Horse Dazzle
Our story began with a young girl and her beloved black Morgan horse, Brandi, galloping through the woods in pure, unbridled freedom. Those early rides left an indelible mark, but as life moved forward—with college, career, and new adventures—her love for horses lay dormant for many years.
Later in life, a change English dressage lesson sparked a profound journey. Rediscovering her love of riding brought her and her husband into a remarkable new world of friendships, discipline, and self-discovery. Through her brilliant trainer’s guidance, she embraced the art of dressage, a journey requiring dedication, open-mindedness, vulnerability to adult learning, and a genuine connection with the horse.
As her passion reignited, so did her appreciation for stylish equestrian accessories. After struggling to find bold, sophisticated, high-quality, and affordable brow bands and saddle pads, she set out to create Horse Dazzle, a brand dedicated to bringing a curated collection of dazzling equine accents together, inspired by the love and bond between horse and rider.
Our mission at Horse Dazzle is to curate a selection of exquisite, high-quality, and unique luxury equestrian items that are accessible and affordable for horse lovers who want to shine above.
We believe that riding is more than just a sport; it’s an art, a lifestyle, and a journey of personal expression.
Our philosophy is to elevate this experience by offering elegant, timeless, and accessible accessories that celebrate the bond between horse and rider. We strive to make high-quality, stylish equestrian gear readily available so that every rider can feel confident, empowered, and stylish, whether in the arena or on a casual ride.
We believe in the transformative power of elegance and functionality, ensuring that our pieces are as practical as they are beautiful.

Kerrits Equestrian Apparel
At Kerrits, we believe every rider deserves to feel confident, comfortable, and empowered in the saddle. Equestrian sports are built on the values of partnership, perseverance, and community, and those values should extend to every rider, regardless of shape or size. That’s why size inclusivity is more than a product offering at Kerrits; it’s a core part of who we are.
For more than two decades, Kerrits has proudly offered plus-size riding apparel as part of our core collection. Long before size inclusivity became a broader industry conversation, we recognized that riders come in all shapes and sizes and deserve technical apparel designed to help them perform at their best. Our commitment has always been to create products that allow more equestrians to participate in the sport they love with confidence and comfort.
For too long, many riders have struggled to find apparel that fits well, performs at a high level, and makes them feel like they belong. Limited sizing has created unnecessary barriers in a sport that should welcome everyone. Kerrits is committed to changing that by designing technical riding apparel that celebrates the diversity of today’s equestrian community.
Our approach begins with thoughtful design. We don’t simply scale patterns up or down. We develop garments that are engineered to fit and flatter a wide range of body types while delivering the comfort, flexibility, and performance riders expect. From breeches and tights to outerwear and tops, every piece is created with real riders in mind, ensuring that function and style are never compromised by size.
Size inclusivity is about more than expanding a size range. It’s about sending a clear message that every equestrian deserves to be seen, supported, and represented. Whether you’re competing in the show ring, riding the trails, working around the barn, or enjoying time with your horse, your apparel should help you focus on what matters most: the ride.
