Onyx Equestrian: The Brand You Should Know

The South African showjumping industry is booming in all directions with many athletes continuously improving their game and looking for the rider wear that best suits them. While there are many notable brands that many riders would ordinarily flock to, there is another equestrian apparel brand that is breaking ground and ensuring front-row seats for themselves at every major equestrian event, Onyx Equestrian (OE).

The brand first launched in the South African market in December of 2018 after being established by Chrissie Pike. A lady who has had an entire life spent with horses, the start of the company was a dream realized for Chrissie and she soon understood that the gap in the apparel market that she was searching for was destined to be filled with customised clothing. The initial batch of Onyx Equestrian clothing focused on riding shirts and numnahs but, as the Onyx brand gained popularity and the equestrian industry started to take note of this fantastic idea, the customizations grew to cover more products including Ear Veils, Day Sheets, UV Protective Sun Shirts, Zip-Up Jackets, Buffs, Caps, Socks, and any other fabric-based item you could imagine.

And, while some potential clients may look at the brand and think to themselves that Onyx only caters to the adult bracket, they would be incorrect. Onyx Equestrian is able to cater to unique, custom sizes from newborns for those true horse fanatics, to every other size you can imagine, If you ask for it, the team from Onyx Equestrian will do their best to cater to your needs. With many fabrics to choose from, Chrissie’s company has made it possible to have the exact shirt you want, in the exact design and colours that you want. As an individual client, you may feel that customization is a bit excessive and so Onyx Equestrian have further covered their bases by also having a variety of off-the-shelf Onyx Equestrian-branded apparel

For yards and teams, the ability to have shirts and numnahs made to your exact specifications is an ideal way of displaying your team name wherever your members go and further adds a show of unity. With Onyx Equestrian, this can be done at an affordable rate that won’t leave a massive dent in your wallet.

The show of faith in the OE brand is further enhanced with its fantastic brand ambassadors. Shortly after the launch of the brand, both Cinzia Pasteris from George in the Western Cape, and Catherine Macfarlane from LinRowe Stables in Gauteng, were eager to step on board and help promote the brand. With both Cinzia and Catherine being prominent features in the showjumping community and regular competitors in the open grades, their support for the company was a sensational boost of confidence for other riders to join in on the action at Onyx.

With both these talented riders still brand ambassadors, just a few short months ago, Onyx Equestrian announced the addition of a 3rd brand ambassador, Oscar Ncube. A talented rider who has seen great success across the open grades and had several competitive efforts in the 1.50m heights over the years, Oscar has been an avid supporter of the brand since it’s launch and his loyalty has now been rewarded with his ambassadorship.
