KATHERINE’S VISION

I can honestly put my hand on my heart and admit that I like the finer things in life, however as we all know too well when you own a horse(s) the price tag of those finer things can, at times, be out of reach……

The journey into business began with a dream as many horse people share, creating something of their own within the industry we love.

After more than 15 years working across the equine sector, Kentucky Equine Research, Peter Horobin Saddlery, Provet Australasia, along with professional roles outside of it, the turning point came during a solo trip to Europe in 2014. 

Inspired by the World Equestrian Games in Normandy an opportunity presented, it was then I made the decision to take the leap into business ownership.

Like most entrepreneurs, it starts with chasing a dream & It took backing myself and being willing to take the risk.

Today, Boutique Equines has built a reputation grounded in professionalism, honesty and integrity, values that are  essential in both business and life.

I strive to uphold my morals and values with all decision making, being professional and relatable is a fine balance, and
you can never put a price on honesty to do business with integrity.  All this builds the trust you customers have to work with you and spend their hard earned funds with.

One of the greatest rewards of working in the equine industry is the relationships and connections formed around
the world. I believes some of the most valuable lessons come from trusting your intuition and leading with empathy.

Embrace individuality rather than following the crowd, being brave, innovative and creating something meaningful that people remember is my goal.

My passion is to source high quality, affordable accessories from Australia & European manufacturers to fellow equestrian enthusiasts throughout Australia & New Zealand

My vision is to make each and every rider love they way they feel, love they way they look.

A polished look starts with a touch of boutique!

INSIGHT

The first European experience was to travel to the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in 2014, Normandy France.

Witnessing the legendary Valegro & Charlotte Dujardin in the flesh & bringing so much emotion to the entire stadium will be unforgettable life experience.

Realising that dreams can come true whilst driving alone on the autobahn bound for Warrendorf Germany to experience the much anticipated Bundeschampionate.

“Just believe in yourself” is a term heard regularly……. & it’s true!

From that day Boutique Equines was no longer a pipeline dream, it became reality.

The name of the business was derived from my stunning Brentano II Weltmeyer mare – Boutique II (aka Belle) who brought SO much joy into my life

The every day Amateur owner/rider is what keeps this industry afloat and if it wasn’t for the support of this majority, a small business such as Boutique Equines would cease to exist.

It is this market that Boutique Equines will proudly support by providing unique accessories at an affordable price

Our vision is to provide a touch of boutique to each and every equestrian enthusiast to help them achieve their polished look….
