As we are heading towards our second summer with Black Heart Equestrian, we thought it was time to do an update! At the end of August we will have been in business for two years - where has the time gone?! Black Heart Equestrian has come such a long way, especially in the last year, and we have really developed into our own brand with a unique range of products designed and produced by ourselves. Around September last year things got incredibly busy for us and with the addition of Horse of the Year Show, Your Horse Live and Olympia as well as an incredible Black Friday weekend, the brand really moved up a level in the marketplace. It has been pretty hectic...
Many of you will have seen Kat in action with The Devil’s Horsemen at Olympia this year, performing with Atkinson’s Action Horses, at HOYS, Your Horse Live and many other events and displays. Black Heart Equestrian were very lucky to have 5 minutes with Kat.

During trick riding it can be more dangerous to wear a hat as the helmet straps can get...
Hi guys, we have had lots of comments and requests for more details about the horses we use in our Black Heart Equestrian photoshoots so here’s a bit of an introduction.

He is the most gorgeous horse inside and out. He is my horse of a life time and has so much talent. We have spent most of the...
Not sure where 2018 has gone but it really flew by! What an incredible year it was for Black Heart and we are entering 2019 on a high! Final year studies at university had to take a bit of a back seat as the second half of 2018 was incredibly busy for Black Heart. When I launched the brand last August I thought things would just tick along until I had completed my degree but the growth and popularity has been unbelievable. I’ve had to get to grips with range planning, stock control and forecasting and spent lots of time creating and testing new products for 2019 – it's just so exciting! The wait for new products after the long...
