ABOUT US
A Portuguese company with a well-established tradition in the equestrian world spanning over 50 years. With a history marked by dedication and a passion for horses, we have been actively contributing to the development of equestrian sports in Portugal.
In 2021, we expanded our scope of operations with the acquisition of the Spanish brand Mr.Castle Equestrian Brand. This acquisition reflects our commitment to offering excellent products that improve the comfort and performance of our customers.

Our goal is also to provide a comprehensive advisory service to riders and all those interested in equestrian sports, offering technical support, expert advice and personalized guidance.
