OUR WHY
Our passion, way of life, and sport is becoming more and more expensive by the day and in turn, less accessible to self-funding, grassroots and young equestrians. ALTÉO Equestrian was founded to deliver functional, affordable, and durable quality apparel to fledged and aspiring equestrians, no matter the background or discipline chosen.
OUR VISION & MISSION
To be the go-to brand for equestrians of multiple backgrounds and disciplines worldwide and increase accessibility and entry to the sport by dedicating ourselves to delivering quality, affordable apparel that is also flattering and on-trend without compromising on quality or performance.
ABOUT OUR CO-FOUNDERS
Amy has been a self-funding equestrian since her teens but was first introduced to the sport by her Grandad at a young age. She is the only member of her family who has horses and works as a Management & Transformation Consultant. Amy describes herself as an all-round equestrian with a love for classical education and equitation, groundwork, liberty, and bodywork. She loves schooling for dressage, western riding and you may see her have the occasional (albeit small) jump! When it’s not raining, (#BritishWeather) she loves to hack and go out on farm/fun rides too!
It’s safe to say that Theo, despite his sister having horses, ponies and a mule at home in Spain when growing up, was very much thrown in the deep end when Amy brought her now 3-year-old Nova home at 6 months old. Like a duck to water, he is a natural horseman and was even the first person to sit on Nova! Amy would describe Theo as a modern cowboy and is prepping him for hacking with Nova when he’s ready (we’ve got lots of time!). He is the best horse-husband, head groom, and chief “stuff holder” at shows/competitions who has even got stuck in showing in-hand before now!
BEHIND THE LOGO
With strong ties to Spain through family and the sport, as well as owning Spanish horses it was important to us that we include this in our logo, designs and branding. Focused on our values with influences from traditional Spanish Stud Brands, our logo has been designed by us and we hope it will become recognised worldwide as a seal of integrity and quality.
