Sisters of Equestrian
Our Hello Sister list of some of favorite women-owned equestrian brands. We have created videos for some of them.
Founder Noel Asmar is a self-taught designer with an innate sense of fashion, a passion for travel (her journeys have taken her to over 35 countries), and a lifelong love of horses. She has won numerous accolades within the fashion and equestrian industries. Living in the unpredictable climate of Vancouver, she needed a jacket that allowed her to be out with the horses, rain or shine. And so, the infamous All Weather Rider was born. A smart, chic outwear piece made from a water and wind resistant fabric to keep you warm and dry. Asmar Equestrian apparel consistently fills the functional an aesthetic gap Noel saw in the equestrian marketplace: an elevated look coupled with practical functionality, at an accessible price point.
BarnManager, founded by rider and Babson College graduate Nicole Lakin, is a modern barn management software and mobile app tools to help end the paper trail and stay on top of records, appointments, competitions, lesson schedules, and more. BarnManager is used by many top riders, like Jessica Springsteen.
Located in Dedham, Massachusetts, EquiFit was founded by Alexandra Cherubini, a graduate of Bates College, who sought a way to combine her career with her love of horseback riding. EquiFit designs and manufactures technologically advanced products for horses and top riders throughout the world, such as McLain Ward, Jessica Springsteen, and Brianne Goutal. Its first product, ShouldersBack™, was featured in an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in recognition of its outstanding function and design. The success encouraged Alexandra to develop a line of products based on a material called T-Foam™, a shock-absorbing material that conforms to each horse’s body for a custom fit, every time.
