Gallant Equestrian - About Me, My Mission and Story

Welcome to Gallant Equestrian — where timeless style meets everyday rideability.

I’m Matt, the founder of Gallant Equestrian, and this brand is born from a very personal place — a lifelong love of horses, and a desire to change the way men experience riding clothes.

After a 20-year break from the saddle, I returned to riding six years ago — and quickly realised how few options there were for men. The clothing was buried at the back of the shop, rarely coordinated, and often lacking in both style and fit. That gap became the catalyst for Gallant Equestrian.

In December 2023, I left the corporate world behind and launched the brand from my small rural base, where I live with my two horses, Samson and Steve, and Harry, a scruffy rescue dog with big opinions.

Gallant Equestrian is built on a simple idea: to offer a capsule wardrobe for male riders — a tight, well-considered range that’s flattering, functional, and effortless to wear. Each piece is designed to work together, with classic colours, slim but easy fits, and lightweight, breathable fabrics (many of them recycled) that move with you in and out of the saddle.

The debut collection features six key pieces in three versatile tones — perfect for everyday riding, training, and everything in between. And this is just the beginning. A competition range is coming soon.

At Gallant Equestrian, it’s not about trends. It’s about giving men the confidence to look the part — and ride their way.
