our story

BASICS EQUESTRIAN was born out of a LOVE for all things horses. We know that equestrians are PASSIONATE about the sport. The ups, the downs, the highs, the lows, + everything in between. At BASICS EQUESTRIAN we are driven to SIMPLIFY your equestrian needs.

BASICS EQUESTRIAN started with one goal in mind | to design and create FUNCTIONAL horsewear, that is beautifully designed & does not compromise on QUALITY, at an AFFORDABLE price point. 

Welcome to the world of BASICS EQUESTRIAN, what's your story?

FOUNDER

Founder + brand designer, Caroline Justus Hill, fell in love with horses at the young age of five when she sat on her neighbours horse for the first time! Growing up Caroline was fortunate to take weekly lessons which eventually led to part boarding + leasing some incredibly special horses.

Coming from a working class family made horseback riding a difficult hobby to financially obtain. After graduating from university Caroline quickly realized that there was a huge gap in the market for beautiful horsewear products at affordable price points. BASICS Equestrian started from the ground up + was truly born out of a desire to make at least one aspect of the sport more affordable + inclusive!

Caroline has big visions for BASICS + is excited to continue designing timeless horsewear products + connecting with so many amazing equestrians!
