About us

Hi I am Sophie the founder of Halt Equestrian.... Why the name HALT? Its named after my children Halle and Troy, however we have since had Honey so I guess its now named after all three of my children! 

Halt started following redundancy during lockdown, I had the pleasure for many years of working for a start up E-commerce brand but as we navigated through covid and lockdown myself and many of the team was made redundant. This came at a very tricky time, as my son was 9 months old and my daughter 2 years old so I knew whatever job I did next it had to offer the same flexibility, and as a working mum this is often impossible!

However the redundancy made me hungry to start my own E-commerce business, I had the knowledge but could I make it work and what would my product be? After a brief chat to some friends at the stables who didn't laugh at my idea of starting and equestrian clothing brand I set to work on the designs and launched the first products in the May 2021, since then we have sold out of every new product we have introduced we have scaled the business to a fully operational E-commerce business and we have featured in VOGUE as an up and coming equestrian brand, our children's range is a favorite for many top UK and international riders children and we attend every trade show we aspired to trade at.

Halt is an ever evolving brand, but at the heart of it I wanted my product to be the best on the market, so we are always investing in the designs, making sure the factories are on board with our ethos, none of the designs are heavily branded and that is because good quality clothing will stand out above the rest. I felt I wanted to invest into the fabrics and the fit and let customers shout about the clothing. The reviews have been amazing, we have had 1000's of 5* reviews and we are so proud of the brand it has become. We have also introduced Halt-cycle which is our clothing take back programme and that has proved to be very popular.

As a rider I test every product, I ride in them, walk in them, and everything in-between, riding has been a passion of mine since I was very young, having owned horses all my life and show jumped on an amateur level up to my early 20's, but now both my children ride and they continually inspire my children's range. 

We hope you love HALT as much as we do, we welcome all your feedback. Moving through the seasons we will be bringing out more and more clothing and we are looking forwards to pushing the brand even further. 

Thank you to all our loyal customers over the years who have allowed me to develop the range and make HALT what it is today. 

Love Sophie - Halt HQ x
