dover as a trusted name in equestrian supplies.
