MEET OUR TEAM!
ASHLEY
Hi there! I'm Ashley, an almost-30-year-old, living in Virginia Beach, VA, with my husband and daughter. I grew up on a farm, so have been riding since I was very little. I am a certified Centered Riding and PATH Instructor who teaches with a focus on centered riding for all disciplines, but my passion is the art of dressage. Outside of riding, I love the day to day activities of managing our barn and spending time with my family.
From the moment I heard of Hart Outfitters, I was immediately impressed by the tenacity of the two creators. Their vision is carried through their brand, from the athletic pieces to the functional accessories. Of all the products, the belt is hands down my favorite, as it is fully adjustable to any size!

Olesya
HI! My name is Olesya and I am 22 living in the United States. I am training in Dressage and Showjumping right now and I hope to be a professional showjumper! My dream would be to be apart of the Global Champions League. Some passions I have outside of riding is traveling and teaching others how to communicate with their horses.
One thing I love about Hart Outfitters is the fitness/equestrian dynamic! I think this brand has a fabulous "wow factor". The Hart Outfitters team did an amazing job standing out. The second I saw their page I was wowed and always wondered if I would ever be blessed with such an opportunity to represent them. So what can we say? Dreams really do come true
JESSICA
Hi hello! I am Jessica, but most people call me Jess. I am a 3rd level USDF bronze medalist based out of Wisconsin. I have been riding for 17 years and have dabbled in just about everything from natural horsemanship, jumping, and trail, but my passion is for dressage. Outside of riding, I am a bodybuilder and also a part time strength coach. I was drawn to Hart Outfitters because it brings fitness and equestrianism together. I am a huge advocate for equestrians treating themselves as the athletes they are by cross training, fueling their body, and becoming stronger inside and out. Hart's clothing makes it easy to go from the gym to the barn in style!

Hi everyone! My name is Kiara and I am 22 located outside the Vancouver area of British Columbia, Canada. My horse is named Otto who competes in the jumpers with me. I have been riding for 16 years. Outside of riding, I am a full-time student at university where I am studying biology. I love being partnered with Hart Outfitters, they are the kindest people ever and create beautiful clothes for at the barn or everyday wear. I contribute to the equestrian community by working at horse shows with the course designers to ensure everything is set to sport guidelines.

SHAQ
Hi! I’m Shaq. I’m a 28 year old from Boston, MA. I’ve been riding for almost two years, and am a hunter/jumper. I own two bay, OTTB geldings named Moose & Bear. They are my first horses, and have taught me so much in the last year.
One thing I adore about Hart is the minimalist vibe and how versatile everything is - I can wear my LS Baselayer with jeans, leggings or breeches. The classic colours and attention to detail gives each piece a super luxe feel, so I can feel fancy without breaking the bank.
MEGAN
Hi y'all! I'm Megan, a 31 year old equestrian lover living in Dallas, TX. I am a hunter rider who's been riding for 6 years as an adult. I came back into riding as a way to reconnect with my passion for horses. The barn time is the best me time! I am constantly learning and getting back into the saddle after breaking my leg.
I absolutely LOVE Hart Outfitters aesthetic, color combos, and the passion behind the brand. Can we talk about how amazing their belts are! Plus, I love how Hart Outfitters backs up their passion for horses by partnering with the American Wild Horse Campaign. #keepwildhorseswild

Melissa
Hello! I am Melissa and I’m 27 and live in NJ! I currently am training in dressage and have actually only been riding seriously for about four years.
I think that fitness is such a huge part of being a good partner to your horse, so I love how I can wear Hart to the gym or stable and feel confident / stylish in both places. Or horses give so much to us, that we owe it to them to be the best versions of ourselves when we get on them! I share a lot of my new riding journey online so that beginners feel less alone, and hopefully it becomes more normal to talk about all aspects of our journey- good, bad, ugly, and everything in between! The more we share, the more inclusive this sport becomes!

Leonor
Olá! I’m Leonor, a 19 year old from Porto, Portugal (the most beautiful city in the world 😋). I’ve been riding since I was 6 and only competed in show jumping. I’ve never owned a horse, but I’m sure a girl can dream ... I’ve always loved exercising as it makes me feel good, such as horse riding! That’s the best part about Hart Outfitters (besides the beautiful colors and designs) - it’s all about the equestrian athleisure and it puts together two things that I love! Although I know it’s hard, I just want everyone to know that wherever you are in the sport, you can accomplish everything you want at your own pace!

Livy
Hi! My names Livy, and I’m an 18 year old event rider based in Hampshire, UK. The elegance and simplicity of Hart Outfitters has always appealed to me, and I like to think that Connor (Sallymount Condios, my 16.2hh very handsome bay gelding) and I look pretty smart out competing, and we wear the brand with pride! After everything that horses have done for me, I think that it's really important to give back through charity initiatives. Therefore, I love Hart’s ’stay wild’ collaboration, and think it provides a depth to the brand; stylish and compassionate it a world beating combination!
