"Lugano Diamonds is thrilled to be recognized as a leader in the equestrian community," Ferder stated.

We are passionate about the work Brooke USA is doing for working equines. As a global brand, we've seen the suffering of these working horses, donkeys and mules first hand. We hope our involvement not only makes a change in their lives, but also in the communities they serve."
